Abstract: A method for repurposing a pharmaceutical compound. The method includes identifying a pharmaceutical compound, the pharmaceutical compound corresponding to a drug that has failed in clinical development or an approved drug. A mathematical model describing the physiological processes related to at least one disease and the effects of the pharmaceutical compound on the disease is created. The model is adjusted based upon information from preclinical or clinical trials. A new treatment protocol is suggested to salvage the failed drug or a new way to use an approved drug. The suggested treatment protocol is displayed. Systems and computer program products encompassing the above techniques are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of performing interactive clinical trials for testing a new drug. A pre-clinical phase is performed in which a computer model for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug is created and adjusted based on in vitro studies and in vivo studies in animals. A phase I clinical research is performed in which a clinical trial on at least a single dose is performed in parallel with performing computer simulation studies using the computer model. An optimal protocol is determined for the most responsive patient populations and indications for a phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trial is performed where a number of small scale clinical trials are performed in parallel based on results of the above. Phase III clinical research is performed for chosen indications by chosen protocols. Phase IV studies are performed for post-marketing subpopulation analysis and long term product safety assessment.

Abstract: A method of performing interactive clinical trials for testing a new drug comprising performing a pre-clinical phase in which a computer model for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug is created and adjusted based on in vitro studies and in vivo studies in animals. A phase I clinical research is performed in which a clinical trial on at least a single dose is performed in parallel with performing computer simulation studies using the computer model. The computer model is adjusted based on comparison of the results of the clinical research and the computer simulation. A maximal tolerated dose, minimum effective dose, and a recommended dose is determined based on the phase I clinical research in conjunction with the computer simulations. The drug is checked for cumulative effects and providing this information to the computer model. Multiple simulations are performed using the computer model with different doses and dosing intervals.
