Covance Expands Its Drug Metabolism Services to Include Eight Human Transporters Key to Drug Disposition
Covance
announced the expansion of its drug metabolism services to include drug-transporter interactions with eight human transporters. Under this expansion, Covance now offers assessment of drug-transporter interactions involving major human transporters key to drug disposition in a stably transfected, cell-based format regarded as a superior model for reliable, reproducible results.
“For more than 30 years, Covance has helped our clients achieve a detailed understanding of the disposition of their drug candidates,” said Jon Denissen, PhD, Vice President of Global Drug Metabolism. “The addition of drug-transporter interactions to our service offering enables our clients to define the importance of transporters in their drug discovery and development programs, select the best drug candidates, and meet the latest expectations of regulatory agencies.”
Eight cell lines stably expressing human transporters in the Covance drug-transporter interactions service include P-glycoprotein (P-gp/MDR1), breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP), organic cation transporters 1& 2 (OCT1 & OCT2), organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3), organic anion transporting polypeptides 1B1 and 1B3 (OATP1B1 & OATP1B3), and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2).
Through its wholly-owned laboratories located in the United States, Europe, and Asia, Covance offers clients access to comprehensive and integrated portfolios of drug metabolism services, including preclinical PK,
in vitro
metabolism, custom radiosynthesis,
in vivo
radiolabeled ADME, metabolite identification, and PK/TK analysis.

AI in Clinical Trials: A Long, But Promising Road Ahead
May 29th 2024Stephen Pyke, chief clinical data and digital officer, Parexel, discusses how AI can be used in clinical trials to streamline operational processes, the importance of collaboration and data sharing in advancing the use of technology, and more.
Patient Engagement Platform Checklist
November 22nd 2024Modern clinical trials are more complex than ever, and one significant reason is the increased focus on patient engagement. Incorporating a patient engagement platform into your clinical trial enhances the patient experience and can lead to more successful trials with stronger, more reliable outcomes. We put together this helpful checklist of key features to look out for when choosing a platform for your study.
The Rise of Predictive Engagement Tools in Clinical Trials
November 22nd 2024Patient attrition can be a significant barrier to the success of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Today, with the help of AI-powered predictive engagement tools, clinical study managers are finding ways to proactively reduce attrition rates in RCTs, and increase the effectiveness of their trial. In this guide, we look at the role AI-powered patient engagement tools play in clinical research, from the problems they’re being used to solve to the areas and indications in which they’re being deployed.
