Imaging Biomarkers for Measuring Pharmacodynamic Effects of CNS Drugs

Presenter: EUGENII (ILAN) RABINER, FCPYSCH SA | EVP Head of Translational Imaging, Invicro

Quantitative information on the so called “three pillars of drug survival” – drug tissue distribution, drug target engagement and post-target pharmacodynamics effects – provides critical information used to optimize dose selection for proof-of-concept studies and kill compounds that will not succeed clinically.  While CNS imaging biomarkers have become indispensable in gaining information on the first two pillars, the options for obtaining information on pharmacodynamics, “post-target” effects are more limited. Recent developments provide new opportunities for obtaining robust information on pharmacodynamics effects of a novel drug, using imaging biomarkers. This webinar will review the existing options for such imaging biomarkers.
