Application Clinical data used for model development, parameter estimation, verification Data for model validation
Absorption: modified release formulation development Model built with IR human PK in the fed and fasted states Model simulations of CR validated in monkey
Exposure prediction in a target population

PK of the base population from a SAD and a MAD

ADME mass balance, fm, fm,CYP

fu in both the base and target population

Target population is qualified
