The role of Pharmacometrics in the development of Cuban Biotechnology products

Pharmacometrics is a vibrant scientific discipline that involves a cycle of excellence: integration, innovation and impact. This work was aimed to assess different pharmacometric approaches in three Cuban biotechnological products. A population pharmacokinetic analysis of nimotuzumab was performed in patients with stage III breast cancer with different doses of it, in combination with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) characterization of Pegylated Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO) branched 32 kDa-PEG-rHuEPO and 40 kDa- PEG-rHuEPO was conducted and compared with reference products (ior®EPOCIM and MIRCERA®) in New Zealand rabbits. Data were …
