Safety First

Published 12 January 2011 | By CoreLab Partners

Cardiac  safety  is  a  relatively  new  field  in  drug  development  clinical  research. It  first  emerged  as  a  regulatory  focus  after  the  high‐profile  withdrawals  of  drugs  such  as  terfenadine  and  cisapride  in  the  1990s,  and  became  synonymous  with  drug‐induced  QT  prolongation  and  its  associated  cardiac  arrhythmia  –  torsades  de  pointes  (TdP).  Recent  regulatory  guidance,  most  notably  ICH‐E14,  brought  cardiac  safety  into  the  forefront  of  regulatory  medicine. Since  2000, cardiac safety became the primary reason for drug withdrawals and non‐approval of new drugs. Early detection of potential QT  prolongation  and  TdP  liability  is  now  an  essential  component  of  the  drug  development  paradigm.
