Addressing Safety Testing of Drug Metabolites (MIST) in Drug Development

Metabolites in safety testing (MIST) has become an integrated part of drug metabolism research in drug development, and is a widely discussed topic within the drug development industry.

Recent guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on safety testing of drug metabolites helps drug developers know when and how to identify and characterize drug metabolites. Identifying and characterizing a drug’s metabolic profile is a necessary step in any preclinical program, critical to assessing human risk before moving to clinical trials.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, Dr. Peter Wang*, Senior Director of WuXi AppTec’s drug metabolism and biotransformation platform in New Jersey, presents the updated guidance for metabolites in safety testing and discusses the importance of MIST and why, when and how to conduct MIST studies.

Topics include:

o Regulatory Guidance
o Why to Conduct MIST in Drug Development
o When to Conduct MIST in Drug Development
o When and How to Conduct Met ID to Address MIST

The development of oligonucleotide drugs has seen remarkable progress, driven by innovations in chemical modifications and delivery systems. These advancements have significantly enhanced drug stability, extended half-life, and improved targeting capabilities, increasing therapeutic efficacy and reducing dosage frequency. However, these benefits come with unique challenges in preclinical bioanalysis, particularly in pharmacokinetics (PK), drug metabolism, and tissue distribution studies.

Diabetes is classified into Type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (TIIDM) based on whether the patient has a deficiency in insulin secretion. TIDM is, on the one hand, characterized by destroying pancreatic beta cells that secrete insulin, mainly during childhood and adolescence. On the other hand, TIIDM is characterized by an imbalance between insulin levels and insulin sensitivity, resulting in persistent hyperglycemia. TIIDM is primarily found in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Globally, 90% of diabetes patients have TIIDM. Whether it is TIDM or TIIDM, if patients do not treat their hyperglycemia through appropriate medical interventions, they may face a series of severe consequences like blindness, kidney failure, or amputation.
