Article Title: gPKPDSim: a SimBiology ® -based GUI application for PKPD modeling in drug development
doi: 10.1007/s10928-017-9562-9
Figure Lengend Snippet: A schematic workflow of how modelers and end-users employ gPKPDSim. The expert modeler develops the model in SimBiology ® and encapsulates it into a “Session” file, which can be launched in gPKPDSim by end-users. The Session file, once loaded in gPKPDSim, enables the end-user to perform different functionalities, including simulation, data fitting (parameter estimation), population simulation, and NCA. For some of these functionalities, the user must provide a dataset. All the functionalities are supported by features such as interactive visualization, and export of results as presentation-ready figures and Excel datasets. When the user completed their tasks, the session file can be saved for future use. Note that the end-user works exclusively in the environment of gPKPDSim
Article Snippet: The population simulation functionality in gPKPDSim is intended for evaluation of parameter variability on PKPD predictions primarily in the preclinical and translational settings; this functionality should not be used for applications that require a formal population PK model. At Genentech, gPKPDSim was initially developed for and is now regularly used by PKPD scientists working on preclinical/translational PKPD of biologics and large molecules.
