GOAL DRUG • desired features • produce desired effect • administered by desirable route • minimum dosing and dosing frequency • optimal onset and duration of activity • efficient and complete elimination • easily produced at low cost • pharmaceutically elegant • physically and chemically stable CHEE 440
PRECLINICAL STUDIES • Determine chemical and physical properties • Determine biological properties: • pharmacology • ADME • toxicology • Preformulation • dosage form needs to be sterilizable, prepared in a reproducible fashion, stable, free of impurities CHEE 440
IND SUBMISSION • Investigational New Drug • required before testing in humans • in Canada, filed with Health Products and Food Branch • 60 day waiting period • in USA, filed with Food and Drug Administration • 30 day waiting period CHEE 440

CLINICAL TRIALS • PHASE 1 • concerned with tolerability and safety of the drug • generally involves 20-100 carefully chosen healthy volunteers • initial dose is quite low, if well tolerated, progressively larger doses given until evidence of drug action observed • determine the metabolism and pharmacological action of drug in humans CHEE 440
CLINICAL TRIALS • PHASE 2 • purpose is to determine efficacy of drug (dosage) and to detect side effects not noted in healthy volunteers • patients suffering from disease are treated in limited numbers (up to several hundred) under close observation CHEE 440
CLINICAL TRIALS • PHASE 3 • deals with safety and efficacy of drug • several hundred to a thousand patients • private practitioners of varying background and experience brought in by the more experienced clinicians • practitioners report to principal investigator who relays the info and his evaluation to HPFB or FDA CHEE 440
PHASE SUMMARY CHEE 440
NEW DRUG SUBMISSION • NDS in Canada, ND Application in US • contents • all the preclinical and clinical data • includes pharmacokinetics and bioavailability, discussion of risk and benefits, complete proposed product labeling • HPFB and FDA rule on acceptability (2-4 years) CHEE 440
POST-MARKETING • PHASE 4 • Systematic and comprehensive monitoring of the patterns of use and beneficial or harmful effects of drug as used in medical practice and by the consumer CHEE 440
