Increase clinical translation with Organ-Chips for ADME-Tox assessments. Accurate ADME-Tox profiling of preclinical drug candidates remains a challenge. Preclinical ADME-Tox (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) studies are pivotal to predicting human response. However, approximately 30% of drugs fail during human clinical trials due to adverse reactions despite promising preclinical study results, and another 60% fail due to lack of efficacy. As companies broaden the modality toolbox with novel drug delivery mechanisms, clinical translation becomes even more challenging. Put simply, current models do not offer the predictive value required to confidently transition drug candidates to the clinic.
