Outline:


Course overview - An outline of the module's scope and objectives, and notes on terminology.

Role of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics - Although pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) studies are routinely carried out in nonclinical and clinical stages of drug development, their role is perhaps less well understood than it ought to be by those who are not specialists in the field. In addition, greater emphasis is being placed by regulators on the value of PK and PD data. Evidence of good practice in the execution of PK and PD studies, and sound understanding of the implications of their findings, are becoming increasingly important in drug registration. In this session we define PK and PD, outline the uses of PK and PD data in a drug development program, and give examples of how good practice in obtaining and interpreting PK and PD data can contribute to the minimization of risk for a drug.

PK and PD studies in drug development - In this session we discuss the various types of study carried out to acquire pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data, grouping them into those conducted in animals only, in animals and humans, and in humans only. We identify their goals, rationale, and place in a drug development program.

Drug administration routes - In this session, after introducing the principal pharmacokinetic parameters, we describe the PK and PK/PD characteristics of each drug administration route. We discuss the different medical-scientific questions to be addressed by PK/PD research for the different routes.

Pharmacodynamic studies - In this session we discuss the scope of pharmacodynamics, distinguish pharmacodynamic from clinical outcomes, and outline how the former may be used as surrogates for the latter. The core information from PD studies is a quantitative description of the dose-response relationship and the influence of various factors on this relationship. We emphasize the importance of interpreting the shape of the dose-response curve in making major decisions on a drug's development. Finally, we discuss factors that can influence the beneficial and adverse effects of a drug.

Assessment - Multiple-choice mastery assessment.

Certification Requirements: To earn a certificate, students must complete the entire course and pass an online, multiple-choice final assessment within 12 months of enrollment. Upon meeting these requirements, a certificate of completion is instantly available in PDF format.

Biopharma Institute's online training provides immediate access after enrollment. Students receive their username, password, and instructions via email directly after registering. The final assessment can be attempted as many times as necessary to achieve a passing score. Once the course is successfully completed, the certificate is generated instantly in an encrypted PDF format, featuring a watermark, unique validation code, and QR verification barcode.

Training achievements can be verified on our website using the certificate's unique ID or QR code. For professional certification programs, a digital badge is also issued, allowing students to showcase their accomplishment on platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Badgr.

Certificates and digital badges include the completion date but do not display an expiration date. Compliance training is generally considered valid for up to three years, and many organizations schedule refresher training every one to three years to maintain alignment with evolving regulations, standards, and GxP expectations. Biopharma Institute does not assign a universal expiration date as it recognizes that the validity period or recertification interval for each individual worker should be determined by each individual organization's quality management team.
