Abstract
Appropriately validated biomarkers are important tools that can benefit drug development and regulatory assessments. For drug development purposes, biomarker development involves identifying a drug development need and context of use (COU) for the biomarker, analytically validating assays, clinically validating the biomarker for the COU, and determining if the biomarker provides benefits over current methods. This perspective provides information on determining a biomarker's COU, fit-for-purpose validation, and regulatory acceptance of biomarkers for drug development.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Science (CTS), an official journal of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, highlights original translational medicine research that helps bridge laboratory discoveries with the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Translational medicine is a multi-faceted discipline with a focus on translational therapeutics. In a broad sense, translational medicine bridges across the discovery, development, regulation, and utilization spectrum. Research may appear as Full Articles, Brief Reports, Commentaries, Phase Forwards (clinical trials), Reviews, or Tutorials. CTS also includes invited didactic content that covers the connections between clinical pharmacology and translational medicine. Best-in-class methodologies and best practices are also welcomed as Tutorials. These additional features provide context for research articles and facilitate understanding for a wide array of individuals interested in clinical and translational science. CTS welcomes high quality, scientifically sound, original manuscripts focused on clinical pharmacology and translational science, including animal, in vitro, in silico, and clinical studies supporting the breadth of drug discovery, development, regulation and clinical use of both traditional drugs and innovative modalities.
