How Companies Can Make the Most of Their Early Drug Development Stage

Background




















Companies large and small face enormous risks during the crucial early drug development stages. According to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies spent $10.5 billion or 22% of total annual R&D costs on non-clinical research in 2011 — more than the total amount spent on Phase I and II activity combined.i While the failure rate tends to diff er for small molecules and biologics, the majority of development eff orts fail, with the rate generally falling between 60 and 90%. With the new technologies and services available to Sponsors, the traditional path to drug development is no longer the best solution. With the right planning and tools, the studies conducted in the preclinical and early clinical stages can lay a foundation that will reduce risk and maximize the investment in future stages.

Focus on De-Risking a Molecule: The Rise of Translational Medicine

Facing rising R&D costs and increasing pressure to appease investors, companies must discover early on if a potential drug is too risky to pursue. There are many risks in early drug development, which can be grouped into three main categories: safety, efficacy, and time to market. To mitigate the risk in the latter category, companies must move with insightful speed — performing the right studies to obtain the best data — to stay ahead of competitors. The knowledge that a potential drug carries too much risk can save millions, and it also builds trust with stakeholders who see that there are sound decision-making processes in place, and that resources are being carefully allocated.

Principles of nanoparticle design for overcoming biological barriers to drug delivery

Nanoparticle flow, margination and adhesive properties in blood vessels are dependent on particle size and geometry.
Biological barriers to drug transport prevent successful accumulation of nanotherapeutics specifically at diseased sites, limiting efficacious responses in disease processes ranging from cancer to inflammation. Although substantial research efforts have aimed to incorporate multiple functionalities and moieties within the overall nanoparticle design, many of these strategies fail to adequately address these barriers. Obstacles, such as nonspecific distribution and inadequate accumulation of therapeutics, remain formidable challenges to drug developers. A reimagining of conventional nanoparticles is needed to successfully negotiate these impediments to drug delivery. Site-specific delivery of therapeutics will remain a distant reality unless nanocarrier design takes into account the majority, if not all, of the biological barriers that a particle encounters upon intravenous administration. By successively addressing each of these barriers, innovative design features can be rationally incorporated that will create a new generation of nanotherapeutics, realizing a paradigmatic shift in nanoparticle-based drug delivery.

Pharmacovigilance: A lucrative career option in INDIA for Bio-Science, Pharma, Medical & Para Medical Graduates & Post Graduates


India has become a major hub for clinical trials. Despite this, several problems related to availability of drugs, distribution, accessibility and consumption still remain at large. 

Pharmacovigilance is the discipline which takes care of such aspects and is concerned with identifying, validating, quantifying and evaluating adverse reactions associated with the use of drugs thereby improving the safety of medicines in use. 

Bio-Science, Pharma, Medical & Para Medical Graduates & Post Graduates can enter into these sector a career option. All major CRO, Bio-pharma organization, Medical Device companies, KPO, BPO and IT Life Science companies is on the move of hiring knowledgable anad certified pharmacovigilance candidates.

Now here, any aspirant who wants to join in this industry should focus in two basic issues . The first point is, developing a strong pharmacovigilance knowledge base and the second one is preparing him or herself for interview.

While making a choice of developing knowledge development, as a candidate, you need to do a certificate program in pharmacovigilance. There is no mandetory need of university approved certification or duration of program as a key factory for hiring terms & condition from leading organization, but all the hiring organization typically looks into the quality of knowledge base that a candidate have with them, so that they can use the knowledge to implement into the project management aspects directly.

So, aspirants should focus on individual goal about the learning process and content of the syllabus rather than large amount course fee, brand institutions, good infrastructure and campus etc. The chance of getting jobs after completion of the program is totally depends on the aspirants rather than the institute, institute can help the aspirants by providing best possible knowledge base and maximizing the interviewing opportunity, but the ultimate work is to perform well on the day of interview by the candidate, there is no shortcut.

Current trend is that, while selecting an institute for pharmacovigilance certification much importance are given on the content of the program than anything else. Following are some basic outline of any pharmacovigilance certification program which can help you to get jobs.  It should include like, basic principles of pharmacovigilance and clinical research, regulatory affairs environment FDA, CDSCO, EMA, management of pharmacovigilance data, risk management in pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology, may more etc. The objective should be to develop candidates who are experts at monitoring the adverse effects of the drugs which have been released in the market. Their goal should be to establish safety of the drug and oversee the well-being of the consumers.

Pharmacovigilance is still in its infancy in India, therefore higher standards of pharmacovigilance are warranted to be at par with the rest of the world in terms of not only compliance to regulations but also to implement quality systems in all pharmaceutical companies especially the generic companies which manufacture bulk drugs that are marketed in India and the Western countries. 

There is no shortage of job opportunities in this field as good pharmacovigilance practice makes for good business sense. Students of this field can get jobs in all leading CRO, Bio-Pharma organization, Medical Device companies, KPO, BPO and IT Life Science companies with attractive salaries with robust increments, world class learning and global exposure.

Redesigning a chemical library to bolster high-quality hit series identification

Well-designed chemical libraries are a critical tool in the race for drug-discovery in an intensely competitive pharmaceutical marketplace. Success in early stages of the drug-discovery process depends on access to quality sample libraries that balance the requirements for chemical diversity and redundancy. Coupled with accurate, rapid and cost-effective HTS technologies and instrumentation, the AMRI Synthetic Compound Collection (ASCC) will improve the chances of identifying high quality hit series through HTS.
As the costs of drug development rise, pharmaceutical companies continue to require high-quality data and cost-effective methods starting with the earliest stages of drug discovery. High-throughput screening (HTS) remains a powerful tool in early-stage research, which allows project teams to identify hits against a target of interest1 . Yet screening of compound libraries remains an expensive process. In order to provide customers with the best chance to identify valid hits and produce successful hit-to-lead investigations, attractive compound libraries need to incorporate collections of diverse compounds that contain clusters of structurally similar analogs. This design approach needs to be achieved while carefully selecting compounds within various physical and chemical property constraints. Well-designed chemical libraries will have greater potential to meaningfully correlate chemical structure of a hit with interactions at its intended target2 . A high quality library in turn increases confidence in the quality of compounds identified as hits.
Much effort in the past decade has been directed to making the HTS process more efficient3 . These efforts include developments focused on improvement to instrumentation as well as screening processes. Screening techniques have also evolved in order to screen libraries of various sizes from a few hundred fragments to large corporate libraries with millions of samples. Parallel to these efforts, chemoinformatics tools have become powerful aids in designing better libraries and evaluating screening results in the context of chemical property as well as structural content of the samples represented in a library4 . Presented here is the selection of an HTS library of intermediate size. To build this quality library, compounds were selected by filtering out those with structural features related to poor assay outcome such as aggregation, reactivity or lack of target specificity and filtering compounds based on desirable ranges of properties such as logP5 . Additionally, compounds were selected with an eye towards chemical diversity and inclusion of small sets of analogs. The resulting library is also analyzed to show good coverage of shape and biological space. All these features have been implicated in positive outcomes of HTS campaigns: The generation of good chemical starting points for hit-to-lead programs
