Translational physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for ocular disposition of monoclonal antibodies.

We have previously published a PBPK model comprising the ocular compartment to characterize the disposition of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in rabbits. While rabbits are commonly used preclinical species in ocular research, non-human primates (NHPs) have the most phylogenetic resemblance to humans including the presence of macula in the eyes as well as higher sequence homology. However, their use in ocular research is limited due to the strict ethical guidelines.
