Abstrakt: Exploratory analyses of data pertaining to pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and disease progression are often referred to as the pharmacometrics (PM) analyses. The objective of the current report is to assess the role of PM, at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in drug approval and labeling decisions. We surveyed the impact of PM analyses on New Drug Applications (NDAs) reviewed over 15 months in 2005-2006. The survey focused on both the approval and labeling decisions through four perspectives: clinical pharmacology primary reviewer, their team leader, the clinical team member, and the PM reviewer. A total of 31 NDAs included a PM review component. Review of NDAs involved independent quantitative evaluation by FDA pharmacometricians. PM analyses were ranked as important in regulatory decision making in over 85% of the 31 NDAs. Case studies are presented to demonstrate the applications of PM analysis.
