Concept and research content of drug safety assessment

Drug safety evaluation is to clarify the toxicity and potential hazards of drugs through animal tests and observations of the population to determine whether they can enter the market or clarify the safe use conditions to minimize their harmful effects and protect human health.

The research contents of drug safety evaluation include pre-clinical safety evaluation, clinical safety evaluation and post-marketing safety re-evaluation.

Purpose of preclinical safety assessment

Support human clinical trials and guide the design of clinical trials in each phase (selection of test population, dosage, dosage regimen, and selection of indicators for monitoring drug safety and efficacy) 2. Maximize the benefit/risk ratio of drug development

Discover any potentially unknown toxicity and target organs

Limitations or uncertainties of drug safety assessment animal experiments

Limitations

Humans and laboratory animals have different sensitivity to drug reactions.

Animals cannot describe the toxic effects of subjective sensations (pain, fatigue, dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, etc.);

Animal experiments can observe the signs of animals, but not the symptoms of animals.

Uncertainty The toxicity of drugs at high doses may be inconsistent with that of low doses. The number of experimental animals used in the evaluation of drug safety is limited, and there is uncertainty in the extrapolation from the results of a small number of animal experiments to the use of drugs by a large number of people. Subjects have different health indexes and different susceptibility to drug reactions. (The experimental animals are all laboratory-cultivated, using adult healthy animals with a single reaction; while the population is of different races and races, including elderly frail and sick individuals, there are differences in susceptibility to drug reactions)

The safety evaluation agency is a fundamental issue for new drug research. Having a new drug security evaluation agency that can meet the GLP standard makes it a concrete manifestation of the basic capabilities of new drug research. At present, there are 1702 non-clinical drug research institutions in China, of which more than 300 are engaged in or plan to engage in drug safety evaluation research. However, only a few provinces and cities have passed the national GLP certification, which marks the above-mentioned few provinces and cities. It will form its own system in the research of new drugs and has formed an absolute advantage.
