Course Overview

Pharmacokinetics is an important discipline, imperative to the development of new medicines. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data is gathered throughout drug development and is crucial when designing clinical trials or preparing a drug submission dossier.

This training course provides you with knowledge of the core aspects of pharmacokinetics, so you perform with confidence in your role. You will learn important definitions, how to analyse pharmacokinetic data, the relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, drug-drug interactions and regulatory requirements. Once completed you will have the knowledge to communicate and interpret the work of PK/PD scientists.

With the Educo Post Learning Implementation Plan (PLIP) you will have the framework to apply and implement the knowledge acquired in the training, supporting you in your development. Learn more about how we deliver both online and classroom training courses.

Key Learning Objectives

Understand key principles of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, including: Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion.
Review important concepts such as: Volume of distribution, plasma protein binding, clearance and elimination half-life
Examine and understand regulatory requirements so you know what regulators want to see
Understand how PK/PD data can influence decision making during drug discovery and drug development
Consolidate your knowledge with case studies and understand the relevance of pharmacokinetics in practice
Analyse pharmacokinetics within large molecules (biopharmaceuticals)
Review key definitions, data analysis and regulatory expectations: The fundamentals of PK/PD
Examine PK/PD for biological drugs to appreciate the differences from small molecules

Dr. Stefano Persiani is currently Director of Translational Sciences and Pharmacokinetics at Rottapharm Biotech, Italy. After years working in academia, Dr. Persiani moved to the pharmaceutical industry and CRO sector holding different positions always applying pharmacokinetic approaches in R&D at Farmitalia Carlo Erba, Pharmacia, Upjon, and Zambon Group.

His experience within pharmaceutical companies and CROs includes the assessment of pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, and drug-drug interactions during drug discovery for lead optimization and in preclinical as well as in clinical pharmacology during drug development. He has experience addressing pharmacokinetic issues for drugs and biologics under development in different therapeutic areas including oncology, respiratory, CNS, anti-infective, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and rheumatology. In these therapeutic areas, he applies translational, PK/PD prediction, and modelling strategies for candidate selection and to obtain the proof of concept of efficacy and safety in preclinical models as well as during clinical trials in the target patient populations. Dr. Persiani regularly interacts with regulatory authorities and acts as peer reviewer of scientific articles in the field of pharmacokinetics and clinical pharmacology.

This course is aimed at anyone who interacts with PK/PD data but does not require specialist knowledge in the field. No previous knowledge of PK/ PD is assumed.

Relevant departments include:

Rated 5 out of 5

AstraZeneca – January 10, 2024

I had a really excellent experience. Stefano is a brilliant trainer who is very much experience, he took the time to answer the many questions I had, which were really helpful for me to apply to what I am currently doing. After the live sessions, I spent many hours going over the recordings and increased my understanding of PK. I would recommend others to do this. I can now say that I have built much knowledge and understanding and is helping me to deliver and support the team at work. So glad I attended, Thank you Stefano and Educo; Keep it going!
