DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Drug Development: Key to Success from Concept to Commercialization Course” training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The course begins by considering the global pharmaceutical market, important therapeutic areas, and the roles of different Pharmaceutical professionals in the development process, as well as a definition of drugs and medical devices.
Course includes the identification of drug targets, synthesis of chemical drugs and the development of biologics, pharmacokinetics and toxicity screening, pre-clinical development, clinical studies, regulatory submissions, managing post-approval change, pharmacovigilance, and an overview of regulations governing drug manufacture and distribution.
The drug development process, from discovery to post-marketing surveillance, is then explained. This course is designed to teach employees of pharmaceutical companies who would like an understanding of the drug development and regulatory approval process.
Learning Objectives:
- Roles of different pharmaceutical professionals
- Typical costs and timelines associated with drug development
- How new drugs are developed against targets in the human body
- The structure of regulatory submissions
- Reasons why drugs fail during the development process
- Factors affecting oral bioavailability
- The size of the global pharmaceutical market and the key therapeutic areas being addressed by innovator companies
- How drugs are screened for toxicity
- The potential influence of polymorphism, salt form, and isomerism on efficacy and safety
- How formulation can affect drug performance
- How the safety and efficacy of drug products are ensured during QC release testing
- The information obtained at each stage of clinical research
- How post-approval changes to drug products are managed
- How the manufacture and distribution of marketed drug products are controlled
