Abstract

Biomarkers are increasingly used in drug development to aid scientific and clinical decisions regarding the progress of candidate and marketed therapeutics. Biomarkers can improve the understanding of diseases as well as therapeutic and off-target effects of drugs. Early implementation of biomarker strategies thus promises to reduce costs and time-to-market as drugs proceed through increasingly costly and complex clinical development programs. The 2003 American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences/Clinical Ligand Assay Society Biomarkers Workshop (Salt Lake City, UT, USA, October 24-25, 2003) addressed key issues in biomarker research, with an emphasis on the validation and implementation of biochemical biomarker assays, covering from preclinical discovery of efficacy and toxicity biomarkers through clinical and postmarketing implementation. This summary report of the workshop focuses on the major issues discussed during presentations and open forums and noted consensus achieved amon
