Applied BioMath, LLC Announces Webinar on using Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) Approaches to Determine Best in Class Properties in Osteoarthritis

Applied BioMath (www.appliedbiomath.com), the industry-leader in applying mechanistic modeling, simulation, and analysis to accelerate and de-risk drug research and development, today announced their upcoming webinar titled "QSP Approaches to Determine Best in Class Properties for Targeted Anabolic Growth Factor to Arthritic Joints" is airing live Thursday, November 8, 2018 at 2p.m. ET / 11a.m. PT.

In this webinar, Raj Kamath, PhD, Project Director, AbbVie, will present a QSP model of targeted anabolic growth factors for intra-articular injection for the treatment of diseased joints which was created during a collaboration between Applied BioMath and AbbVie. The QSP model was used to systematically map out drug-and target-parameter space to identify tradeoffs between target and drug properties and to identify key missing data, as well as, guide drug development and discovery of disease-retaining bispecific antibodies for Osteoarthritis.

As part of this collaboration, species specific models of rat, dog, and human were developed to enable cross species translation and integration of preclinical data. The model simulations and analysis identified the efficacy receptor turnover rate as a key parameter for establishing dose feasibility. This differentiated between some potential targets in cases where high receptor turnover rate may make dosing a challenge. The model also enabled the identification of the requirements for the targeting epitope and targeting arm affinity to maximize therapeutic window and tissue targeting.

This webinar is ideal for scientists and decision makers in R&D who want to learn more about how to leverage QSP to provide quantitative guidance for their drug discovery and development.
