1. Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development Anthony Taylor
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development Objective; • To achieve a predictable therapeutic response to a drug included in a formulation which is capable of large scale manufacture with reproducible product quality.
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development • Development of the Drug Product • Development of a Manufacturing Process • Development of Product Controls • Specifications • Test methodology • Stability testing • Support to the Development process • Preclinical/clinical pharmacology • Manufacture and Supply of CTM
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development Lead Optimisation Preclinical Evaluation Phase IIb/ Phase III studies Post-marketing studies Safety/ tolerability/ PoC in humans Lead Series Identified Candidate Selected Concept Proven Approval for FTIH Product Launched
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development Lead Optimisation Preclinical Evaluation Safety/ tolerability/ PoC in humans Phase IIb/ Phase III studies Post-marketing studies Lead Series Identified Candidate Selected Approval for FTIH Concept Proven Product Launched Preformulation & developability assessment
Preformulation and Developability Assessment • Purpose • Determination of fundamental physical and chemical properties of the drug molecule • Identifies potential dosage forms • Identifies potential issues in the development of dosage forms • Assessment of likelihood of being able to turn drug into a Medicinal Product
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development Lead Optimisation Preclinical Evaluation Safety/ tolerability/ PoC in humans Phase IIb/ Phase III studies Post-marketing studies Product Candidate Approval Concept Lead Series Launched Identified Selected for FTIM Proven Preformulation & developability assessment Formulation development for Safety assessment and Clinical Pharmacology/Clinical Studies
Formulation Development and Testing for Safety Assessment • Purpose • Facilitate dosing in safety assessment studies • Ensure quality of test material • Issues • High exposures • Limited drug supply • Consistency with clinical products
Formulation Development for Clinical Pharmacology & Clinical Studies • Purpose • Facilitate unequivocal testing in humans • Ensure quality of test material • Issues • Simple, flexible dosage form required early on • Limited drug supply • Consistency with final product

Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development • Product Control - Specifications, Method Development and Testing • Purpose • Define standards for safety, efficacy and quality of product • Assurance of product quality for preclinical, clinical and marketed product, i.e. at all stages of development
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development • Summary; • To turn a drugsubstance into a viable medicinal product which delivers the drug to the right place at the right time in the right quantity to exert the desired effect by….
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development • Ensuring that the drug product is sufficiently stable that it reproducibly and reliably affects the desired pharmacological response • no loss of activity • no loss of performance • no increase in side effects
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development • Ensuring that the manufacturing process is robust, reliable and able to meet the predicted sales volumes for the product
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development • Developing analytical test methods to provide assurance of the quality of the medicinal product
Overview of Pharmaceutical Product Development • Commercial pressures; • How can we turn this drug into a medicine? Vs • Can we turn this compound into the medicine we want? • Primarily a question of drug substance control • Pharmacist has many approaches for formulating “difficult” compounds • How difficult is development likely to be?
Where is the Industry Today? • Need 2 or 3 NCE’s each year to be launched--not happening! • Applications for NCE’s in the US were down from 34 in 1995 to 12 in 2003 • Cost of development increased from $1.1bn to $1.7 bn over same period
