PK-PD Concepts and Programming Bangalore, India 6th December 2014 India SDE 2014 1
Welcome Dear Single Day Event Attendee, We, on behalf of the organising committee would like to welcome you all to this PhUSE Single Day Event in Bangalore. Since its inception in 2005, PhUSE has been focussed on organising events of interest in the Pharma industry and since 2013 the PhUSE India working group has focussed on organising events in India. The theme of this event is PK-PD Concepts and programming. We have choosen this theme because we realised that there is a need for data scientists to understand PK-PD Concepts at length. Today s presentations will help them to understand PK-PD Concepts in details and eventually help them in programming PK-PD data. We would like to thank our sponsors Quanticate, Quintiles and Theorem for their support of this PhUSE Single Day Event in India. This event would not have been possible without the effort of the organising committee and we would like to thank them as well for all their contributions. Looking at today s remarkable response, we hope for many more events in India and Asia in the future. We wish to extend our gratitude and welcome to all organisors, participants and sponsors of the event. We hope all of you will enjoy this event and will learn a lot about the Pharma industry in general and about graphs and visualisation in particular. This event will provide you a great networking opportunity as you will get chance to meet many people from different companies.

09:45 13:00 PK-PD Concepts in Clinical Research Dr. Dhanashri Gudi Founder, EduCater Abstract Today s fast-paced drug development environment is characterized by the generation of voluminous amounts of data. Indeed, one needs to have the ability to efficiently extract pertinent knowledge from new data and have proper tools to analyse it. Understanding the basics of Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) are stepping stones for further in depth understanding of PK/PD concepts and PK/PD modeling. The aim of this introductory workshop is to present fundamental pharmacokinetic concepts in a manner that will allow participants without a specific pharmacokinetic background to subsequently apply these principles to their work. Topics covered will include: understanding physiological aspects of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. Definition, derivation and significance of pharmacokinetic parameters will be discussed at length and participants will gain insights in non-compartmental and compartmental analysis. They will also be introduced to PK/PD concepts, different models and analysis. At the end of workshop there will be a demonstration of using Phoenix WinNonlin for PK analysis. At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to calculate essential pharmacokinetic parameters, such as the rate and extent of absorption, clearance, volume of distribution and half-life from simple concentration-time data. Biography Dr. Dhanashri Gudi obtained her bachelors and masters in pharmaceutical sciences from Mumbai University. She got her PhD. in pharmaceutical sciences at the School of Pharmacy, West Virginia University, Morgantown WV followed by a post-doctoral fellowship in clinical pharmacology at the School of Medicine Indiana University.

Speakers and Abstracts 14:00 15:00 NONMEM PK-PD Dataset Programming, Making it Simpler Ravichandra Hugar, Sandeep Lakkol Theorem Clinical Research Abstract Pharmacokinetics is the study of what the body does to a drug whereas Pharmacodynamics is often summarized as the study of what a drug does to the body which helps explain the relationship between the dose and response, i.e. the drug s effects. PK/PD analysis guides in taking critical decision for the drug development such as optimizing the dose, frequency and duration of exposure. Selecting the tools for making such decisions is equally important. Fortunately, PK/PD analysis software has evolved greatly in recent years. The effect of the drug on the target population of patients is predicted using nonlinear mixed effects modeling software called NONMEM Analysis (a powerful software tool for population pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) modeling), which is becoming more and more common in clinical trials. Here the SAS Programmer s role is to create a standard dataset structure ready to be compatible for NONMEM software model. This is often the nightmare part of the process because it involves collecting multiple domains of datasets together along with the time dependent / independent covariate variables that are needed for the analysis, which includes imputation rules for covariates. Thereby getting the desired NONMEM data structure comprising of dosing and concentration records. This presentation provides the simplest way for the programming group to clearly understand the characteristics and programming methods in achieving the required model structure. It also overcomes the problems that may arise and finally minimize the time taken for creating the final NONMEM dataset.
