Theme: "Ascending New Heights: Envisioning The Future Landscape of Quantitative Pharmacology”

Traditionally, quantitative pharmacology is primarily about interpretation and interpolation of clinical study data, as well as the optimization of clinical trial designs. While these remain core for quantitative pharmacology, the traditional scope has broadened as we move into a new era of exciting innovations and expanded applications. With groundbreaking methodologies and emerging technologies, we now have many tools to generate new insights by leveraging real-world data. There are many new opportunities, but a few examples could include simulation of clinical trials based on real-world data, utilization of digital twins to predict clinical outcomes, and use of virtual control arms for rare diseases or pediatric studies.

This year’s theme reflects our shared aspiration to embrace emerging technologies as a community: ascending to new heights by generating novel solutions, integrating advanced methodologies and technologies, expanding scientific horizons, and navigating complex regulatory landscapes, all with the goal of improving patient care. It is this leap forward that we wish to celebrate at ACoP 2025.
