Change the game in drug development
We combine clinical pharmacology with model-informed drug development to help you make decisions and achieve program success. The involvement of clinical pharmacology with the support of MIDD approaches will help you to achieve this objective.
Our Clinical Pharmacologists are key members of cross-functional drug development teams. We work to optimize clinical pharmacology programs and dosage through our thorough understanding of drug mechanism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and MIDD approaches. From lead selection through late-stage development, the experienced clinical pharmacologists at Certara work with sponsors to minimize risk and leverage quantitative and regulatory science to efficiently bring drugs to market. Our Clinical Pharmacology experts are:
- Experienced thought leaders who prioritize critical needs to ensure you have the right data to enable decision making and can lead cross functional teams to interpret the data collected.
- Former regulatory reviewers who consider the latest developments in regulatory requirements to develop optimal strategy.
- Quantitative Clinical Pharmacologists who work with internal and external model informed drug development partners to critique and develop quantitative strategies to fill knowledge gaps and justify dose.
- Authorities in areas such as oncology, pediatrics, complex biologics and rare diseases.
