ISSUE NO. 17 — Maximizing Drug Formulation for First-in-Human Trials
The main objective of first-in-human (FIH) trials is to determine the starting dose of a new drug, one that is low enough to provide minimal to no safety and toxicity risks and allows the highest dosage/benefit for the intended trial.
The manufacture of the drug product for clinical trials is of critical importance, as the formulation, manufacturing, and assessment of a drug candidate during FIH trials can
be contributing factors in whether the drug safely provides the correct dosage and, ultimately, gains regulatory approval. Decisions made during early-phase development, when the compound is being used in a clinical research setting, provide significant learnings for its progression through later phase research. Integration is key — ensuring that information gathered at the clinic is efficiently incorporated into the manufacturing process is a major contributor to the goal of achieving marketing approval.
In Issue 17 of The Altascientist, we review:
