Perspectives for an Integrated Biomarker Approach to Drug Discovery and Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biomarkers for Psychiatric Disorders

Abstract

Today’s psychopharmacological drugs remain focused on targets that were identified serendipitously more than half a century ago. As these targets have not proven to be at the core of the pathophysiology of the major psychiatric disorders, a better understanding of the disease biology seems a crucial step to identify more efficacious treatments. The tools to realize this goal include neuroendocrine, protein, transcription and genetic markers, neuroimaging and neurophysiological approaches. Obviously, the benefit for psychiatric patients of identifying a pattern of blood-based markers that combine information on the disease biology and treatment response would be enormous. Our transcription data from human blood cells suggest that this is a realistic possibility for the future. Ideally, markers identified in patients would be translated into distinct, hypothesis-driven animal models to facilitate conclusions on the potential therapeutic utility of novel compounds. The combined use of disease state and mechanistic models may characterize cellular and molecular mechanisms of various aspects of psychiatric disorders. This information, in turn, could help establish in vitro models that link cellular targets to (novel) pharmacological approaches. With the discussions around DSM-V, it can be hoped that ambitious research agenda will guide and stimulate systematic research into the biology and biological markers of psychiatric disorders.
