  2. 1. Integrated Product and Process Design for Mass Customization: A Road Towards Patient Access to Individualized Pharmaceutical Therapy

    Author : Rydvikha Govender; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hot melt extrusion; mass customization; modularization; integration; fused deposition modelling; individualized therapy; pharmaceutical manufacturing; reconfiguration; polymeric solid dispersion; patient-centric product design;

    Abstract : Individualized pharmaceutical therapy strives to attain optimal health outcomes a priori in all patients treated with pharmaceutical products by tailoring these products to each patient’s holistic needs. However, existing mass-produced pharmaceutical products are not available in sufficient variety to enable adequate tailoring to the diverse needs of individuals. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of Retroviral Reverse Transcriptase and Flaviviral Protease Enzymes as Antiviral Drug Targets : Applications in Antiviral Drug Discovery & Therapy

    Author : Muhammad Junaid; Jarl ES Wikberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Virus; enzymes; HIV AIDS; retroviral reverse transcriptase; flaviviral protease; NRTIs; proteochemometrics; drug resistance; DEN; JEV; NS2B H -NS3pro; antiviral; drug targets; drug discovery; drug therapy.; Farmakologi; Pharmacology;

    Abstract : Viruses are a major threat to humans due to their unique adaptability, evolvability and  capability to control their hosts as parasites and genetic elements. HIV/AIDS is the third largest cause of death by infectious diseases in the world, and drug resistance due to the viral mutations is still the leading cause of treatment failure. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modelling and Simulation to Improve Antimalarial Therapy

    Author : Jesmin Permala Lohy Das; Mats Karlsson; Martin Bergstrand; Joel Tarning; Mads Krielgaard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacometrics; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; malaria; artemisinin; weekly dosing; resistant; pregnant populations; intermittent preventive therapy; parasite clearance; day 3 positivity; nomogram; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi;

    Abstract : The introduction of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) substantially reduced malaria-related mortality and morbidity during the past decade. Despite the widespread use of ACT, there is still a considerable knowledge gap with regards to safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties of these drugs, particularly in vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women.

  6. 4. Pharmacometrics for Combination Therapy in Oncology Within and Across Species Variability in Time Series and Time-to-event Data

    Author : Marcus Baaz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mathematical Modeling; Pharmacometrics; Nonlinear Mixed Effects; Oncology; Combination Therapy; Radiation Therapy;

    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

  7. 5. Data-driven modeling of combination therapy in oncology

    Author : Tim Cardilin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Model-Based Drug Development; Pharmacokinetics Pharmacodynamics; Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models; Combination Therapy; Mathematical Modeling; Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models;

    Abstract : This thesis contains two manuscripts: Tumor Static Concentration Curves in Combination Therapy and Extending the Tumor Static Concentration Curve to Exposure - A Combination Therapy Example with Radiation Therapy. There is also an introductory chapter presenting some basic facts necessary to understand the appended manuscripts. READ MORE
