Certara®, a global biosimulation technology-enabled consultancy, announced version 2.0 of its Cardiac Safety Simulator (CSS), which has become a standalone product for the first time. CSS is an alternative to Thorough QT/QTc (TQT) studies. CSS uses drug-triggered cardiac ion-current disruption data, together with predicted in-vivo exposure information to evaluate the factors influencing potential cardiac risk.
CSS v2.0 offers new features including the following:
- Enhanced QSAR models for predicting drug-triggered IKr, IKs, INa and ICaL current inhibition based on automatically-calculated phys-chem data (when in-vitro data are not available)
- Predicts population variability and drug-triggered physiology modifications
- Permits assessment of the potential impact of disease and genotypes; allows for genotype-related ionic current modification at the multiple channels level
- Contains an additional human left ventricular muscle cell model
- Evaluates up to seven chemical species (drugs, metabolites and other substances) simultaneously that are interacting at the ion channel(s) level
- Provides a new flexible, Excel-based tool to enhancevisualization and analysis of simulation results
Unlock Commercial Growth through Data-Driven Patient and HCP Insights
May 2nd 2025Leveraging data-driven patient and healthcare provider (HCP) insights, including social drivers of health (SDOH), is essential for life sciences companies to continuously improve patient engagement and commercial success. Mark Rodgers, AVP of Commercial Analytics at Inovalon, discusses how identifying treatment milestones, assessing HCP performance, and segmenting patient populations using SDOH data can drive targeted strategies that improve healthcare outcomes and market access
