Drug Development

?
What are the four stages of drug development?
Pre Clinical Development (0-3 years), Clinical Development (4-9 years), Regulatory Review (10-11 years) and Drug Launch (>11 years)
1 of 7
What happens in the pre-clinical development stage?
Pre-Clinical- New compounds undergo lab tests. Animal tests are used to investigate effects computers can't predict.
2 of 7
What happens in the Clinical Development Stage [PHASE 1]?
Phase 1 (3-4 years)- Tested on 50-100 healthy volunteers to work out dosages
3 of 7
What happens in the Clinical Development Stage [PHASE 2]?
Phase 2 (4-5 years)- 200-400 patients are tested to see if it workds and to discover side effects
4 of 7
What happens in the Clinical Development Stage [PHASE 3]?
Phase 3 (5-9 Years)- 3000+ patients- some get drug and others get a placebo to test the effectiveness
5 of 7
What happens in the Regulatory Review Stage?
Regulatory Review- Data is studied by regulatory authority. If the benefits outway the risks, the drug is licensed as a treatment
6 of 7
What happens in the Drug Launch Stage?
Drug Launch- Drug continues to be studied for very rare side effects
