Clinical research on new drugs
Phase I clinical trial
Tolerance test
Generally conducted in healthy volunteers, when more toxic drugs should be administered in patients for their indications
Determine the minimum initial test volume
1. Refer to the clinical tolerance test (documentation) of the same drug and take 1/2 of the starting dose as the starting dose.
2. Refer to clinical tolerance tests of similar drugs and take 1/4 of the starting dose as the starting dose.
3. Starting from 1/10 of the clinical therapeutic amount of similar drugs
4. When there is no reference, the starting dose is calculated based on the preclinical animal test results.
1. 1/600 of the LD50 for sensitive animals or 1/60 of the lowest toxic dose
2. 1/600 of the LD50 of the two animal acute toxicity tests, and 1/60 of the long-term toxic dose of the two animals (the lowest one is the starting dose)
3. 1/100~1/50 of the minimum effective dose for the most sensitive animals
4. Larger starting amount (for anticancer drugs): 1/100 of the acute toxic LD50 in mice or 1/40~1/30 of the lowest toxic dose in large animals
Determine maximum dose
(1) The maximum single dose of the same drug, similar drugs, or drugs with similar structure
(2) 1/10 of the dose that causes poisoning symptoms or reversible changes in organs in long-term animal toxicity tests
(3) 1/5~1/2 of the maximum tolerated dose in long-term animal toxicity tests
(4) The maximum dose range should include the expected effective dose
(5) If there are scientific clinical research documents from abroad, you can refer to their maximum dosage for clinical treatment.
Termination test criteria
(1) Serious adverse reactions occur during dose escalation (affecting normal work, study, life, etc.)
(2) Half of the subjects experienced mild adverse reactions
(3) Half of anti-cancer drugs have serious adverse reactions
(4) When the maximum dose is reached and no adverse reactions occur, the trial should be terminated
Basic principles of dose escalation
The increment can be larger in the initial stage and gradually smaller in the later stage.
Fisher's increasing method: increase quickly at the beginning, then increase by 1/3, that is, 100%, 67%, 50%, 35%, and then increase by 1/3
Phase II clinical trial
Design Principles
(1) Representativeness: The determination of test subjects should comply with the principle of sampling population in statistics.
(2) Repeatability: The test results are accurate and reliable and can withstand repeated verification. When designing, attention should be paid to eliminating biases.
(3) Randomization: Randomization is the basic principle of clinical trials of new drugs. Randomized controlled double-blind trials eliminate objective bias factors, thus solving allocation errors and significantly improving the credibility of the trial.
(4) Rationality: refers to the experimental design that not only meets professional requirements and statistical requirements, but is also feasible
experimental design
1. Controlled experiment
Parallel controlled trials: suitable for diseases that may be cured by one course of treatment; the course of treatment is longer; the effect of the latter treatment drug will be different if it is administered after the first drug treatment; the source of cases required for the trial is not difficult; Have sufficient research power and conditions
Cross-controlled trial: According to the pre-designed test sequence, various treatments are implemented on the subjects one by one in each period to compare the treatment groups. difference between
2. Blind trial: It is one of the measures to control bias during the clinical trial process and when interpreting the results. It does not let doctors and patients know whether each specific subject receives the experimental drug or the control drug.
3. Placebo
Definition: Substances without pharmacological activity, such as lactose, starch, etc., are used as negative controls in clinical controlled trials. For some drugs with weak effects, placebo controls are established in order to accurately evaluate their effectiveness.
Placebo effect: Placebo can produce effects, such as analgesia and cough relief. The average effective rate is 35.2% ± 2.2%. Among them, the analgesic effect is the most obvious, with an effective rate of 60%.
The role of placebo control
1. Use as a negative control in randomized controlled trials so that the safety and effectiveness of new drugs can be evaluated under blind conditions.
When there is a positive control, a placebo control is also set up to monitor the sensitivity of the test method.
Exclude the role of psychiatric factors in drug treatment
Rule out spontaneous changes in the disease itself
Phase III clinical trial
To further verify the therapeutic effect and safety of the drug on patients with target indications, Evaluate the relationship between benefits and risks, and ultimately provide sufficient basis for approval of drug registration application
content include:
1. Research on the correlation between the concentration of new drugs in the human body and clinical pharmacological effects (drug efficacy and adverse reactions)
2. Pharmacokinetic studies on drug interactions with other drugs that may be used in combination with the drug
3. Research on the secretion and excretion of new drugs in human tissues and secretions
4. Pharmacokinetic research on new drugs in special populations, including research on the impact of factors such as impaired liver function and impaired renal function on human pharmacokinetics
Phase IV clinical trial
Expand clinical trials
clinical trials for special subjects
Supplementary clinical trials
Investigation of adverse reactions: Some adverse reactions with low incidence are not easy to be found in phase II and III clinical trials of new drugs and need to be continued to be investigated during phase IV clinical trials.
