FAQs

Find answers to common question about e-
Campsis and how it can benefit your research.

  • Is there a discount of the pro version for academia and other non-profit organizations?

    We support research at universities and other academic institutions by a significantly reduced subscription fee of 500 Euros per year for up to 5 named users in your research group. No additional discount applies on top of this offer. For teaching we think that the free version should already cover your needs. If not let us know. Click here to order!

  • Is hosting of e-Campsis secure ?

    Yes! We use the shinyapps.io platform by Posit Inc. for hosting e-Campsis. The platform is running on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the us-east-1 region. Access requires authentication of pro and free+ users, with the possibility to use Google or Github credentials including 2FA. The app itself runs in ephemeral containers, which means that no data is stored on the server permanently but only during the length of the session and some short timeout period. Of course, other e-Campsis users have no access to your session data during that time. The pro version allows you to save the state of your session, including the model, parameters and settings, in a project files that you can download to your computer and upload again when you want to continue working on your project. Upload and download is encrypted and secure. You can find more information about Posit´s security measures here and here.

  • Is e-Campsis validated ?

    e-Campsis is being developed with quality in mind through object-oriented programming and automatic unit tests of key functions. This drastically reduces the occurrence of bugs and regressions when the software is updated.

    However, e-Campsis is a graphical user interface that facilitates the set-up of simulations and does not do any calculation itself. The actual “work” is done by the open-source packages campsis, campsismod and others in the background. Simulations of almost all library models with campsis – which uses mrgsolve or rxode2 as the back-end simulation engine – have been successfully verified against simulations with NONMEM. In addition, users of e-Campsis pro will have the option to obtain an qualification suite to ensure accurate functioning of campsis packages in their local environment. Read more about our extensive qualification efforts here.

  • Can I simulate categorical data, like time-to-event models?

    Yes, you can! Have a look here.

  • I need to simulate response-triggered dose-adaptation, is this possible?

    Currently e-Campsis does not support this feature. However, this is totally possible with the so called ‘interruption events’ in campsis. See here for instructions how to do it.

  • I’m used to code my simulations in mrgsolve (rxode2) why should I switch ?

    With Campsis you can do the same things as with these other packages AND MORE:

    • Convenient setup of simulation designs in e-Campsis
    • Live and interactive simulations in team meetings (or do you enjoy coding in front of the clinical lead?)
    • Consistent, human readable and well-structured R-code, facilitating project handover.

    By the way, Calvagone offers a model translation and implementation service. Just get in touch and we will help you in translating your important models and simulation scripts to the Campsis environment.
