Predictive Pharmacology Module
• Why “Predictive Pharmacology”?– Pharmacology: studies the effects of drug activity on biological systems– Predictive Pharmacology attempts to elucidate the behavior of bioactive
compounds — behavior not originally considered by the inventor
• Benefits of Predictive Pharmacology– Rapidly evolving as a key component for increasing drug R&D
productivity by its ability to:• Identify potential new uses for drugs launched or under active
development• Generate new leads faster• Create drug discovery hypotheses

What Is a Biomarker?
• Biomarker: A characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.
From: Biomarkers Definitions Working Group. Biomarkers and surrogate endpoints: Preferred definitions and conceptual framework.

Why Are Biomarkers Important?
• Biomarkers constitute an essential piece in the landscape of modern medicine and may be critical for:
– Validating proof of concept in animal models
– Facilitating early diagnosis and selection for therapy
– Staging disease
– Defining individualized response to drug treatment
– Measuring disease prognosis
– Determining early efficacy
– Monitoring safety
