The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

For example, transcriptomic processes are showing the potential to identify and track failures in gene expression and gene regulation of amyloid and tau-related biomarkers, understood as precursors to the onset of Alzheimers disease (AD). For use as endpoints, biomarkers must be correlated to a valid clinical outcome.

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

Pharmacokinetic half-lives ranged from 55 to 100 hours over the clinically relevant dose range, consistent with the expected half-life extension by glycoPEGylation. Significance Statement Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a stress-inducible hormone that has important roles in regulating energy balance and glucose and lipid homeostasis.

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.

New Alternative Methodologies and Their Applications in Drug Discovery and Development

biobide

However, reports drawn up as recently as June 2023 still emphasize the necessity of animal testing at some point as we are still far from understanding and reproducing all the variables present in a whole organism in an in vitro or in silico model.

Merck Presents New Data from Ongoing Phase 2a Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Investigational, Once-Monthly, Oral Islatravir for HIV-1 Prevention at IAS 2021

The Pharma Data

These data were shared as a late-breaking oral presentation during the virtual 11 th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2021) and are a follow-up to the interim analysis that was presented earlier this year at the virtual 2021 HIV Research for Prevention Conference (HIVR4P 2021).

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

BRAF and downstream mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) inhibitors are combined to treat BRAF-mutated melanoma, for example. 5 Here, the original oncogene is still present but the transdifferentiated cancer cells are less dependent on it.
