What is clinical research ICH-GCP guidelines Schedule Y CROs and case study
Clinical research involves methodological and systematic study of drugs, devices ,biological ,vaccines used in the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disease
`
a. b. c. d.
Clinical trials translate results of basic scientific research into better ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease The more people take part, the faster we can: Answer critical research questions Find better treatments and ways to prevent disease
`
DRUG DISCOVERY: There are following steps of research activities which begins the process and results in the development of new drugs
`
Clinical development
Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
Phase 4(PMS)
Phase 1: 15-30 people What dosage is safe? How should treatment be given? How does treatment affect the body? Phase 2 (Therapeutic exploratory trials ): more than 100 people Does treatment do what it is supposed to? How does treatment affect the body? Phase 3 (Therapeutic confirmatory trials) : From 100 to thousands of people Compare new treatment with current standard Phase 4: From hundreds to thousands of people Usually takes place after drug is approved Used to further evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of new treatment
Eligibility criteria: Can range from general (age, sex, type of cancer) to specific (prior treatment, tumor characteristics, blood cell counts, organ function); eligibility criteria also vary with trial phase Endpoint: Measurable outcome that indicates an interventions effectiveness
Randomization:
A method used to prevent bias in research; a computer or a table of random numbers generates treatment assignments, and participants have an equal chance to be assigned to one of two or more groups (e.g., the control group or the investigational group)
Stratification:
Categorizing subjects into subgroups by specific characteristics
For example, male and female patients may respond differently to treatment, so a trial may record the subject sex. Such a trial would usually ensure that similar proportion of male and female subjects were in each treatment group. Subjects could be stratified by demographic information (such as sex, body weight or location) or by clinical criteria such as previous or simultaneous medication.
10
Single-blind Describes experiments where information that could introduce bias or otherwise skew the result is withheld from the participants, but the experimenter will be in full possession of the facts Double-blind Describes experiments where information that could introduce bias or otherwise skew the result is withheld from the participants as well as investigator. Open-label trial or open trial It is a type of clinical trial in which both the researchers and participants know which treatment is being administered

International Conference on Harmonization What is ICH Evolution of ICH Need to harmonize ICH Goals ICH structure Good Clinical Practice Definition Objective Organization of GCP
13
ICH = International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use A joint initiative involving both regulators and research-based industry representatives of the EU, Japan and the USA in scientific and technical discussions of the testing procedures required to assess and ensure the safety, quality and efficacy of medicines.
14
Rising costs of healthcare , R&D . Minimum delay in making safe and effective new treatments available to patients. Rapid increase in laws, regulations and guidelines for reporting and evaluating data on safety, quality and efficacy of new medicinal products. Different regulatory systems with divergent technical requirements made it necessary for industry to duplicate time consuming and expensive test procedures for different markets.
15
For new medicinal products, single set of data should demonstrate : Efficacy (E1-E12), GCP(E6) Quality (Q1-Q6) Safety (S1-S7 & M3) Multidisciplinary (M1,M2,M4)

18
An international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording and reporting clinical trials that involve the participation of human subjects. Provides public assurance that rights, safety and well being of trial subjects are protected. Consistent with the principles that have their origin in Declaration of Helsinki and clinical trial data are credible.
19
To promote a unified standard for the EU, Japan and the US to facilitate the mutual acceptance of clinical data by the regulatory authorities in these jurisdictions.
` ` `

21
Clinical trials should be conducted in accordance with ethical principles that have their origin in DoH and that are consistent with GCP and other regulatory requirements. Before a trial is initiated foreseeable risks and inconveniences should be weighed against the anticipated benefit for the individual trial subject and society. The rights, safety and well-being of the trial subjects should prevail over the interests of science and society. The available non-clinical and clinical information on an IP should be adequate to support the trial.
22
Clinical trials should be scientifically sound, described in clear detailed protocol. A trial should be conducted in compliance with protocol that has received prior IRB/IEC approval. The medical care given to and medical decisions made on behalf of subjects should always be the responsibility of a qualified physician /dentist. Each individual involved in conducting a trial should be qualified by education, training and experience. Freely given informed consent should be obtained from every subject prior to clinical trial participation.
23
All clinical trial information should be recorded, handled and stored in a way that allows its accurate reporting , interpretation and verification. The confidentiality of records that could identify subjects should be protected. IP should be manufactured, handled and stored in accordance with applicable GMP. Systems with procedures that assure the quality of every aspect of the trial should be implemented
24
Institutional Review Board exist to safeguard the rights, safety and well being of all trial subjects. ICH-GCP Guideline for IRBs outlines the following:
25
An investigator is defined as the person responsible for the conduct of the clinical trial at the trial site. For the investigator the guideline outlines the following:

Current Scenario
`
India, in particular, is expected to play a crucial role according to McKinsey, due to the growing prevalence of lifestyle disorders similar to those in developed countries.
Statistics reveal that the prevalence of diabetes in India will rise from 2.8 percent in 2005 to 3.7 percent in 2015, cardiac disorders from 3.3 to 4.9 percent, obesity from 1.3 to 2.7 percent, and the hypertensive population to hit five crore over the next decade.
Patient Population
Cardiovascular diseases Degenerative neurological diseases Diabetes Cancer Psychiatric illnesses Gastro Intestinal Disorders Infectious Diseases Tropical diseases
8 million Epileptics 40 million Asthmatics ~34 million Diabetics 8-10 million HIV +ve 3 million Cancer patients > 2 million Cardiac deaths 1.5 million Alzheimer patients 15% Hypertensive 1% Schizophrenia patients
` `
` ` `
Annual Revenues USD 120 M with 40% growth in past year 240 international studies recruiting subjects = 1.2% of the total studies worldwide 66% of international clinical trials are Phase III 207 sites FDA registered 40,000 subjects participated in clinical trials to date (<0.02% of population)
` `
` `
` ` ` ` `
Large pool of patients Amendments with TRIPS(shift from process to product patent), ICH, GCP, WTO, WHO, etc. Incentives for patients Amended drug laws that made the processes for global studies, easier Less import duties PPP encouragement US FDA compliances Data exclusivity Low cost for trials
A significant portion of R&D budgets are used for the outsourcing services offered by the CRO industry, approximately $15 billion in 2007. This figure is expected to grow at 15% over the next seven years. As outsourced services in developing countries such as China and India move up the value chain to cover phase 1/2 trials, the total contracts value has gone up to $20 billion by 2010. Further, certain therapeutic areas within pharmaceutical development are slated for an even greater growth curve, namely the oncology class, expected to see continued growth of upwards of 21% over the next few years due to the large target market, strong unmet medical need, and overwhelming number of drugs currently in development (667 for cancer vs. 252 for CNS disorders, 206 for cardiovascular disorders, and 186 for infections). There are over 1,100 companies in the world. It is a very fragmented industry with the top 10 controlling 56.1% of the market in 2008
Challenges
`
Regulatory issues (import duty, drug laws, long start up times, data exclusivity, etc.) Educational challenges (info about GCP, ICH, FDA, WHO) Ethical concerns (IRB, SOPs)
