ADMET

SAE Media Group is delighted to announce the 13th annual ADMET conference returning to London on the 9th - 10th July 2018.

  • Developments in ADMET and novel technologies determine the properties of a drug candidates in the preclinical stage of drug discovery.
  • In Research and Development ADMET properties are the principal cause for a candidate to fail at any stage of drug development.
  • ADMET studies are the key strategic check-points for pharmaceutical companies to reduce drug discovery cost, and minimise production times.

His department operates at two sites, Berlin and Wuppertal, and is responsible for the DMPK support of drug discovery projects of all therapeutic areas of Bayer Pharma including cardiology, oncology, and gynaecological therapy.
Andreas received his PhD in Cell Biology from the University of Leipzig in 1994 studying the regulation of nutrient transport processes at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vivo under the supervision of Prof. Armin Ermisch.
Between 1994 and 1997 he was working in the laboratories of Profs. Joan Abbott and David Begley, King’s College London, where he became interested in in vitro models of the BBB. Funded by several pharmaceutical companies he started working on approaches to assess and predict the CNS penetration of drugs. In 1997, Andreas joined Discovery DMPK at Hoffmann-La Roche, Basel, where he expanded his area of expertise to intestinal and hepatic transport processes and their relevance to drug absorption, drug disposition and drug-induced liver toxicity. In 2000, Andreas joined Schering AG in Berlin where he helped setting up and soon became to lead the department of Research Pharmacokinetics with responsibility for in vitro ADME assays and in vivo PK studies as well as all PK and PK/PD modelling activities to predict the PK and the therapeutic dose in human. After the merger with Bayer in 2006, both RPK departments were combined under his leadership supporting all drug discovery projects of Bayer’s Pharma portfolio starting from lead discovery, through to lead optimisation and candidate selection and profiling, and beyond for both small molecules and biologics.

Application of tracer kinetics in drug development: A valuable but underused tool in clinical pharmacology

Pau Aceves, Associate Director, Certara Strategic Counselling

• Early Phase Drug Development has generally involved the study of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) under reasonably controlled experimental conditions (eg. known extent and rates of input, use of healthy subjects, etc.)
• We will be exploring the application of alternate quantitative tools: tracers kinetics, and in particular stable label isotope tracers.
• Tracer kinetics analysis allows the study of more than one form of a compound simultaneously thereby opening new opportunities, such as tracing two isoforms of the same drug given by two different routes or obtaining rates of production, pool sizes, and half-life of endogenous substances like amino acids, lipids, DNA and others.

Hypothesis testing with PBPK to understand if solubility limits in vivo absorption

Sheila Annie Peters, Head, Translational Quantitative Pharmacology, Merck Serono

• Solubility and dissolution of a drug measured in vitro are often used in PBPK models to understand their in vivo relevance, to assess the need for formulation development, as well as to estimate the effects of food and acid reducing agents (ARA) on the absorption.
• When clinical data following PO administration becomes available, in the absence of IV PK, verification of PBPK model, especially when confounded by gut metabolism and efflux, is difficult to achieve due to parameter non-identifiability.
• This presentation will talk about hypothesis testing with PBPK and how we can employ it for overcoming parameter non-identifiability in order to better predict food and ARA effects on the absorption of an API or a formulation.

In vitro and In silico tools to predict food-drug interactions

Neil John Parrott

Neil John Parrott, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Roche Pharma Research and Early Development, Roche Innovation Center Basel

• Pharmacokinetics of drugs can be affected by the physiological changes induced by a meal and so food-effect bioavailability studies are needed to support new drug applications
• The food effect is determined by a compound’s properties and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) absorption models integrating drug-specific data are useful predictive tools.
• However regulators currently lack confidence in food effect predictions and cross industry alignment on best practice is needed to support wider confidence.
• A case study will illustrate preclinical and clinical impact for a Roche molecule.

Advances in models for the prediction of human drug metabolism

Ian Wilson, Chair, Drug Metabolism and Molecular Toxicology, Imperial College

• Avoiding problems in drug development requires good methods for the prediction of drug metabolism/toxicology
• Accurate models that to predict liver-based metabolism in humans human are needed
•  Liver humanized models in rodents based on genetic modification or “chimeric” livers show some promise in this area

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.

    CPD Certificates

    We can provide a certificate for all our accredited events. To request a CPD certificate for a conference , workshop, master classes you have attended please email events@saemediagroup.com
