(SC8) MODELS FOR EVALUATING DRUG-DRUG INTERACTION POTENTIAL IN PRECLINICAL DEVELOPMENT

2:30 From Benchtop to Regulatory Guidance: Effective Strategies to Identify Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) Liability
Joseph Ware, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Late Stage PK/PD, Genentech, Inc.
The ability to move a test compound rapidly into the clinic and to plan effectively for its clinical development will in part depend on effective preclinical assessments of the interactions of drug candidates with drug metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters. The following presentation will highlight:

    • An overview of clinically significant cytochrome P450-mediated DDIs

    • An introduction to an integrated-approach of transporter biology within drug discovery and development

    • What similarities and differences exist between strategies to identify and context CYP-mediated DDIs versus transporter-mediated DDIs?
