Cardiac Safety Simulator

Address cardiotoxicity risk with confidence

Cardiac Safety Simulator for early identification of cardiovascular adverse events

Drug-induced cardiovascular adverse events remain a leading factor behind drug withdrawals from the market and drug label restrictions. Early identification of a drug candidate’s potential to induce arrhythmias is therefore critical in the drug development process. Certara’s Cardiac Safety Simulator (CSS) offers a sophisticated solution to this challenge.

This state-of-the-art modeling and simulation platform is specifically designed to evaluate the pro-arrhythmic potential of drugs, new chemical entities, and other xenobiotics within the intended clinical population, providing a proactive approach to cardiac safety assessment.

Unlock powerful insights with a flexible, Excel-based solution.
Simulate the effects of multiple ion channel inhibition with advanced accuracy.
Predict population variability and explore drug-induced physiological changes.
Evaluate up to seven chemical species simultaneously interacting at the ion channel(s) level.
Assess various ECG related outputs/endpoints such as QT/QTc, QRS, J-Tpeak, and Tpeak-Tend.

Cardiac Safety Simulator assesses cardiac toxicity throughout drug development

Certara’s Cardiac Safety Simulator provides early and comprehensive assessments of cardiac toxicity.

Preclinical development

  • Elevate your cardiac safety assessments with enhanced quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) models that predict ion channel current inhibition, even in the absence of in vitro data.
  • Harness the power of QSAR combined with in vitro physiological measurements to gain early, reliable insights into drug-related cardiac safety.
  • Seamlessly evaluate up to seven chemical entities—including drugs, metabolites, and other xenobiotics or endogenous compounds—as they interact with ion channels, delivering advanced precision and clarity to your simulations.

Clinical development

  • Combine in vivo data with the Cardiac Safety Simulator to deliver a comprehensive and precise evaluation of cardiac risk, tailored to account for patient variability.
  • Seamlessly integrate the Cardiac Safety Simulator with the Simcyp™ PBPK Simulator to streamline clinical study design, empowering you with cutting-edge tools for informed decision-making and progress in drug development.
