Dear all, Uppsala Pharmacometrics will give two online courses on advanced topics in pharmacometrics using Zoom a solution for online meetings ranked #1 in customer reviews.
The online courses will offer: - Live video lectures and hands-on - Engaging Q&A and polling - Enriching discussions in small breakout rooms - Possibility for remote assistance - Hands-on material developed for NONMEM 7.4 Perl-speaks-NONMEM (PsN) and Xpose - A vast amount of hands-on examples, code, code snippets, and lecture material - Virtual coffee breaks to connect with other participants "I thought it was a great course!", "I am really liking this course.", "You got all this information with a single command?" (Some participant feedback from the previous iteration of the course) For more information see below. For even more information and registration please visit http://www.uppsala-pharmacometrics.com. Course 1: Advanced methods for population model building, evaluation, and usage in NONMEM ========================================================================= May 11-13, 2020 Andrew Hooker & Mats Karlsson Pharmacometric modeling has become a pillar in model informed drug development (MIDD). With this comes expectations with respect to quality, efficiency, transparency, and innovation in the implementation of the modeling and decision-making process. In this course we will present methods that will help make model building of standard problems more efficient and improve the final product. Further, it will give modelers a larger toolset of diagnostics and model components when it comes to development of models for challenging situations. Automated procedures recently developed for PsN & R facilitates a comprehensive assessment of a model and tailored functionality allow command-line transformations of models. If you want to learn how to use tools and methods for fast, efficient and comprehensive model building, evaluation and usage, come join us in May! Course 2: Pharmacometric modeling of composite score outcomes =================================================== May 14-15, 2020 Sebastian Ueckert & Mats Karlsson The EDSS in multiple sclerosis, the ACR scale for rheumatoid arthritis, or the MDS-UPDRS in Parkinson’s disease; these composite scales are as diverse as the diseases they are designed to measure. Composite scores also arise through patient-reported outcomes (PROs) that aim at measuring symptom status, physical function, mental health, and other measures important to patients. The wide range of novel pharmacometric models and approaches developed during the past years is a testament to the growing importance of this data type. This course will cover recent innovations and provide participants with a rich set of tools for analyzing composite scores in a wide variety of therapeutic areas. The course will illustrate how one can leverage finely grained item-level information but also how summary score data are most efficiently utilized. Throughout the course, questions of both model building and model-use will be discussed and presented in an interactive format including hands-on exercises.
