Course Description
The course presents fundamental pharmacokinetic concepts in a manner that will allow participants without a specific pharmacokinetic background to apply these principles to their work. The emphasis will be on conceptual understanding with supporting methods to encourage active learning and long-term retention. Basic concepts of clearance, volume of distribution, and bioavailability will be presented and applied to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs.
This course gives a basic understanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to either further their own work or to more effectively interact with scientists involved in pharmacokinetic and drug delivery research. Concepts covered in this course are essential in the evaluation of traditional dosage forms and innovative medical delivery systems and devices.
Course Objectives
- Understanding the requirements for ADME
- Knowing about PK/TK, and DM studies conducted to select the optimal drug discovery lead
- Supporting first-in-human clinical trials (preclinical studies)
- Comparing metabolism profiles from animal models to humans (nonclinical / clinical evaluations)
Who Should Attend?
- Personnel in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries
- Contract research organizations (CROs) who need to understand the principles and requirements for ADME
- Personnel working in drug discovery and the preclinical/nonclinical and clinical development processes
- Nonclinical and clinical scientists and managers
- Project team leaders at pharmaceutical companies and related industries
- Those who seek information to support submissions to regulatory authorities
