With the growing focus on translational research and the use of biomarkers to drive drug development and approvals, biomarkers have become a significant area of research within the pharmaceutical industry. However, until the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2013 draft guidance on bioanalytical method validation included consideration of biomarker assays using LC-MS and LBA, those assays were created, validated, and used without standards of performance. This lack of expectations resulted in the FDA receiving data from assays of varying quality in support of efficacy and safety claims. The AAPS Crystal City VI (CC VI) Workshop in 2015 was held as the first forum for industry-FDA discussion around the general issues of biomarker measurements (e.g., endogenous levels) and specific technology strengths and weaknesses. The 2-day workshop served to develop a common understanding among the industrial scientific community of the issues around biomarkers, informed the FDA of the current state of the science, and will serve as a basis for further dialogue as experience with biomarkers expands with both groups.
