Project Optimus Series: Clinical Pharmacology and Project Optimus

Dr. Wael Harb and Pierre-Olivier Tremblay

We continue our Project Optimus series with a focus on clinical pharmacology—a foundational element in redefining dose optimization in oncology drug development. 

Dr. Wael Harb is joined by Pierre-Olivier Tremblay, Vice President of Clinical Pharmacology at Syneos Health, to discuss how model-informed strategies, exposure-response analysis and biomarkers are transforming early phase trials. They examine how tools like PK/PD modeling and tumor dynamics simulations enable a shift from traditional maximum tolerated dose approaches to more patient-centric dosing strategies, and explore how AI, data sharing and regulatory innovation are shaping the future of precision oncology.
