[Expenditure item]
Simcyp Physiologically-based Pharmacokinetic Modeling (PBPK) software-related workshops, and
Journal submission.
[Purpose of expenditure]
Attending the workshops provided by Simcyp in order to obtain the information necessary to finish
our current study.
[Amount]
250,000 yen
[Expenditure period]
from December 2022 to September 2023
[Expected results]
Successfully acquiring necessary knowledge from these different workshops and incorporating it in
our current complicated work, and if I could not get the fund, attending these kinds of workshops
would be hard which eventually will affect my research.
dosing of fentanyl that includes maturation. This study aimed to develop a pragmatic PBPK model
of fentanyl and evaluate its prediction accuracy in neonates. Thus, the goals of this study were to
design, validate, and personalize pediatric and preterm PBPK models. We also assessed the dose-
concentration-response relationship in 53 Japanese preterm patients admitted in the NICU at Kobe
University Hospital.
Using our PBPK model, we can further optimize fentanyl dosing regimens across pediatric and
preterm populations and further our understanding of the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of fentanyl
in these vulnerable populations. I have a substantial need of paid workshops for this highly
complicated modeling and simulation.
