A Guide to In Vitro ADME Testing in Drug Development

A Guide to In Vitro ADME Testing in Drug Development

Understanding the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) properties of a compound is critical to drug discovery and development. In this short guide, we look at how in vitro ADME testing works and why it is important. To understand in vitro ADME...

Maximizing the Efficiency of Ocular Gene Therapies

Maximizing the Efficiency of Ocular Gene Therapies

Gene therapy is an exciting—and relatively new—area of medicine. Treatments were first introduced in the 1970s, but after decades of methodology challenges and scientific frustration, the concept of altering genes to address “untreatable” viruses and diseases gained...

The Vital Role Of Toxicity Studies In Evaluating New Drugs

The Vital Role Of Toxicity Studies In Evaluating New Drugs

The evaluation of toxicity in a new drug is a very thorough process, so that by the end of the testing, scientists will have compiled all the necessary data to understand the full safety profile of the potential new drug. During that nonclinical evaluation, there are...

Navigating 505(b)(1), 505(b)(2) and 505(j) Drug Approval Pathways

Navigating 505(b)(1), 505(b)(2) and 505(j) Drug Approval Pathways

Introducing new drug candidates to preclinical testing is a complex and time-consuming endeavor. It can cost developers more than $1 billion and take a decade to bring a new drug to market. Success rates vary depending on therapeutic area, but a recent study from MIT...

The Complex Process of Developing a Living Protocol

The Complex Process of Developing a Living Protocol

There are times in the laboratory when experienced scientists may question the direction in a protocol. Their experience, having worked on so many studies, may tempt them to consider conducting the testing a little differently than the directions provided to them. If...
