With co-financing from Swedish innovation agency Vinnova, SweDeliver industrial partner Pharmetheus will increase its engagement in the development of quantitative approaches to improve chances of clinical success and facilitate risk mitigation in the development of drugs intended for subcutaneous administration.
“With a combination of quantitative system pharmacology and physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling, we aim to achieve quantitative description, translation, and prediction of pharmacological interactions and drug delivery-dependent drug disposition,” states Erik Sjögren, Senior Consultant at Pharmetheus.
