Preguntas frecuentes
- Que es el NOAEL y como se usa?
- No Observed Adverse Effect Level: la dosis mas alta en toxicology studies sin efectos adversos. Se usa para calcular starting dose en humanos: HED = NOAEL x Km ratio, luego aplicar safety factors (10x interspecies, 10x human variability).
- Cuando se requieren estudios de carcinogenicidad?
- Para tratamientos continuos por mas de 6 meses, o intermitente para condiciones cronicas. Peptides raramente requieren carcinogenicidad a menos que tengan potencial proliferativo o tratamiento cronico. Risk assessment determina necesidad.
- Que es el test de hERG?
- Ensayo in vitro que evalua bloqueo del canal de potasio IKr (hERG). Bloqueo causa prolongacion QT y riesgo de arritmias. Es screening obligatorio para todos los farmacos. Resultado positivo requiere follow-up studies y clinical ECG monitoring.
- Como se evalua immunogenicidad en preclinical?
- Screening para ADAs durante toxicology studies. Especie-specific assays. Evaluar incidencia, timing, magnitude, neutralization. Assess impacto en PK, PD y toxicology findings. Importante: animal ADAs no predicen human response directamente.
