5. Pharmacometrics for Combination Therapy in Oncology Within and Across Species Variability in Time Series and Time-to-event Data
Abstract : Mathematical modeling is an integral part of the drug development process. Models are developed to describe tumor dynamics or drug concentration to answer questions such as: What concentration is required to reach the desirable treatment outcome? What drug dose and frequency should a drug prescription specify to achieve this concentration? Models are also used for simulation, reducing the need to perform additional animal trials. READ MORE
