The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a validated surrogate endpoint for the reduction of microvascular complications associated with diabetes mellitus; reduced HIV-RNA levels serve as an endpoint for HIV disease control; and a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is used as an endpoint indicating lower likelihood of cardiovascular events.

Drug-induced long QT syndrome: Concept and non-clinical models for predicting the onset of drug-induced torsade de pointes in patients in compliance with ICH E14/S7B guidance [Minireview]

ASPET

This review details the onset mechanisms of drug-induced TdP, including I Kr inhibition, pharmacokinetic factors, autonomic regulation and reduced repolarization reserve. It also explores the utility of proarrhythmic surrogate markers (J-T peak , T peak -T end and terminal repolarization period) besides QT interval.
