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.

Targeting the immunotherapy potential of cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 with new advancements in protein engineering

Drug Target Review

Delivery of therapy is being evaluated through injections of DNA and RNA encoding IL-12, viral vectors, and other exploratory platforms designed to bring IL-12 in close proximity to the tumour and avoid excessive IL-12 in systemic circulation. Some approaches have already reached the clinical trial stage, with others not far behind.
