Abstract | The process of bringing a new drug to market is complex and has recently necessitated a new drug discovery paradigm for the pharmaceutical industry that is both more efficient and more economical. Key to this has been the increasing use of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging to support drug discovery efforts by answering critical questions on the pathway for development and approval of a new therapeutic drug. Some of these questions include: (i) Does the new drug reach its intended target in the body at sufficient levels to effectively treat or diagnose disease without unacceptable toxicity? (ii) How is the drug absorbed, metabolized, and excreted? (iii) What is the effective dose in humans? To conduct the appropriate imaging studies to answer such questions, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly partnering with molecular imaging departments. Nuclear medicine technologists are critical to this process as they perform scans to collect the qualitative and quantitative imaging data used to measure study endpoints. This article describes preclinical and clinical research trials and provides an overview of the different ways that radiopharmaceuticals are used to answer critical questions during therapeutic drug development. |
