Additionally, thorough dose-exposure-response analyses integrated observed data and model-based simulations of PK, key efficacy endpoints, and safety events to support the evaluation of the target doses 0.75 mg QW, 1.5 mg QW, and 1.5 mg Q2W in dose expansion. This work provides the framework for which modeling and simulations can be used to guide dose selection for dose expansion at an early stage of development adhering to the recent principles of Project Optimus.
