Ensure a Successful Clinical Translation with DMPK Strategies

DMPK – A Key Step, Every Step of the Way

Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) is a crucial component in the success of your drug development – at every stage, from discovery to preclinical to clinical.

DMPK studies set basic expectations of drug behavior, which is necessary in order to move your current or upcoming project to first-in-human trials. Tune in to this webinar to get information and strategies to help you more quickly and efficiently do just that.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, Dr. Jing Jin*, head of WuXi AppTec’s DMPK Study Director team, discusses the DMPK screening roadmap, considerations when moving into clinical stages, strategies for the development of novel therapeutics, and what a successful IND application should include – with tips on what regulatory agencies may look for in future applications.

These topics will include the specifics of:

  • Desired dose regimen (dose level and frequency)
  • Balanced disposition pathways
  • No human-specific metabolites
  • Low drug-drug interaction potential
  • Minimal risk of forming reactive metabolites

Move your project forward faster.

*Dr. Jin Jing leads the DMPK Study Director Team at WuXi AppTec’s Shanghai, China location. With more than a decade of experience, Dr. Jin has applied his expertise in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics at WuXi AppTec since 2016. Before joining the company, he was an investigator of Clinical Pharmacology at Novartis. Dr. Jin provides a wealth of knowledge about the DMPK drug development journey – from discovery to clinical, and is a frequent speaker on the subject. He received his B.S. in Biochemistry from Nanjing University and his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Vanderbilt University.

Making the Most of the Golden Age of Small-Molecule Oncology Drugs

Many of humanity’s most impactful pharmaceuticals, including penicillin and aspirin, are small-molecule drugs. Over time, the focus of research has shifted toward biologics, also known as large-molecule drugs. In 2016, for example, eight of the 10 best-selling drugs in the world were biologics. However, small-molecule drugs are now making a comeback as research advances and technology improves. One key area where small-molecule drugs are making the most significant impact is oncology.

Evaluation of Immunogenicity for Oligonucleotide Drugs

Drug research and development has evolved from focusing only on small molecule drugs into an era of advanced therapeutics. Among the pathogenic proteins related to human diseases, more than 80% belong to non-druggable targets. Meanwhile, most existing druggable targets are restricted by their structure and are difficult to develop.
