Key result
The InSilicoTrials cloud-based platform successfully replicated historical preclinical and clinical trial results across four use cases, demonstrating its utility in accelerating drug and device development.
Why the study?
To facilitate and widen the adoption of in silico trials for bench, preclinical, and clinical evaluations across diverse disease areas.
Cloud-based in silico trial platforms can accurately emulate preclinical and clinical studies, potentially accelerating medical product development and regulatory evaluation.
May accelerate device and drug evaluation with virtual patients; leaves open standardized regulatory validation for in silico evidence.
The use of in silico trials is expected to play an increasingly important role in the development and regulatory evaluation of new medical products. Among the advantages that in silico approaches offer, is that they permit testing of drug candidates and new medical devices using virtual patients or computational emulations of preclinical experiments, allowing to refine, reduce or even replace time-consuming and costly benchtop/in vitro/ex vivo experiments as well as the involvement of animals and humans in in vivo studies. To facilitate and widen the adoption of in silico trials, InSilicoTrials Technologies has developed a cloud-based platform, hosting healthcare simulation tools for different bench, preclinical and clinical evaluations, and for diverse disease areas. This paper discusses four use cases of in silico trials performed using the InSilicoTrials.com platform. The first application illustrates how in silico approaches can improve the early preclinical assessment of drug-induced cardiotoxicity risks. The second use case is a virtual reproduction of a bench test for the safety assessment of transcatheter heart valve substitutes. The third and fourth use cases are examples of virtual patients generation to evaluate treatment effects in multiple sclerosis and prostate cancer patients, respectively.
