Rosa & Co’s 11th Consecutive Appearance at ACoP Showcases the Power of QSP Modeling with PhysioPD™ Research
PhysioPD Research reduces risk by improving understanding of how drug activity influences clinical outcomes
Panel discussion and posters showcase how PhysioPD™ Research fundamentally improves decision making at critical steps in drug development
SAN CARLOS, CA, USA, November 7, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rosa & Co1. announced today that it will lead a panel discussion and present six poster presentations at the Eleventh American Conference on Pharmacometrics (ACoP112), to be hosted virtually from 9 -13 November 2020.Rosa & Co.’s presence at ACoP11 aligns with the theme of the conference - “Scaling New Heights” - encompassing scientific expertise and innovation, education, tools and resources, and the expanding role of pharmacometrics in protecting and improving human health.
“We are excited to chair a panel discussion and present at a premier event such as ACoP11, which will be held safely in a virtual format,” said Christina Friedrich, Rosa & Co.’s Chief Engineer. “Our results illustrate how PhysioPD3 Research supports drug development and provides significant insights even when data are sparse, when clinical symptom scores are complex or qualitative, and when a clinical trial is not possible, as is the case for opioid overdose reversal.”
Rosa & Co’s presentations focus on PhysioPD Research contributions in a range of therapeutic areas, including atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, Alzheimer’s disease, treatment-induced vasomotor symptoms, central nervous system diseases, and opioid overdose. In all projects, PhysioPD increased confidence in clinical trial design and/or product submissions based on a material improvement in understanding how drug mechanisms influence clinical outcomes.
The schedules for the panel discussion and the posters to be presented at ACoP11 are as follows:

LLC, San Carlos CA, USA)
Conclusions from the panel discussion and case studies include: 1) the importance of PhysioPD Research for integrating mechanistic and clinical data to investigate new targets, compounds, or protocols; 2) the power of models to reproduce clinical data mechanistically and thereby increase confidence in informed extrapolation to new scenarios; and 3) the need for modeling transparency and stakeholder involvement for QSP outcomes.
