Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Consulting Services

Predictive insights leveraging the largest, global QSP modeling team

Predict clinical outcomes for novel targets, modalities & combinations

Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) consulting services at Certara combine computational modeling and experimental data to address complex challenges in drug development. QSP bridges the gap between biology and pharmacology by generating a quantitative math model to characterize therapeutic pharmacology in the context of a complex biological system, disease processes, and therapeutic mechanism of action (MOA). By examining interactions between drugs, biological systems, and diseases, QSP offers a robust framework for predicting clinical outcomes, optimizing therapeutic strategies, and streamlining decision-making. Certara’s regulatory-ready platforms support reproducible model development across various therapeutic areas, including oncology, inflammation and immunology, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The QSP modeling and clinical pharmacology package you used to support our program was instrumental to the success of our study. The deep expertise and patience you brought to the program were game-changing as we now have a state-of-the-art development program for a T cell engager. The QSP-derived starting dose enabled us to start at a higher dose in the clinical trial and we are pleased to report that this starting dose was accepted for the IND and CTA for our lead T cell engager, CDR404. We look forward to updating the QSP model with real patient data as well as maintaining the ongoing collaboration with Applied BioMath*.

FAQs

What is Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP)?

Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) integrates computational modeling and experimental data to optimize drug development processes. QSP models combine systems biology and pharmacology and models are built on the principle that the effect of a therapeutic may not be the result of one specific interaction, but rather a network of interactions. In doing so, QSP bridges the gap between biology and pharmacology to arrive at a quantitative math model that characterizes therapeutic pharmacology in the context of a complex biological system, disease processes, and therapeutic mechanism of action (MOA). 

How does QSP benefit drug development?

Because QSP models are built as a platform model for a disease, a pathway, or a modality, they can enable prediction of clinical outcomes, optimization of dose regimens, and improve overall therapeutic strategy. In addition to incorporating biological understanding of the disease or the pathway, QSP models can incorporate data from a range of drugs, multiple studies, and an array of different types of data (clinical PK, biomarker, efficacy data, preclinical data, in vitro data, etc).

Which therapeutic areas does Certara’s QSP team support?

Certara provides QSP services across oncology, immuno-oncology, neurological indications, infectious diseases, inflammation and immunology indications, and more.
