Model-Informed Decision Making from Drug Discovery to Reimbursement: A Roadmap for Clinical Pharmacology in Value-Based Healthcare

This commentary proposes a lifecycle approach to model-informed decision-making, from discovery and dose selection to regulatory evaluation and reimbursement. It discusses quantitative methods, patient-relevant outcomes, and real-world data, alongside challenges in integration, transparency, and stakeholder acceptance. It is a conceptual roadmap, not a prospective validation of one modeling strategy.

From Classical PKPD to Model-Informed Drug Development: Are “Digital Twins” a New Paradigm?

This perspective examines digital-twin claims against established pharmacometric practice. It argues that individual simulation, sequential updating, and decision-focused uncertainty analysis have longstanding roots in PK/PD modeling. The author emphasizes that fundamental limits, including identifiability, remain relevant despite new terminology.
