M4 drug discovery: Human drug predictions from integrated preclinical insights exemplified with a GLP-1R agonist.
Key takeaways
This paper describes a method for predicting how a drug will behave in people using lab and animal data. The worked example is a GLP-1 medicine used for type 2 diabetes. It is about how drug developers make predictions, not about kidney disease, and it reports no patient results. Off-topic for this digest.
