Optimizing Drug Development with PK/PD Expertise
A comprehensive understanding of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted is essential for making informed decisions throughout drug development and clinical trial design.
The Role of Pharmacokinetics (PK) & Pharmacodynamics (PD)
PK/PD studies are crucial for drug approval, as nearly 25% of the information on a drug label is derived from PK/PD data. Careful planning and smart study design can significantly accelerate the development process, ensuring that safety and efficacy goals are achieved efficiently.
