Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators

This webinar will discuss the discovery, pharmacology, clinical development, regulatory considerations, and anti-doping efforts related to selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), a new class of drug being developed for acute and chronic muscle wasting conditions. Enobosarm, a first-in-class molecule now in phase II clinical trials, will be discussed as an example of the challenges ahead for medically-approved and illicit use of these substances.
After participating in this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Recognize how SARMs differ from steroidal anabolic agents.
- Describe the un-met medical needs underlying the pharmaceutical development of SARMs.
- Discuss the challenges that SARMs present to the anti-doping community.
