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.

Ensuring drug product integrity: The crucial role of stability testing

Ensuring the medications we rely on are safe and effective from the moment they leave the manufacturer to when they reach the patient involves rigorous stability testing, a critical process that safeguards drug product integrity under diverse environmental conditions. This testing is crucial in biopharmaceutical development to maintain the safety, efficacy, and quality of drug products (DP) and drug substances (DS). It accounts for potential degradation and the stability of different formulations and packaging configurations, providing data to inform labeling, storage, transport, and handling guidelines.
