Simulations Plus, Inc. Announces Collaboration with Lonza Group Ag and U.S. Food and Drug Administration to Advance Predictive Frameworks for Complex Oral Drug Products Simulations Plus, Inc. had announced a funded research collaboration with Lonza Group AG and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to develop and validate a mechanistic, predictive framework for assessing the in vivo performance of amorphous solid dispersion drug products. Mechanistic modeling approach and experimental integration designed to improve early risk identification, strengthen regulatory confidence, and expand AI-enabled workflows connecting data to decision-making. The collaboration evaluates whether advanced in vitro dissolution systems—particularly those incorporating dynamic gastrointestinal physiology—combined with mechanistic physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling, can reliably predict key in vivo outcomes, including food effects and the impact of elevated gastric pH conditions. By establishing and validating these predictive capabilities, the collaboration aims to provide a scientific foundation for reducing reliance on certain clinical bioequivalence studies while maintaining the rigor and transparency required by regulators. Lonza will lead experimental work, including in vitro dissolution testing under fasted, fed, and elevated gastric pH conditions using advanced systems such as Controlled Transfer Dissolution, as well as the characterization and, where needed, manufacturing of amorphous solid dispersion formulation variants. Simulations Plus will lead the development and validation of in vitro–in vivo extrapolation frameworks using its DDDPlus® and GastroPlus® platforms, translating experimental data into predictions of in vivo pharmacokinetics and supporting virtual bioequivalence assessments. At the same time, it creates new opportunities to extend these capabilities into grounded AI-enabled workflow environments, where data, mechanistic models, and simulation outputs will be more directly connected. The Company will also contribute to interpretation within a regulatory context, ensuring alignment with evolving expectations for model-informed drug development. This work is supported in part through FDA funding and includes ongoing engagement with FDA scientists to directly align with regulatory priorities to advance model-informed drug development, modernize bioequivalence assessment for complex products, and reduce unnecessary reliance on human studies. By combining regulatory collaboration with open, non-proprietary data and validated methods based on real-world, FDA-approved amorphous solid dispersion products, the initiative is intended to inform future regulatory approaches and support broader adoption of science-based alternatives.

Simulations Plus Inc Announces Completion of 2026 Spring School Global Training Initiative Simulations Plus, Inc. announced the successful completion of its 2026 Spring School, a global training initiative designed to expand access to model-informed drug development (MIDD) and strengthen the scientific foundation of the industry’s future workforce. More than 1,400 scientists from industry, academia, and regulatory agencies from over 65 countries participated in the week-long program, reflecting the high demand for expert-led training as modeling and simulation increasingly become standard for drug development strategy, regulatory engagement, and clinical execution. Held from March 23 to 27, 2026, the Spring School program offered two tracks: GastroPlus Spring School: From PBPK Basics to Biopharmaceutics Applications, and MonolixSuite Spring School: High-Impact Pharmacometrics Case Studies. Both tracks included interactive lectures, hands-on exercises, and live Q&A sessions led by Simulations Plus experts. Simulations Plus has a long-standing commitment to education. In addition to its Spring School, the Company has previously offered Summer and Autumn Schools focused on PK/PD modeling. The most recent Autumn School was the first program to offer a second track focused on PBPK modeling. In addition to these programs, Simulations Plus is widely known for its University+ program, which provides free academic access to modeling and simulation software for thousands of students and educators worldwide. Together, these initiatives form a cornerstone of the Company’s global educational outreach—helping expand the adoption of model-informed approaches and strengthening the pipeline of scientists equipped to apply these methods across the drug development lifecycle.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 12% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change).

Simulations Plus, Inc. Supports New FDA Roadmap for Reducing Animal Testing in Preclinical Safety Studies Simulations Plus, Inc. announced its support of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recently announced roadmap for reducing animal testing through the use of new approach methodologies (NAMs). Simulations Plus has long provided the software and consulting service expertise to successfully implement the FDA roadmap. The new FDA roadmap outlines a path to incorporate methodologies such as organ-on-a-chip, advanced in vitro assays, and computational modeling in preclinical safety studies, with an initial focus on monoclonal antibody (mAb) testing. Simulations Plus software platforms are utilized by mAb-focused researchers for key decision-making, including: GastroPlus accelerates the assessment of dosing and delivery strategies needed to achieve desired clinical endpoints, enabling researchers to reduce--and in some cases, eliminate--animal testing during non-clinical development. In addition, Simulations Plus' software and consulting services are regularly relied upon by researchers to predict efficacy and safety of compounds and prioritize top drug candidates for further development--contributing to a reduction in animal testing and more focused clinical trials. Simulations Plus' PBPK services team delivers high-value scientific expertise to help clients replace or reduce animal testing by developing and validating predictive PBPK models that integrate standard in vitro and in silico data to simulate human and animal pharmacometrics. Many organizations will need more than new modeling tools and in vitro systems. To follow the FDA roadmap, companies not currently incorporating NAMs into their development processes and timelines may also require consulting services, regulatory guidance and training on new tools.

This project aims to use the GastroPlus PBPK platform to investigate the intricate relationship between LAI formulation critical quality attributes (CQAs) and physiological factors at the injection site to accurately predict in vivo drug release and absorption. Dr. Diane Burgess, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Pharmaceutics and Pfizer Distinguished Endowed Chair of Pharmaceutical Technology at the University of Connecticut and her lab will generate in vitro and in vivo data for marketed LAI suspension products using novel discriminatory systems. The scientific team at Simulations Plus will use this data, along with additional inputs from research collaborators, to develop PBPK models and apply them to validate mechanistic IVIVCs. This effort is expected to lay the groundwork for a practical alternative to in vivo studies in establishing bioequivalence (BE) for additional LAI product technologies. FDA scientific and program staff will actively collaborate with the University of Connecticut, Simulations Plus, and select industry partners. Dr. Silva Ryan, with assistance from scientists at Simulations Plus, will coordinate the contract’s modeling and simulation activities. Funding for this collaboration is made possible by the FDA through grant award 1U01FD008304-01.
