Evaluation of Systemic and Brain Pharmacokinetic Parameters for Repurposing Metformin Using Intravenous Bolus Administration [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

This study highlights these PK parameters and the importance of using pharmacologically relevant pre-clinical doses to study pharmacodynamics (PD) in stroke and related neurodegenerative diseases. We anticipate further investigations focusing on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) in disease conditions, such as stroke.

Biomarker identification in the realm of rare diseases

Drug Target Review

Why are biomarkers particularly critical in the context of rare diseases? Developing novel therapeutic approaches for rare diseases poses inherent challenges due to the limited populations available for testing. How do AI-enhanced approaches accelerate the drug development process for rare diseases?

Antibody Drug Conjugates: windows of opportunity

Drug Target Review

In practice, some patients may be left managing a syndrome associated with the therapy along with the disease. In the ADC trial, the objective response rate (ORR) – defined as the percentage of patients whose disease decreased or disappears – was 42 percent whilst the ORR in the small molecule trial was 12.5
