PThese volumes are designed to be the most complete guide to pharmacokinetics (PK) and its role in drug development. They fill a gap between the academic science and the practical application of that knowledge in drug development. Volume 1 discusses the role that PK plays in selected clinical study designs. Volume 2 details the key regulatory and development paradigms in which PK supplements decision-making during drug development./P

Brings together academic science and the practical application of knowledge in drug development
