RESUMO
European Bioanalysis Forum Focus Workshop, Lisbon, Portugal, 9-10 June 2016 At the recent European Bioanalysis Forum's Focus Workshop 'Bringing Assay Validation and Analysis of Biomarkers into Practice', the discussion on best practice for biomarker assay validation continued. Both the presentations and the adjacent panel discussions yielded valuable food for thought for the broader bioanalytical community. The present conference report summarizes the essence from these discussions and from the proposals or conclusions made by all delegates on how to increase the necessary connectivity of the stakeholders involved in the bioanalysis of biomarkers.

Interference testing of co-medication in bioanalytical method validation has become an area of debate in view of the increased specificity offered by current state-of-the-art technology in both LC-MS/MS and ligand-binding assay platforms. In view of this, and considering the extensive experience within the European Bioanalysis Forum member companies, we evaluated the impact of co-medication on the performance of hundreds of bioanalytical methods with the aim of providing a science-based recommendation on how to evaluate and document potential interference from co-medication on the PK parameters in clinical studies in patients and volunteers.
