The pharmaceutical industry is inherently risky. To develop a molecule that has a desired, efficacious, but safe, effect in humans is a remarkable achievement considering the numbers. If all the molecules in discovery and development were added together over recent years and compared to the number of successful drug approvals each year, the ratio is (approximately) 10,000:1 [1]. In other words, for every 10,000 molecules entering drug discovery, 9,999 will fail during some stage of the development process and only one will become a successful marketed drug (and even then, it is not certain development costs will be recouped). Couple this extraordinarily high attrition rate with a lengthy, complex and expensive process (average 12 years in development and cost of £1.15 billion [1]) and it is clear that drug development is an industry where the risk of expensive failure is high.
Join this webinar to learn about the FDA’s new drug-drug interaction guidance and how these metabolic risks can contribute to non-approval, delay and withdrawal from the market. The featured speaker will discuss how in vitro assays can be used to identify potential metabolic risks during drug development and how to use this information to de-risk your drug.

Speaker
Guy Webber, BSc (Hons), MSc (Dist), Scientific Manager for In Vitro & DDI Interactions Sciences, Envigo
Guy is an experienced senior DMPK scientist and manager with over 25 years’ experience in pharma and contract research. Currently, he is the Scientific Manager for in vitro and drug-drug interaction sciences in the DMPK department. He manages the In Vitro Sciences and Drug-Drug Interaction Team and future scientific strategy to complement our current comprehensive contract in vitro and DDI services. Guy’s current research and development focus is on investigating risk in pharma development, developing new in vitro DDI assays (UGT enzymes and drug transporters) for regulatory (FDA/EMA/JMHLW-PMDA) compliant DDI assessment of NCEs.
