Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry struggles with increasing costs to confidently validate drug targets and develop optimized drug molecules that successfully and safely translate efficacy into the clinic. Clinical prediction of success is imperative to reduce and recoup the costs associated with drug development. Strategies to enable clinical prediction rely on new technologies that can be employed earlier in the drug discovery process. In vivo imaging technologies, such as MRI, PET, SPECT, CT, and optical, are being employed exponentially to almost every aspect of the drug discovery process for earlier assessments. Quantitative imaging approaches for assessing disease end points are required to provide the precision to understand the efficacy and toxicity of new medicines rather than relying on blunt measures of clinical scoring. The bidirectional translation of preclinical and clinical drugs and drug assessments has provided new insights into the profiles of disease and toxicity rather than “snapshots” of pathology that occur using conventional ex vivo techniques. MRI technology has developed significantly over the last 20 years with respect to speed of acquisition, higher resolutions, and better tissue contrast imaging techniques. MRI enables new image-based evidence to successfully translate new chemical entities into clinical practice. This imaging technique provides a means to quantify disease and detect unprecedented rare and common disease mechanisms, which enables new medicines to be developed that can improve the quality of human life.
