InSysBio continues to move forward in COVID-19 QSP model development. Its aim is to describe virus and host cell life cycles, innate and adoptive immune response and possible therapeutic treatments.

Model description:

In addition to sub-model describing virus and pneumocyte life cycles InSysBio team has constructed a sub-model describing life cycle of macrophages. Now we present the scheme of the sub-model and quality of calibration against in vivo baseline data. The sub-model describes:

  • influx of monocytes (PBM) from bone marrow regulated by GMCSF,
  • PBM migration to lung tissue stimulated by CCL2, CXCL10 and TGFb,
  • PBM polarization to M1/M2 macrophages regulated by Antigen, IFNg, IL10, TGFb, IL4 and IL13,
  • IL1b, IL6, IL10, IL12, IL23, TNFa, TGFb, CXCL10 and CCL2 production by the PBM and macrophages,
  • cytokine/chemokine distribution between lung tissue, plasma and lymph node,
  • cytokine chemokine degradation.

The model is preliminary calibrated against available in vitro data describing regulatory effects of cytokines/chemokines on cell dynamics and then finally calibrated against in vivo baseline data measured for healthy subjects.

1. 01 Oct 2018 12:23 InSysBio Announces Continuation of Collaboration with MedImmune for Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Modeling in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus InSysBio, a pioneer in Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP), modeling and simulation for drug development, announced today an extension of a collaboration with MedImmune, the global biologics research and development arm of AstraZeneca, for QSP modeling in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The goal is to support the clinical development of anifrolumab, an investigational monoclonal antibody against the type I interferon receptor, by modeling the contributions of key cell types involved in the pathophysiology of lupus that are associated with the type I interferon dysregulation commonly seen with the disease.
