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). Biomarkers can play a crucial role throughout clinical development, especially in early phases.

Regulatory Guidance for Oligonucleotide Bioanalysis in Drug Development

Alta Sciences

Beyond bioanalysis, understanding the mechanism of action is equally important, as different classes of oligonucleotidessuch as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs)interact with mRNA in distinct ways to regulate gene expression. Regulatory Considerations for Oligonucleotide Drug Development and Safety In 2024, the U.S.

Deconstructing the Diligence Process: An Approach to Vetting New Product Theses

LifeSciVC

There is a continuum of evidence for a given target – at one end are novel targets with some evidence of importance in disease, and at the other end are “de-risked” targets where the biology is precedented with an approved product or late-stage clinical asset(s). One example of such a genetics exercise is represented in Fig.

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

Drug Target Review

Clinical development of IL-18 therapies has been curtailed, however, by the protein’s lack of efficacy. This suppressive mechanism involves a negative regulator – a protein called IL-18BP or IL-18 binding protein, that works as a “decoy receptor” by binding to IL-18 and preventing it from binding to its functional receptor.

The future of mental health treatment: Zelquistinel’s role

Drug Target Review

Neuropsychiatric disorders, affecting millions worldwide, disrupt the brain’s intricate processes of mood regulation, cognition and behaviour. The drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) are closely linked. Neuropsychiatric treatment is on the verge of a major transformation.

The essential role of recombinant phage display antibody libraries

Drug Target Review

3 This change signals a major shift away from animal use in drug safety regulation and encourages the use of alternative methods like organ-on-chip or other animal-free technologies. Generation by phage display and characterization of drug-target complex-specific antibodies for pharmacokinetic analysis of biotherapeutics.
