PRECLINICAL STUDIES
Determine chemical and physical properties
Determine biological properties:
 pharmacology
 ADME
 toxicology
Preformulation
 dosage form needs to be sterilizable, prepared in a
reproducible fashion, stable, free of impurities

CLINICAL TRIALS
PHASE 1
 concerned with tolerability and safety of the drug
 generally involves 20-100 carefully chosen healthy
volunteers
 initial dose is quite low, if well tolerated, progressively larger
doses given until evidence of drug action observed
 determine the metabolism and pharmacological action of
drug in humans
B. Amsden
CHEE 440
CLINICAL TRIALS
PHASE 2
 purpose is to determine efficacy of drug (dosage) and
to detect side effects not noted in healthy volunteers
 patients suffering from disease are treated in limited
numbers (up to several hundred) under close
observation
B. Amsden
CHEE 440
CLINICAL TRIALS
PHASE 3
 deals with safety and efficacy of drug
 several hundred to a thousand patients
 private practitioners of varying background and
experience brought in by the more experienced
clinicians
 practitioners report to principal investigator who relays
the info and his evaluation to HPFB or FDA
