Allometric PK Scaling/Evidence
Method evidence record

Allometric PK Scaling

Allometric scaling is a mathematical approach for predicting human pharmacokinetics from preclinical animal data using body weight relationships. Developed systematically by Mordenti and colleagues in the late 1980s, it enables rational first-in-human dose prediction without assuming species-specific metabolic differences.
