“Soutenir le développement de médicaments en définissant la bonne dose pour chaque patient grâce à des techniques de modélisation et de simulation.”

Rôle à l’Institut Roche et parcours professionnel :

I have been working for Roche since 2009, based within the Institut Roche since 2011. During those years, I have been supporting pRED (Roche Pharma Research and Early Development) project developments as a pharmacometrician within the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department. My role is to develop mathematical models to describe pharmacokinetic (PK), PK-pharmacodynamic (PD), and PK-Efficacy or Safety relationships using data from clinical studies (phase 1 to phase 3). Using those models, I have been supporting, dose and dosing regimen selection for drug development projects in various diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease (Gantenerumab), Hemophilia A (Hemlibra) and Flu (Xofluza). I have also been supporting drug registrations and labellings in front of Health Authorities (FDA, EMA, PMDA, NMPA, etc..).

Objectif à l’Institut Roche :

Conception optimale pour l’estimation des paramètres individuels et de population dans les modèles non linéaires à effets mixtes. Sélection de modèles et méthodes de calcul de moyenne des modèles dans les essais de recherche de dose analysés par des modèles non linéaires à effets mixtes. Sélection de modèles de covariables et d’incertitudes associées pour l’inférence de covariables dans les analyses pharmacométriques. Application de ces méthodes à l’analyse des médicaments en cours de développement.
