Earning professional certification through this new online accreditation program will validate scientists PK/PD data analysis skills using Certara software such as Phoenix WinNonlin and expand their professional reach. Phoenix NLME 8.1 can create high-quality VPC plots for continuous and count data, categorical data, and time-to-event data.Īlong with the Phoenix 8.1 release, Certara is introducing its Professional Certification Program through Certara University. VPC is one method that provides a graphical comparison of the distribution of observations and predictions versus an independent variable such as time, dose, or another covariate. Simulation-based tools are increasingly used to evaluate non-linear mixed effects (NLME) models. Updated validation template documents are also aligned with the latest regulatory guidance for computer system validation, ICH E6 Good Clinical Practice R2 with added sections for risk assessment, SOP requirements, security, and data backup and recovery. It automatically executes 83 detailed test scripts and creates a validation history within Phoenix.
WINNONLIN MODELING PDF
WinNonlin Validation Suite 8.1 provides validation template documents and full software validation in under 30 minutes with evidence of validation including locked PDF reports containing links to saved reference files, user output files, and difference files. Certara has upgraded the Phoenix graphics engine which now allows chart controls by sort or group variable, order profiles in legend, error bars for bar/column plots, and offset for any overlaid plot.Įasy and Expedited Validation for Phoenix WinNonlin Phoenix WinNonlin 8.1 also provides additional automated statistical calculations, such as geometric SD, user-specified percentiles, and an option to select statistics for outputs. For example, scientists can access a report-ready table of exposure parameters and easily identify any gender differences within seconds and use those data to create plots to highlight the differences. This new tool eliminates the need to create a workflow or use external tools, resulting in greater efficiency and time savings. Phoenix WinNonlin delivers one-step, automated calculation of NCA ratios for renal clearance, accumulation ratio, gender differences, linearity index, and parent to metabolite exposure ratios. Ratio calculations on PK parameters are essential for study reports and for interpreting results, but calculating them can be time-consuming, taking too many steps and external tools. Included in the Phoenix 8.1 rollout are a new Ratios Tool for noncompartmental analysis (NCA), an enhanced Validation Suite for Phoenix WinNonlin®, and an improved Visual Predictive Check (VPC) in Phoenix NLME. Phoenix is also employed by many global regulatory agencies for submittal review, including the European Medicines Agency, Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, China Food and Drug Administration, and 11 divisions of the US Food and Drug Administration. Furthermore, the Phoenix team provides users with robust documentation, technical and educational support, and a continuing community to leverage best practices. Key to its wide adoption is the native graphical user interface (GUI) and easy-to navigate workflow templates that enable all modelers-both new and experienced-to quickly and accurately leverage the software. Phoenix is used by 6,000 researchers at 1,500 biopharmaceutical companies and academic institutions in 60 countries. We are proud to launch Phoenix 8.1, which offers significant statistical, graphical and validation enhancements to automate processes, saving both time and resources, said Thomas Kerbusch, PhD, President of Certara Strategic Consulting.
To that end, we are committed to providing a full range of modeling and simulation technology, advisory services, compliance support, and training programs to ensure that scientists optimize their work. ∼ertaras mission is to improve decision-making throughout the drug development continuum we are involved at every step from selecting the best drug candidate to demonstrating its value to payers and health authorities. 90% of novel drugs approved by the US FDA are from companies that leverage Phoenix in their R&D programs. Phoenix is the most advanced and widely-used validated software for pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and toxicokinetic (TK) modeling and simulation worldwide. PRINCETON, NJ - Certara®, the global leader in model-informed drug development, regulatory science, market access and real-world evidence services, today announced the launch of Phoenix® 8.1.
Certara provides scientists with automated, comprehensive tools for PK/PD analysis and modeling, and announces industry's first PK/PD certification program for Phoenix software in partnership with Credly
