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 />
