Drug Target Review

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024

The current landscape of protein drug development is characterised by accelerated timelines where new drugs are approved in months rather than years. Hence, in many cases an earlier IND may be prevented by the timely provision of representative Drug Substance (DS) to execute such toxicology studies.

In drug development, biochemical assays might be used to determine a product’s binding affinity to a target receptor of interest, along with the strength, stability and duration of the target-ligand complex after the product binds to the receptor. The new draft guidance can be broken into three main parts.

Unlike almost every other cell type (except B cells), T cells do not have the exact same chromosomal DNA sequences as other cells in the body. In previous decades, isolation, sequencing and characterisation of DNA encoding a specific TCR was laborious and technically challenging. References Robinson R, McMurran C, McCully M, Cole D.

Given the relatively small populations affected by any one rare disease or condition, a pharmaceutical company developing an orphan drug may reasonably expect the final approved drug to generate relatively small sales (when compared with the drug development costs) and consequently incur a financial loss.

Why is detecting cancers via liquid biopsy before they become visible on imaging important for drug development, not just diagnostics? We believe liquid biopsy is very helpful for oncology drug development because the reduction and clearance of circulating DNA occurs quickly before radiographic imaging is available.

I sequenced the complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding RAS GTPase Activating Protein, a protein known that regulates cell growth, differentiation and survival of cells; mutations in these proteins are linked to cancer. My proudest achievement is my leadership journey building legacy organisations, processes and tools in clinical operations.
