ADME 101: Enzyme Induction Studies
The clearance of a drug can be increased and its effectiveness or safety compromised if it is co-administered with a second drug that induces the enzyme responsible for its metabolism, which is why regulatory agencies highlight the importance of studies to evaluate this potential cause of drug-drug interactions. This 20 minute overview features:
- An overview of enzyme induction
- Why is measuring CYP (or other enzyme) induction important?
- Regulatory guidance & expectations
- Types of induction studies
- Typical study design (definitive vs. screening)
- Considerations & questions to ask upfront
- Test systems for induction studies and more…
