Modeling and Simulation in Clinical Pharmacology and Dose Finding

The breakout session 2 of the European Medicines Agency/European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations Modeling and Simulation (M&S) workshop focused on two topics: when and how M&S should be used and would be accepted by the authorities for the dose-regimen selection; and when and how M&S can be applied to register a dosing regimen without the need for a specific study. Each topic was introduced by an industry and regulatory perspective, followed by case examples for illustration (Table 1).
