Abstract
The landscape of drug product development and regulatory sciences is evolving, driven by the increasing application of systems thinking and modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques, especially from a biopharmaceutics perspective. Patient-centric quality standards can be achieved within this context through the application of quality by design (QbD) principles and M&S, specifically by defining clinically relevant dissolution specifications (CRDS). To this end, it is essential to bridge in vitro results to drug product in vivo performance, emphasizing the need to explore the translational capacity of biopharmaceutics tools. Physiologically based M&S analyses offer a unique avenue for integrating the drug, drug product, and biological properties of a target organism to study their interactions on the pharmacokinetic response. Accordingly, Physiologically Based Biopharmaceutics Modeling (PBBM) has seen increasing use to support drug development and regulatory applications globally. In Brazil, a Model-Informed Drug Development (MIDD) policy and strategic project are not yet established, limiting applicability of M&S techniques. Drawing from the experience of the ANVISA-Academia PBBM Working Group (WG), this article assesses the opportunities and challenges for pharmacometrics (PMx) in Brazil and proposes strategies to advance the adoption of M&S analyses into regulatory decision-making.
期刊介绍:
Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology publishes peer reviewed articles that involve the generation, evaluation, and interpretation of experimental animal and human data that are of direct importance and relevance for regulatory authorities with respect to toxicological and pharmacological regulations in society. All peer-reviewed articles that are published should be devoted to improve the protection of human health and environment. Reviews and discussions are welcomed that address legal and/or regulatory decisions with respect to risk assessment and management of toxicological and pharmacological compounds on a scientific basis. It addresses an international readership of scientists, risk assessors and managers, and other professionals active in the field of human and environmental health.
Types of peer-reviewed articles published:
-Original research articles of relevance for regulatory aspects covering aspects including, but not limited to:
1.Factors influencing human sensitivity
2.Exposure science related to risk assessment
3.Alternative toxicological test methods
4.Frameworks for evaluation and integration of data in regulatory evaluations
5.Harmonization across regulatory agencies
6.Read-across methods and evaluations
-Contemporary Reviews on policy related Research issues
-Letters to the Editor
-Guest Editorials (by Invitation)
