MICRODOSING FOR EARLY BIOKINETIC STUDIES IN HUMANS.

Stenström, Kristina LU ; Sydoff, Marie LU and Mattsson, Sören LU (2010) In Radiation Protection Dosimetry 139. p.348-352
Abstract
Microdosing is a new concept in drug development that-if implemented in the pharmaceutical industry-would mean that new drugs can be tested earlier in humans than done today. The human microdosing concept-or 'Phase 0'-may offer improved candidate selection, reduced failure rates in the drug development line and a reduction in the use of laboratory animals in early drug development, factors which will help to speed up drug development and also reduce the costs. Microdosing utilises sub-pharmacological amounts of the substance to open opportunities for early studies in man. Three technologies are used for microdosing: accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), positron emission tomography and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. This... (More)

This paper focuses on the principle of AMS and discusses the current status of microdosing with AMS. (Less)
