Study Notes

Pharmaceutical product development goes through pre-clinical and clinical stages
Pre-clinical stage includes gene editing on humans, safety assessments, and clinical trials
Clinical trials consist of Phases I, II, III, and IV
IMP enters clinical studies as an Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP)
Phase I trials assess safety and tolerability in healthy volunteers and patients
Phase II trials establish preliminary efficacy and effective dose range in patients
Phase III trials confirm the IMP's efficacy and compare it to market leaders
Phase IV trials conduct post-market surveillance for more patient experience
Formulation development is crucial for assessing the safety, stability, and compatibility of the drug's formulation
Regulatory affairs are essential to ensure public safety, efficacy, and quality of medicinal products through harmonization, such as the International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) and Paediatric Investigation Plans (PIPs) for children's clinical studies.
