RADNOR, Pa., Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Certara, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERT), a global leader in model-informed drug development, today announced the launch of Phoenix™ version 8.5. Phoenix is the pharmaceutical industry's gold standard in pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) and toxicokinetic modeling and simulation software. The Phoenix Platform is used by more than 75 of the top 100 pharmaceutical companies worldwide. Eleven regulatory agencies, including the U.S. FDA, Japan PMDA, and China NMPA, rely on Phoenix to evaluate life-saving drug candidates. Version 8.5 is the latest release from Certara’s Phoenix Platform, available as a hosted solution for maximum performance and lower total cost of ownership.
Today, 88% of new medicines that enter clinical trials fail, indicating a need for improved processes. Certara’s Phoenix platform expedites everything from data preparation to report generation – a time-consuming process that drug developers rely on.
