Research and Markets: Increase in Planned Deployment of ADME-Tox applications in Drug Development?

(PRWEB) October 9, 2004 -- Research and Markets announces the addition of "A Survey of ADME-TOX Trends in Drug Development" to its offering.

This survey is based on the responses of 281 pharmaceutical scientists and managers who completed a questionnaire fielded early 2004. The goal of the survey was to collect baseline data concerning the current and planned deployment of various ADME-Tox applications in drug discovery and development.

All participants in the Web-based survey were pre-qualified recipients selected from our internal database of biopharmaceutical report buyers, subscribers of the journal BioTechniques, and attendees of IBC Life Science events.

The questionnaire consisted of 29 closed or partially closed-ended questions and one open-ended question designed to encourage further thoughts regarding how ADME/Tox data is being employed in NCE discovery.

The results of this survey provide insight into the current and planned deployment of various ADME-Tox applications in this area.
