Summary of the presentation:

Current regulatory guidances use in vitro transporter inhibition data to determine if clinical DDI trials are necessary. In order to reduce the number of false negatives, the approaches are conservative, which result in an increased number of clinical DDI trials. The endogenous transporter DDI biomarkers are increasingly used to resolve the limitations in using in vitro data to trigger clinical DDI trials. Since coproporphyrin-I and III were discovered as endogenous biomarkers for OATP1B inhibition, the specificity, sensitivity and analytical perspectives of the biomarkers have been well-characterized. Additionally, several endogenous metabolites are recently identified to potentially serve as DDI markers for renal transporters. The current presentation will review the emerging transporter DDI biomarkers and propose how these endogenous biomarkers can be used to assess the DDI liability for investigational drugs.
