Engaging the right partners at the right time is essential to drug developers and the success of their compound. We sat down with Grace Furman, small-molecule toxicology consultant at Paracelsus, Inc., to get her perspective on some of the most pressing challenges and...
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...
The use of Internal Standards (IS) is essential to Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) quantitative bioanalytical methods. Yet, there are no set methodologies or widely adopted criteria among laboratories for establishing and assessing Internal...
The development path for bringing new drugs and therapeutics to market requires extensive planning to meet the short- and long-term needs of products intended for global registration. Because international regulatory agencies may have different requirements for...
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...
Developing biologic solutions is a complex process, and bridging bioanalytical assays from preclinical to phase I clinical trials is a demanding step in advancing your therapeutic. While maneuvering through regulatory requirements and intensive testing, it is easy for...
Navigating the Investigational New Drug (IND) submission process for your drug development program can be a complex process, especially when filing with various regulatory agencies and pursuing multiple markets. However, dual, or globally filing an IND package can...
Preclinical drug-drug interactions (DDI) studies provide preliminary analysis and predict risk potentials for the investigated compounds when co-administrated with other drugs during future in-human trials. Knowledge pertaining to DDI studies is still rapidly...
