Using imaging biomarkers to accelerate drug development and clinical trials

Homer H. Pien, Alan J. Fischman, James H. Thrall and A. Gregory Sorensen
Drug Discovery Today

There is increasing evidence that human medical imaging can help answer key questions that arise during the drug development process. Imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and positron emission tomography can offer significant insights into the bioactivity, pharmacokinetics and dosing of drugs, in addition to supporting registration applications...

Molecular biomarkers in drug development

David A. Lewin and Michael P. Weiner
Drug Discovery Today

Arguably, the most immediately promising reverberation of the genomics era has been the application of biomarkers to drug development. The promise of applying biomarkers to early drug development is that they might aid in preclinical and early clinical decisions such as dose ranging, definition of treatment regimen, or even a preview of efficacy...


Integrating disease knowledge and technology to deliver protein targets and biomarkers into drug discovery projects

Thomas E. Fehniger, Thomas Laurell and György Marko-Varga
Drug Discovery Today: Technologies

Biomarker discovery is dependent upon two disciplines: the field of clinical bioanalysis linked to disease aetiology and the application of high level technology platforms for identifying proteins/peptides in complex samples...
