Searching for Drug Safety, Efficacy,<br />
and Performance: Scientific and<br />
Regulatory Perspectives<br />
New Capabilities <strong>of</strong> Noninvasive<br />
Telemetry Used for Cardiovascular<br />
Respiration and CNS Assessments<br />
Tuesday, March 13, 11:00 AM–12:00 Noon<br />
Presented by:<br />
PointCross Life Sciences<br />
Nonclinical scientists and regulatory reviewers are increasingly<br />
confronted with the need to assess safety, efficacy, and performance<br />
<strong>of</strong> drug candidates across study data, reports, chemical structures,<br />
and other artifacts. This session focuses on practical ways to search<br />
and navigate disparate information from the perspective <strong>of</strong> R&D and<br />
US FDA reviewers.<br />
ADME Studies in Knockout Rats Lacking Key Drug<br />
Transporters<br />
Tuesday, March 13, 12:15 PM–1:15 PM<br />
Presented by:<br />
SAGE Labs<br />
Advances in genetic engineering have enabled the generation <strong>of</strong><br />
targeted knockout rats. We will discuss the technology used to develop<br />
Mdr1a, Bcrp, and Mrp2 drug transporter knockouts. Data from these<br />
models demonstrate they may serve as more relevant and specific tools<br />
for the elucidation <strong>of</strong> compound efflux and DMPK studies.<br />
Dermal Drug Development<br />
Tuesday, March 13, 12:15 PM–1:15 PM<br />
Presented by:<br />
CiToxLAB<br />
The session will present the toxicology studies to support the development<br />
<strong>of</strong> a dermal drug, covering early screening assays, IND-enabling<br />
package, and full development. In addition the session will cover the<br />
skin histology in laboratory animals and issues relating to broken skin<br />
and wound healing.<br />
Tuesday, March 13, 1:30 PM–2:30 PM<br />
Presented by:<br />
emka TECHNOLOGIES INC.<br />
The presentation will explain how the new features <strong>of</strong> emka<br />
TECHNOLOGIES’ latest generation <strong>of</strong> noninvasive telemetry and<br />
associated s<strong>of</strong>tware allow for a significant increase in power and<br />
efficiency <strong>of</strong> preclinical investigations. The focus will be on blood<br />
pressure and respiration analysis, subject-specific QT correction and<br />
arrhythmia detection, and EEG signal collection and use in sleep or<br />
epilepsy studies.<br />
The Key Role <strong>of</strong> Experience in Toxicological<br />
Study Design and Data Interpretation<br />
Tuesday, March 13, 1:30 PM–2:30 PM<br />
Presented by:<br />
RTC, Research <strong>Toxicology</strong> Centre S.p.A.<br />
RTC senior science experts in different areas <strong>of</strong> toxicology will share<br />
some special cases for which practical experience played an important<br />
role during preclinical development. In fact, for an effective translational<br />
approach, it is important to define appropriate study designs<br />
and apply a critical interpretation <strong>of</strong> equivocal results.<br />
Utility <strong>of</strong> Primary Stem Cell<br />
Colony Assays in Drug Development<br />
Tuesday, March 13, 1:30 PM–2:30 PM<br />
Presented by:<br />
STEMCELL Technologies, Inc.<br />
A potential side effect <strong>of</strong> anticancer and some novel inhibitor drugs<br />
is damage to stem cells, including those <strong>of</strong> the hematopoietic (blood)<br />
system. Impairment <strong>of</strong> proliferation and differentiation can result in<br />
neutropenia, anemia, or thrombocytopenia. This talk outlines the<br />
value <strong>of</strong> hematopoietic in vitro clonogenic assays for prediction <strong>of</strong><br />
hematotoxicity.<br />
