    Abstract Three sickle cell disease (SCD) treatment strategies, stabilizing oxygenated hemoglobin (oxyHb), lowering 2,3-BPG, and inducing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression aim to prevent red blood cell (RBC) sickling by reducing tense-state sickle hemoglobin that contributes to polymer formation. Induction of 30% HbF is seen as the gold standard because 30% endogenous expression is associated with a lack of symptoms. However, the level of intervention required to achieve equivalent polymerization protection by the other strategies is uncertain, and there is little understanding of how these approaches could work in combination. We sought to develop an oxygen saturation model that could assess polymerization protection of all three approaches alone or in combination by extending the Monod-Wymann-Changeux model to include additional mechanisms. Applying the model to monotherapies suggests 51% sickle hemoglobin (HbS) occupancy with an oxyHb stabilizer or lowering RBC 2,3 BPG concentrations to 1.8 mM would produce comparable polymerization protection as 30% HbF. The model predictions are consistent with observed clinical response to the oxyHb stabilizer voxelotor and the 2,3-BPG reducer etavopivat. The model also suggests combination therapy will have added benefit in the case of dose limitations, as is the case for voxelotor, which the model predicts could be combined with 20% HbF or 2,3-BPG reduction to 3.75 mM to reach equivalent protection as 30% HbF. The proposed model represents a unified framework that is useful in supporting decisions in preclinical and early clinical development and capable of evolving with clinical experience to gain new and increasingly confident insights into treatment strategies for SCD.

    Abstract Background: Tafamidis inhibits progression of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) by binding TTR tetramer and inhibiting dissociation to monomers capable of denaturation and deposition in cardiac tissue. While the phase 3 ATTR-ACT trial demonstrated the efficacy of tafamidis, the degree to which the approved dose captures the full potential of the mechanism has yet to be assessed.
    Methods: We developed a model of dynamic TTR concentrations in plasma to relate TTR occupancy by tafamidis to TTR stabilisation. We then developed population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic models to characterise the relationship between stabilisation and measures of disease progression.
    Results: Modelling individual patient data of tafamidis exposure and increased plasma TTR confirmed that single-site binding provides complete tetramer stabilisation
    Conclusions: These findings support the value of TTR stabilisation as a clinically beneficial treatment option in ATTR-CM and the ability of tafamidis to realise nearly the full therapeutic benefit of this mechanism.

    Abstract Successful small-molecule drug design requires a molecular target with inherent therapeutic potential and a molecule with the right properties to unlock its potential. Present-day drug design strategies have evolved to leave little room for improvement in drug-like properties. As a result, inadequate safety or efficacy associated with molecular targets now constitutes the primary cause of attrition in preclinical development through Phase II. This finding has led to a deeper focus on target selection. In this current reality, design tactics that enable rapid identification of risk-balanced clinical candidates, translation of clinical experience into meaningful differentiation strategies, and expansion of the druggable proteome represent significant levers by which drug designers can accelerate the discovery of the next generation of medicines.

    Abstract The efficacious dose of a drug is perhaps the most holistic metric reflecting its therapeutic potential. Dose is predicted at many stages in drug discovery and development. Prior to the 1990s, dose prediction was limited to the drug "working" at a reasonable dose and dose regimen in an animal model. Through the early 2000s, dose predictions were generated at candidate nomination and then refined during clinical development. Currently, dose predictions can be made early in drug discovery to enable drug design. Dose predictions at this stage can identify critical drug properties for a viable dose regimen and provide clinically relevant context to lead optimization. In this paper, we give an overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with dose prediction for drug design. A number of general considerations, approaches, and case examples are discussed.

    Abstract Due to its implications for both dose level and frequency, clearance rate is one of the most important pharmacokinetic parameters to consider in the design of drug candidates. Clearance can be classified into three general categories, namely, metabolic transformation, renal excretion, and hepatobiliary excretion. Within each category, there are a host of biochemical and physiological mechanisms that ultimately determine the clearance rate. Physiochemical properties are often indicative of the rate-determining mechanism, with lipophilic molecules tending toward metabolism and hydrophilic, polar molecules tending toward passive or active excretion. Optimization of clearance requires recognition of the major clearance mechanisms and use of the most relevant in vitro and in vivo tools to develop structure-clearance relationships. The reliability of methods to detect and predict human clearance varies across mechanisms. While methods for metabolic and passive renal clearance have proven reasonably robust, there is a clear need for better tools to support the optimization of transporter-mediated clearance.
