The pharmaceutical industry is evolving rapidly, with drug development at its core. However, the journey from initial concept to market approval is fraught with challenges. In this blog post, we'll explore the key steps in the drug development process and how Purology's expertise can guide companies through each phase efficiently and compliantly. Understanding the Preclinical Phase The preclinical phase lays the groundwork for all future development efforts. During this stage, extensive laboratory research is conducted to identify promising drug candidates. Preclinical studies focus on understanding the drug's safety profile and efficacy through in vitro (test tube) and in vivo (animal) experiments. Key Considerations Safety and Toxicology Testing: Before advancing to human trials, it's critical to ensure that the drug is safe and non-toxic. Approximately 30% of drug candidates fail during this stage due to safety concerns. Regulatory Submissions: Companies must sub...
