In recent years significant progress has been made in the area of pharmacodynamics. On the basis of diverse pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling concepts it has become possible to describe and predict the time course of drug effects under physiological and pathological conditions. The study of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships can be of considerable value in understanding drug action, summarizing extensive data, finding optimal dosing regimens, and in making predictions under new circumstances. Not surprisingly, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling concepts are increasingly applied in drug development.
This course will deal with the theoretical aspects and with the applications of simultaneous pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling.
