The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

As our understanding of the underlying biology of disease grows more sophisticated, emerging therapies operate on increasingly complex biopathological systems and mechanisms. Monitoring biomarkers can help assess changes in a disease, its level of expression, or the extent of its progression.

The future of mental health treatment: Zelquistinel’s role

Drug Target Review

Neuropsychiatric treatment is on the verge of a major transformation. Historically, treatment options have been limited, with patients relying on daily medications that have minimal efficacy and troublesome side effects. The drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) are closely linked.

The future of lymphoma treatment

Drug Target Review

We use hydrophilic linkers, which prevent ADC aggregation and generate highly stable ADCs, in combination with a unique attachment site on the antibody to create ADCs that retain pharmacokinetic properties similar to the original unconjugated antibody. This helps to maximize the targeted payload delivery to tumor cells.

Factors influencing the Central Nervous System (CNS) distribution of the ATR inhibitor elimusertib (BAY1895344): Implications for the treatment of CNS tumors [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a disease of the whole brain, with infiltrative tumor cells protected by an intact BBB. GBM has a poor prognosis despite aggressive treatment, in part due to lack of adequate drug permeability at the BBB. Standard of care GBM therapies include radiation and cytotoxic chemotherapy that lead to DNA damage.

Biochemical assays and deep cyclic inhibition in cancer treatment

Drug Target Review

Molecular-level biochemical assays like transcriptomics, genomics and proteomics have emerged as valuable tools for identifying potential targets in cancer treatment through deep cyclic inhibition (DCI). Importantly, transcriptomics information shows that certain aspects of a disease change the gene expression profile.

STAR-0215 is a Novel, Long-Acting Monoclonal Antibody Inhibitor of Plasma Kallikrein for the Potential Treatment of Hereditary Angioedema [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

A single subcutaneous dose of STAR-0215 ({greater than or equal to} 100 mg) was predicted to be active in patients for 3 months or longer, based on simulations using a minimal physiologically based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) model.

Hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine metabolism and drug-drug interactions [Minireview]

ASPET

Awareness of drug interactions involving opioids is critical for patient treatment as they are common therapeutics used in numerous care settings including both chronic and disease related pain. Opioids are the classical pain treatment for patients who suffer from moderate to severe pain.
