The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

A surrogate endpoint is a marker used in clinical trials as a substitute for a direct clinical outcome. 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).

Pain relief without the risk: why SRP-001 could change everything

Drug Target Review

What sets SRP-001 apart is its central mechanism of action, targeting the periaqueductal gray (PAG) – a key region in the brain responsible for regulating pain signals. South Rampart Pharma has completed its Phase 1 clinical trial, demonstrating strong safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. Unlike the newly approved NaV1.8

Time for change: non-human primates in drug research

Drug Target Review

Their unique suitability has made them valuable for evaluating pharmacokinetics, toxicology and safety in drug candidates before human clinical trials. 3-5 These layers of regulation, while essential for animal welfare, make NHP-based studies complex, expensive and time-consuming. Are we nearing a post-NHP future?

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

LifeSciVC

In the absence of a clinical trial result or FDA label to point to, how does one create the case and target product profile (TPP) around a new target? To impart “gain-of-function” pharmacology, consider inducing or up-regulating expression (e.g., One example of such a genetics exercise is represented in Fig.
