Clinical Pharmacology Studies

Clinical pharmacology studies are necessary to characterize your drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) properties and for dosing instructions on the label. XP Pharma Consulting works with you to identify the necessary clinical pharmacology studies based on available nonclinical, DMPK, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, clinical data, and industry standards. We are confident in our recommendations to ensure you have what you need to achieve regulatory success for your drug development and registration. XP Pharma Consulting works has extensive experience in clinical pharmacology plan, study design, protocol authoring, PK/PD data analysis, study monitoring, and study reporting for various clinical pharmacology study types.

    • First-in-human (FIH)
    • Single ascending dose (SAD)
    • Multiple ascending doses (MAD)
    • Bioequivalence
    • Relative bioavailability
    • Food effects
    • Drug-drug interactions (DDI)
    • Thorough QT (TQT)
    • Pediatric PK/PD bridging to adult dose study
    • PK in hepatic-impaired subjects
    • PK in renal-impaired subjects

Noncompartmental PK Analysis (NCA)

Noncompartmental pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis (NCA) is a standard method for calculating PK parameters. It is indispensable for characterizing PK within a single study and making time-critical dose selection decisions. XP Pharma Consulting works has extensive experience supporting end-to-end pharmacokinetics for clinical studies. We can help you with PK study design, data transfer, NCA analysis with validated software tools, and TLFs (Tables, Listings, and figures) to display results aligned with the PK analysis plan, results interpretation, and high-quality reporting. We ensure you get the most out of your data, setting your program up for success. We offer following NCA services:

  • NCA analysis with validated software tools
  • PK/PD design in the study protocols
  • Analysis plans
  • PK/PD sampling in schedule of assessments
  • NCA analysis plan as part of study protocol or standalone

  • PK-dose proportionality
  • NCA analysis results interpretation
  • NCA PK exposure-response analysis
  • Submission ready reports

Pharmacometrics

Regulatory agencies are responsible for approving all new drugs and ensuring that all available drugs on the market are effective and safe for human use. Understanding the safety and effectiveness of any drug depends, in large part, on pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), PK/PD modeling and simulation (M&S). Because regulatory authorities increasingly emphasize M&S analyses and the wealth of information they provide, it is essential to consider M&S to advance your drug development program. XP Pharma Consulting works has expertise in M&S analysis and reporting. We can work with you to optimize dose and regimen, improve the probability of success, and ensure ideal labeling, prescribing, and an optimal patient experience. We offer the following services:

  • Population PK analysis
  • PK exposure-response (E-R) analysis
  • Concentration-QT analysis and modeling
  • Dose selection and justification
  • NONMEM data set preparation
  • Identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors impacting PK exposure
  • Dose simulations for different populations and formulations
  • Submission-ready reports

Clinical pharmacology presents many challenges along the development milestones to successful market approval. A streamlined clinical pharmacology strategy based on your drug’s class-specific properties is essential for efficiency and cost savings. XP Parma Consulting has intensive experience setting the strategy roadmap and helping you advance your drug development milestones. Our subject matter experts prepare regulatory documents specific to clinical pharmacology, pharmacometrics modeling, and simulation (M&S), and dose justification across the development spectrum from pre-IND to registration. We deliver high-quality written deliverables and submission-ready documents to facilitate drug development:
