Development of an mPBPK machine learning framework for early target pharmacology assessment of biotherapeutics by Krutika Patidar, Nikhil Pillai, Saroj Dhakal, Lindsay B. Avery, Panteleimon D. Mavroudis

“…We identified that variations in the antibody dose and dosing scheme, target form (soluble or membrane-bound), antibody charge, and site of action had a significant effect on the TO and selection criteria for antibody drug candidates. By unraveling new design rules for antibody drug properties that are dependent on ML-based TO assessment, we deliver a first-in-class ML-based target pharmacology assessment framework toward better understanding of the biology-specific PK and ADME processes of antibody drug candidate proteins and reduce the overall time for drug development.…”
