Questions and Answers

What is the goal of determining the 1st Human dose of a drug?

  • To keep the therapeutic dose between NOAEL and MABEL (correct)
  • To maximize the pharmacologically active dose
  • To minimize the safety factor applied to NOAEL
  • To eliminate the need for human equivalent dose calculation

What does the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) focus on regarding safety?

  • Uncovering risks including carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, reprotoxicity (correct)
  • Maximizing the pharmacological effect of drugs
  • Reducing the need for stability studies
  • Avoiding multidisciplinary approaches

What is the role of the Minimum Anticipated Biological Effect Level (MABEL) in drug development?

  • It indicates the maximum toxic level of a drug
  • It determines the human equivalent dose
  • It defines the maximum safety factor for NOAEL
  • It represents the minimum point at which a drug shows efficacy (correct)
