Company Background

Simcyp is a pharmaceutical development and information management consultancy that develops algorithms, databases and software for modelling and simulation of the absorption and disposition of drugs in patients and specific sub-groups of patients, using experimental data generated routinely during pre-clinical drug discovery and development from in vitro enzyme and cellular systems.

Many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies use the Simcyp Simulator product and services to provide valuable predictive information that can drive key management decisions relating to:
  • drug candidate selection;
  • clinical trial design & clinical trial avoidance; and
  • the generation of information on drug-drug interactions for the Summary of Product Characteristics and Prescribing Information sheets.

For the non-technical

Simcyp informatics platform and consultancy services enables pharmaceutical companies to predict how the human body interacts with the drugs under development “before” running clinical testing programmes. By identifying any populations of patients that would be at risk, the drug companies can tailor their first testing programmes on humans in an informed way, so that the risk of an adverse reaction is reduced.
