About the Topic

Human absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) study (also referred to as mass balance or radiolabel study) is a key study in the Clinical Pharmacology package of new drug application. The data gathered from this study provides a quantitative and comprehensive overall picture of the disposition of a drug, including excretion pattern and metabolite profiles in circulation and excreta and are highly informative for developing a cohesive strategy for clinical pharmacology studies, drug-drug interaction, organ impairment, monitoring of metabolite(s), and to obtain a waiver for the bioequivalence study.  Regulatory guidelines (Metabolites in Safety Testing, MIST) warrant that human specific or disproportionate metabolites whose exposure is greater than 10% of total drug related material should be considered for safety assessment in preclinical species. Recently, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a guidance describing the recommendations regarding clinical pharmacology considerations for conducting human radiolabeled mass balance studies of investigational drug.  

The workshop is designed to provide detailed guidance on objectives, study designs, and data analysis of metabolism studies of small molecules. Speakers of this workshop bring a wealth of knowledge from the pharmaceutical industry/FDA in drug metabolism sciences. This workshop will describe the highlights of this regulatory guidance and various strategies and technical approaches for conducting the human radiolabeled ADME studies with examples of approved drugs.

The discussion will be centered around the following topics:

• Overview of the recent FDA guidance
• Radiolabeled human ADME studies-why, what and when
• Human ADME studies: Design, data analysis, and interpretation
• Approaches for safety assessments of human metabolites
• IV tracer studies approach with case studies
