The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

As our understanding of the underlying biology of disease grows more sophisticated, emerging therapies operate on increasingly complex biopathological systems and mechanisms. Safety biomarkers account for adverse effects of a therapy under study. There are several types of biomarkers to consider.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

Most targeted cancer therapies used today operate by inhibiting targets along well-known oncogenic signalling cascades. The reactivation of oncogenic signalling upstream or downstream of the driving oncogene is a well-studied source of resistance to targeted cancer therapies.
