1 Biomarkers for Hypothesis Testing Definition for Drug Development: Biomarker = Any Measure of a Drug Action Proximal to a Clinical Effect Biochemical (PET, MRS & CSF* for CNS drugs) Physiological EEG, FDG PET, fmri, ASL, etc Behavioural (Responses to T asks) Definition for CNS Disease State Biomarker = Quantifiable Measure in Brain Tissue* (including CSF) associated with Severity or Course of Clinical Symptoms * Plasma and Urine can be Utilized when Established to Reflect CNS
