The future of CNS drug development: signs of real progress

Drug Target Review

Disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease , primary glioblastoma and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) all affect the CNS and are considered fatal, while more common conditions, including depression , strokes and epilepsy , require long-term treatments. This makes it difficult to identify relevant and effective treatments.

New Drug Approvals

It is a small molecule with a dual mechanism of action, acting as both a complete estrogen receptor antagonist and a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD). This means it can block estrogen receptor activity and also degrade the receptor itself, potentially offering a more effective treatment approach. ribociclib).

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. Susceptibility or risk biomarkers can detect the likelihood of a patient developing a disease or medical condition, which is crucial for treatments that are most effective before the onset of symptoms.
