Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for predicting drug-drug interactions perpetrated by posaconazole in healthy subjects with normal weight and obesity: Concomitant use and washout

This study presents a validated whole-body PBPK model characterizing drug-drug interactions (DDIs) involving posaconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal, in individuals with normal weight and obesity. Findings highlight a prolonged half-life and irreversible CYP3A4 inhibition in patients with BMI ≥35 kg/m², underscoring the increased risk of DDIs even after discontinuation. The model supports optimized dosing and risk assessment for co-administered CYP3A4-sensitive drugs.

Integrated Two‑Analyte Population Pharmacokinetics Model of Patritumab Deruxtecan (HER3‑DXd) Monotherapy in Patients with Solid Tumors

This work illustrates how integrated population PK modeling of antibody-conjugated payload and free payload analytes for an ADC can inform development strategies for targeted therapies—particularly in complex oncology settings.

Cost Effectiveness of Individualized Dosing for Hypothetical New Drug in Atopic Dermatitis: A Pharmacometric-Pharmacoeconomic Simulation Study

A companion poster to the ASCPT print copy, this visual presentation emphasizes the simulation approach used to evaluate individualized dosing strategies and their economic implications. Results underscore the importance of reducing discontinuation rates to enhance value.

Individualized dosing may improve the cost effectiveness of new therapeutics in atopic dermatitis

This study uses pharmacometric and pharmacoeconomic modeling to explore the cost effectiveness of individualized dosing for a hypothetical new atopic dermatitis drug compared to dupilumab. Simulation scenarios tested the impact of treatment discontinuation rates, efficacy variability, and pricing on cost utility outcomes.
