Upcoming Xtalks Webinar: How the New FDA Drug-Drug Interaction Guidance Fits Within the Drug Development De-Risking Model
Pharmaceutical development is inherently risky. To develop a molecule that has a desired, efficacious, but safe, effect in humans is a remarkable achievement considering the statistics.
TORONTO, July 11, 2018 (Newswire.com) - If all the molecules in discovery and development were added together over recent years and compared to the number of successful drug approvals each year, the ratio is (approximately) 10,000:1. [1] In other words, for every 10,000 molecules entering drug discovery, only one will become a successful marketed drug (and even then, it is not certain development costs will be recouped). Couple this extraordinarily high attrition rate with a lengthy, complex and expensive process (average 12 years in development and cost of £1.15 billion [1]) and it is clear that drug development is an industry where the risk of expensive failure is high.
Join this live webinar on Wednesday, July 25, 2018, at 11 a.m. EDT (4 p.m. BST/UK) to learn about the FDA’s new drug-drug interaction guidance and how these metabolic risks can contribute to non-approval, delay and withdrawal from the market.
Guy Webber, BSc (Hons), MSc (Dist), Scientific Manager for In Vitro & DDI Interactions Sciences at Envigo, will discuss how in vitro assays can be used to identify potential metabolic risks during drug development and how to use this information to de-risk your drug.
