    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.
