The Novel GlycoPEGylated FGF21 Analog Pegozafermin Activates Human FGF Receptors and Improves Metabolic and Liver Outcomes in Diabetic Monkeys and Healthy Human Volunteers [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

In cell-based assays, pegozafermin had a similar receptor engagement profile as native FGF21, with approximately 8-fold higher potency at FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1). Pharmacokinetic half-lives ranged from 55 to 100 hours over the clinically relevant dose range, consistent with the expected half-life extension by glycoPEGylation.

Separating the Hype from the Hyperbole Surrounding FDORA’s Alternatives to Animal Testing under the FD&C Act

FDA Law Blog: Drug Discovery

Since 1962, the FD&C Act has authorized FDA to require that sponsors of clinical trials submit data from “preclinical tests (including tests on animals)” in order to demonstrate that their drug is safe enough to advance to testing in humans. FDORA § 3209(a)(2). 42 U.S.C. § 262(k)(2)(A)(i)(I).

Leadeth me unto Truth and delivereth me from those who have already found it

Molecular Design

These points do need be stressed given the expanding range of modalities being exploited by drug designers and the increasing use of AI/ML in drug design. Overcoming these challenges will amplify the impact of structural biology on drug discovery.
