PK Assay Development Consulting in New Jersey
Pharmacokinetic assay development for New Jersey’s diverse pharmaceutical portfolio requires specialized expertise addressing analytical challenges across small molecules, biologics, and antibody-drug conjugates. Our PK assay development consulting in New Jersey provides comprehensive support for developing robust pharmacokinetic methods accurately measuring drug concentrations in biological samples throughout preclinical and clinical studies. Several analytical strategies and technologies serve as gold standards for PK analysis including various ligand binding assays, LC-MS, and LBA/LC-MS hybrid platforms providing reproducible bioanalytical data.
Generic PK assay development represents a significant innovation accelerating drug discovery for New Jersey pharmaceutical companies. A generic LBA PK assay, also referred to as universal PK assay, is used early in drug discovery providing support of monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates in animal studies when specific reagents such as anti-idiotype antibodies are not yet available. Smithers launched preclinical generic PK assays designed by expert scientists to address growing needs for more adaptable PK methods supporting development of large molecules and biosimilars. KCAS Bio has developed many generic PK assays over recent years with LBA team expertise helping quickly develop assays adaptable to rats, mice, and non-human primate matrices accelerating drug development in the preclinical space.
Key characteristics of generic LBA PK assays include adaptability to most mAbs and ADCs, rapid development time generally requiring only a few days of method development before sample analysis versus weeks for traditional PK assays, and broad assay range with good sensitivity allowing extended ranges without sacrificing upper assay limits. While generic PK assays offer numerous benefits, challenges exist including susceptibility to high background affecting sensitivity and selectivity due to interference and matrix effects, but experienced New Jersey scientists understand these challenges and possess vast experience developing and troubleshooting assays to minimize encounters.
For antibody-drug conjugates, New Jersey companies require sophisticated PK strategies addressing unique analytical complexities. NJ Bio helps select most appropriate platforms based on sensitivity and crucial parameters essential for ADC programs, leveraging extensive knowledge in bioanalytical studies and bioconjugations to devise optimal strategies providing precise data within crucial timelines required for drug discovery programs. Depending on information sought such as ADC stability, clearance, exposure, and safety at given development phases, hybrid capture LC-MS approaches combine ligand binding assay strengths with LC-MS capabilities improving selectivity and sensitivity for analyzing and characterizing ADCs. This powerful bioanalytical approach allows sample capture and concentration with excellent sensitivity, and depending on instrument and technique, accurate DAR can be obtained based on conjugated payload and antibody concentration from different species and tissues.
