SAN FRANCISCO, October 29, 2024 – InsightRX – the leader in Bayesian model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) software – today announced it will present two research abstracts at ACoP15 2024, which is scheduled to be held Nov. 10-13 at the Arizona Grand Resort in Phoenix.
The American Conference on Pharmacometrics (ACoP) is the annual scientific meeting of the International Society of Pharmacometrics (ISoP) and focuses on all aspects of modeling and simulation in pharmacology and therapeutics. This year’s gathering is the 15th ACoP annual event.
The abstracts to be presented by InsightRX at the conference are:
Cystatin C complements but does not exceed serum creatinine as a renal function marker: evidence from vancomycin pharmacokinetic model performance in a clinical context
Monday, Nov. 11, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST
Presenter: Dominic Tong, Ph.D., Senior Data Scientist, InsightRX
Collaborators: Jasmine Hughes, Ph.D., Director of Data Science, InsightRX; Ron Keizer, PharmD, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, InsightRX
Summary: Cystatin C (CYSC) and serum creatinine (CR) are two biomarkers used in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a marker of kidney function. For population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models, an accurate estimate of kidney function is critical in determining drug clearance. In this study, InsightRX researchers compare CR-based and CYSC-based popPK model performance for adult patients treated with vancomycin, and evaluate whether a refit model using one or both biomarkers improves vancomycin prediction.
mipdtrial: an open-source R package for simulating model-informed precision dosing trials
Monday, Nov. 11, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST
Presenter: Jasmine Hughes, Director of Data Science, InsightRX
Collaborators: Jordan Brooks, Ph.D., PharmD – Pharmacometrician, InsightRX; Ron Keizer, Ph.D., PharmD – Chief Scientist, InsightRX; Dominic Tong, Ph.D. – Senior Data Scientist, InsightRX
Summary: The success of any given model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) protocol depends on a variety of factors, such as biomarker sample timing or frequency, dose selection algorithm, and model suitability. The large number of MIPD protocol parameters that can be optimized prohibits prospective clinical trials for data-driven protocol development. Simulation permits investigation of protocol parameters towards successful implementation of MIPD in a trial or in routine clinical practice, but existing tools are cumbersome to use. This poster explains how InsightRX researchers created an R package that provides tools for simulating MIPD treatment courses to assess the relationship between protocol parameters and attainment of PK/PD targets.
“We’re looking forward to presenting our research at ACoP15 and discussing how model-informed precision dosing is increasing the accuracy of antibiotic dosing,” said Sirj Goswami, PhD, CEO and cofounder of InsightRX. “By sharing our findings with colleagues in the pharmacometric community, we can show how MIPD can improve clinical outcomes and operational efficiency.”
