This session will inform the common review issues and considerations in the Biomarker Qualification evaluations and provide an example to illustrate how biomarker identification, quantification and integration using a novel methodology can facilitate drug development.
Learning Objective : Describe the common review issues in the Biomarker Qualification evaluations in US and EU; Discuss the importance of integrating continuous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sampling in early phase drug development.
