Recent changes in the regulatory environment have called attention to the need for and potential benefits of greater and more detailed evidence to inform decisions based on the risk-benefit profile of medications. Nevertheless, access to potentially beneficial therapies continues to be impeded by a lack of sufficient information that could help optimize benefits and minimize risks of treatments for patients. Over-reliance on pre-marketing clinical trials and the FDA's spontaneous reporting adverse event system to support regulatory decisions has sustained an information void. Clinical trials are the gold standard for demonstrating efficacy, but they cannot fully predict safety when drugs are used in the real world. Spontaneous reporting can identify new signals, but cannot quantify those signals or place them in appropriate clinical context. In the face of new safety signals, absence of better information on how medications are used and how they perform in the real world setting, regulators are often limited to either continuing drug marketing without significant changes or withdrawing a medication from the market. Experience shows that information collected proactively, to better understand the background risks associated with the underlying disease and to better quantify the product risks, can influence these decisions to include a wider range of options regarding a product's availability, labeling and additional risk management strategies. This article presents several case studies of medications, including those in which insufficient data were available to address important safety signals and decisions were made to withdraw products, as well as those in which epidemiologic data were available to provide reassurance of product safety and allow continued product use, even though some may be marketed with additional risk management programs. More extensive and earlier epidemiologic assessment of risks and benefits of new products will create a new standard of evidence for industry and regulators and is likely to result in more effective and balanced regulatory actions, thereby affording better care for patients. 相似文献

Introduction: Clinical development of new drugs is a long and costly process. There is a need to find solutions which can improve and shorten this process. By introducing flexibility in to the design of clinical trials, adaptive design contributes to this improvement and allows to reach drug development decisions in a quicker way.Areas covered: We review the main methodological approaches to adaptive trial design, introducing key statistical concepts. For each phase of the clinical development, different uses and implementations of adaptive trial (AD) design are presented and examples of recent clinical trials are given. The guidance documents issued by the US and European regulatory authorities are also presented.Expert commentary: Despite inevitable challenges, prospects of this rapidly evolving approach to drug development are important. Controlling the risk of type 1 error and the potential operational risks which may be associated with adaptive trial strategy is paramount in late phase studies. However, with new methodological work, these risks are now well controlled and adaptive trial design will certainly shape the future of drug development. 相似文献

In today’s globalized drug development landscape, the need for regulatory professionals to be more seamlessly integrated into strategic decisions is evident. Whereas a few companies see the benefit of involving regulatory affairs professionals in strategic business decisions, many still lag behind. Limited literature and scholarly discussion is available on whether regulatory affairs professionals are given the stature and power to make a meaningful contribution during strategy formulation across all stages of the product development, launch, and life-cycle management. This article examines the current business environment for the regulated industries; discusses why it is important that regulatory affairs play an active and strategic role in this sector; and proposes a new educational perspective to facilitate the recognition and acceptance of regulatory affairs professionals as strategic partners. 相似文献

Human safety issues arise throughout the life cycle of pharmaceutical products and relevant information comes from a multitude of sources. Assessment and management of risks to humans requires a problem-based analysis to bring together relevant information regardless of source. The Safety Evaluation Plan (SEP) is a tool to support problem-oriented safety analysis. Safety issues are specified and the evaluation and management of each problem is based on a status summary that integrates the most current information from all relevant sources. The status summary is updated regularly during the course of clinical development to reflect the results of new studies and new clinical trials. In the postmarketing period, relevant postmarketing data is incorporated. Recent regulatory initiatives emphasise early identification of product safety risks so that appropriate risk-management measures can be instituted at the time of approval. A problem-oriented approach supports growing regulatory expectations regarding risk assessment and risk management. The problem-oriented approach facilitates early identification of safety issues and an evidence-based approach to their evaluation. Proactive management of safety problems leads to prompt assessment of risks and timely and appropriate steps aimed at risk reduction. The SEP provides a single global assessment for each safety issue. Regulatory submissions for pharmaceutical and biological products are organised by type of information. International Conference of Harmonisation documents covering clinical safety issues structure and analyse information separately by type, for example, adverse events, serious adverse events, laboratory data, vital signs, etc. A problem-oriented analysis would need to find a place in the regulatory process. A problem-oriented approach to safety cuts across typical structures in the pharmaceutical industry where different groups handle preclinical, clinical and postmarketing safety information. The SEP can improve communication within the company and externally. Nonetheless, supporting structures need to be adapted to support such an interdisciplinary process. Overall, the problem-oriented approach, supported by a SEP, contributes to realistic expectations and sustained credibility when dealing with safety issues. 相似文献

While the use of pharmaceuticals is always a balance of risks and benefits, the same is not true for impurities in pharmaceuticals; impurities convey only risk. A number of international guidelines and regional guidances instruct drug developers and regulatory agencies on how to evaluate and control impurities in drug substances and drug products. While impurities should always be reduced to the lowest levels that are reasonably practical, it is acknowledged that impurities cannot be reduced to zero and specifications for impurities need to be established. This chapter discusses practical and theoretical methods for qualification of different classes of impurities. 相似文献

Advancing drug discovery through systems biology 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Pharmaceutical companies are facing an urgent need to both increase their lead compound and clinical candidate portfolios and satisfy market demands for continued innovation and revenue growth. Here, we outline an emerging approach that attempts to facilitate and alleviate many of the current drug discovery issues and problems. This is, in part, achieved through the systematic integration of technologies, which results in a superior output of data and information, thereby enhancing our understanding of biological function, chemico-biological interactions and, ultimately, drug discovery. Systems biology is one new discipline that is positioned to significantly impact this process. 相似文献

Drug regulatory agencies should ensure that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, but licensed medicines sometimes do not perform as expected in everyday clinical practice. Failure may relate to lower than anticipated efficacy or a higher than anticipated incidence or severity of adverse effects. Here we show that the problem of benefit-risk is to a considerable degree a problem of variability in drug response. We describe biological and behavioural sources of variability and how these contribute to the long-known efficacy-effectiveness gap. In this context, efficacy describes how a drug performs under conditions of clinical trials, whereas effectiveness describes how it performs under conditions of everyday clinical practice. We argue that a broad range of pre- and post-licensing technologies will need to be harnessed to bridge the efficacy-effectiveness gap. Successful approaches will not be limited to the current notion of pharmacogenomics-based personalized medicines, but will also entail the wider use of electronic health-care tools to improve drug prescribing and patient adherence. 相似文献

Introduction: The 12th Annual Meeting of the Safety Pharmacology (SP) Society (SPS) covered various subjects among which safety issues concerning oncolytic drugs are reviewed and discussed in details. Areas covered: The challenges faced by a medical oncologist during the development of new anticancer medicines were the focus of the keynote address. Romidepsin, a drug initially abandoned because of serious cardiotoxicity in dogs, was successfully rescued for clinical evaluation by tailoring the dose regimen to mitigate cardiac toxicity risks. The integration of SP endpoints into long-term toxicology offers the advantage of determining safety on organ function during chronic exposures, whilst also supporting the principal goals of the 3Rs framework. State-of-the-art imaging technologies can provide valuable, interpretable and translational (human to mouse to human) data for the detection of myocardial function impairment. The future growth of SP was discussed in terms of areas in need of innovative approaches as identified, in particular, in a worldwide sharing of SP data and methodologies. Expert opinion: The need for epochal changes to ensure a bright future for SP should be promoted by the SPS. These comprise chiefly the expansion of the SP birth charter from primarily a regulatory discipline to include an efficiently organized experimental discovery science for which the name Exploratory SP (ESP) is proposed. Its mission would be the early and cost-effective assessment of the safety of clinical drug candidates on organ function based on mechanistic grounds and conducted outside of current expensive and time-consuming regulatory frontiers and constraints. The implementation of a high standard ESP discipline could also promote the gradual replacement of standalone safety investigations with SP assays performed within long-term toxicity studies. 相似文献

Robust regulatory arrangements provide the foundation for a national method of medicine safety, and for public confidence in medicines. This article focuses on the need to sharpen the regulatory requirements for pharmacovigilance in India. To be effective the remit of drug regulatory authorities needs to go further than the approval of new medicines, to encompass a wider range of issues related to the safety of medicines. In order to achieve their respective objectives pharmacovigilance programs and drug regulatory authorities must be mutually supporting. On one hand, pharmacovigilance programs need to maintain strong links with the drug regulatory authorities to ensure that the latter are well briefed on safety issues in everyday clinical practice, whether these issues are relevant to future regulatory action or concerns that emerge in the public domain. On the other, regulators need to understand the pivotal role that pharmacovigilance plays in ensuring the ongoing safety of medicinal products. Despite global focus on the Development Safety Update Report, Indian regulators are not yet insistent on real-time update of a drug’s cumulative safety profile. Hence, the present article concludes with a strong urge to postulate regulations that create a comprehensive medicine safety system through careful strategic planning that envelope all aspects of pharmacovigilance. 相似文献

The Nanotechnology Risk Assessment Working Group in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) within the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was established to assess the potential impact of nanotechnology on drug products. One of the working group’s major initiatives has been to conduct a comprehensive risk management exercise regarding the potential impact of nanomaterial pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients on drug product quality, safety, and efficacy. This exercise concluded that current review practices and regulatory guidance are capable of detecting and managing the potential risks to quality, safety, and efficacy when a drug product incorporates a nanomaterial. However, three risk management areas were identified for continued focus during the review of drug products containing nanomaterials: (1) the understanding of how to perform the characterization of nanomaterial properties and the analytical methods used for this characterization, (2) the adequacy of in vitro tests to evaluate drug product performance for drug products containing nanomaterials, and (3) the understanding of properties arising from nanomaterials that may result in different toxicity and biodistribution profiles for drug products containing nanomaterials. CDER continues to actively track the incorporation of nanomaterials in drug products and the methodologies used to characterize them, in order to continuously improve the readiness of our science- and risk-based review approaches. In parallel to the risk management exercise, CDER has also been supporting regulatory research in the area of nanotechnology, specifically focused on characterization, safety, and equivalence (between reference and new product) considerations. This article provides a comprehensive summary of regulatory and research efforts supported by CDER in the area of drug products containing nanomaterials and other activities supporting the development of this emerging technology. 相似文献

The focus of the present review is to address the use of protein crystals in formulation design. Although this idea has been present for some time, i.e., insulin crystals were first reported back in 1920s, macromolecular crystallization has not received as much attention as the other methods for stabilizing protein drug candidates. The prospective potential of crystalline protein formulations in light of new advances in the field of macromolecular crystallization was reviewed, and the basic concepts and the tools now available for developing protein crystals into drug formulations are introduced. In addition, formulation challenges and regulatory demands, along with examples of current applications of protein crystals, are presented. 相似文献
