When to consider intra-target microdosing: physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling approach to quantitatively identify key factors for observing target engagement

Frontiers in Pharmacology July 25, 2024 Yasunori Aoki, Malcom Rowland, Yuichi Sugiyama

Intra-Target Microdosing (ITM), integral to Phase 0 clinical studies, offers a novel approach in drug development, effectively bridging the gap between preclinical and clinical phases. This methodology is especially relevant in streamlining early drug development stages. Our research utilized a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model and Monte Carlo simulations to examine factors...
