PSP December 2025: Applications and Innovations in Model-Based Meta-Analysis (MBMA)
CPT: Pharmacometrics and Systems Pharmacology (
PSP) inviting submissions for a special mini-themed issue on Applications and Innovations in Model-Based Meta-Analysis (MBMA) scheduled for publication in December 2025. It is therefore essential to underscore the utilization of MBMA in general, as publications of MBMA are relatively scarce compared to, e.g., traditional pairwise meta-analysis or comparative network meta-analysis. This proposal calls for use cases of MBMA and exploration into future directions of MBMA from the broader clinical pharmacology community. Original research articles are encouraged. Submissions may also include reviews/mini-reviews, tutorials, position/white papers, PSP case reports, and perspectives from regulatory agencies, academia, societies, and industry.
