Time for change: non-human primates in drug research

Drug Target Review

Non-human primates (NHPs), such as macaques and cynomolgus monkeys, have long served as a cornerstone in preclinical drug development due to their close genetic, anatomical and physiological resemblance to humans. Conventional models often fail to predict cardiac side effects, especially with biologics.

The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

In a recent survey conducted by ICON, Plc, biomarker selection was identified by 35 percent of respondents as a top challenge among drug developers for phase I trials, second only to navigating regulatory compliance (- 38 percent). To qualify as endpoints, biomarkers used in early phases must be relevant to later stages of drug development.

PureTech’s LYT-100 (Deupirfenidone) Demonstrates Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Proof-of-Concept in Phase 1 Multiple Ascending Dose and Food Effect Study

The Pharma Data

The study demonstrated favorable proof-of-concept for LYT-100’s tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, which will also enable twice-a-day (BID) dosing of LYT-100 in future studies. The therapeutic dose of pirfenidone approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of IPF is 801 mg three times a day.
