Exploratory Drug Development

Planning and conducting the first human clinical trial of a new medicine is an important step in the drug development pathway. Preclinical data generated in vitro and in vivo must be interpreted and used in a manner that allows a safe human trial to be conducted. A sound understanding of the basic scientific principles is paramount but equally important are the basic principles of clinical trial design and regulatory requirements. This module combines these elements to provide participants with the capability to facilitate the effective design and conduct of exploratory clinical studies with respect to tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The criteria for ‘go’ / ‘no-go’ decisions, assessment of the risk/benefit ratio, and dose-escalation in single and repeat-dose studies will be discussed with respect to the early clinical development plan and proof-of-concept.
