Simulations Plus (NASDAQ: SLP) has published simulation results utilizing its DILIsym software, featured in Toxicological Sciences. These results illustrate the liver safety differences between small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists, addressing past failures in this drug class like telcagepant. DILIsym has effectively predicted the safety of newer candidates, contributing to the FDA approval of rimegepant in 2021. This research, co-authored by Jeffrey Woodhead, reinforces DILIsym's role in guiding drug development with an emphasis on safety.

Simulations Plus (NASDAQ: SLP) has released version 10.4 of its flagship ADMET Predictor machine learning platform, enhancing capabilities for pharmaceutical modeling. Key features include new 3D conformer generation, expanded mouse models for the HTPK Simulation Module, and improved Ames mutagenicity models for reliability. The enhancements are aimed at improving drug discovery processes. The company is focused on advancing artificial intelligence in drug design and has noted increased adoption of its technologies in recent years.

Simulations Plus has announced the renewal of its DILIsym software licenses by the FDA, ensuring uninterrupted access for FDA employees across all divisions. This one-year renewal reflects the FDA's continued reliance on DILIsym for evaluating drug-induced liver injury (DILI) risks, which is critical for drug development decisions. The software aids in predicting DILI risks and identifying patient subgroups vulnerable to such injuries, thereby mitigating financial losses from failed clinical trials.

Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLP) announced the completion of a project funded by the U.S. FDA and the Center for Research on Complex Generics. The collaboration, involving the Lixoft and Cognigen divisions, aims to demonstrate bioequivalence for long-acting injectables (LAI) using a novel model-integrated design. This method could alleviate the challenges of low power and prolonged duration in bioequivalence trials. The results were presented at an FDA workshop on Nov. 30, 2021.

Simulations Plus (Nasdaq: SLP) has announced a funded partnership with a major pharmaceutical company to enhance mechanistic dissolution models for injectable formulations using their DDDPlus™ software.
