drug discovered
pre clin studises not in humans
then health canada approves studying in humans

Q

what are the four phases of drug discovery? what happens in each?

A

target discovery: finding the targets for the drug
target validation: eliminating the wrong targets
lead generation and refinement: generating molecules
preclinical development: eliminating and dvancing molecules

this all happens in drug discovery! way before any trials and testing!

Q

describe the drug dev funnel

A

lots during basic research, funneling out from 100 000-25000 to 10-20 in preclin/animal studies
then 5-10 in phase 1

Q

typically how long does the drug dev process take? describe what happens at each time point

A

in total up to 15 years.
3-6 years spend on drug discovery and preclin
6-7 years spent on clinical studies
0.5-2 years spent on regulatory review
afterwards is post marketing review

A
  1. looking mainly at pk/pd, dosing range, safety

Q

why shouldnt you give all patients the dose at the same time during a clinical trial?

A

wait some time so you can see if the drug is affecting someone first (2006 paraxel for tgn1412 - leukemia and arthritis drug, 2016 trial in france)

Q

which phase of clinical trial does comparisons?

A

phase 3

30
Q

what is notice of compliance?

A

once the manufacturer receives it and the DIN, they can sell the product in canada: noc tells us that benefits outweigh risks and harms of product

Q

how is study design related to trials

A

you can design trials in such a way that they are more efficient at the outset to figure out who the study works for

48
Q

contrast cohort vs case control designs

A

cohort looks forward in time: takes a sample of healthy patients, exposes them, sees if they have illness

case control: looks at population, sees if they have the illness, then sees if they were exposed (good for diseases that take a long time to develop)

49
