Pharmaceutical Development

Meaning

Pharmaceutical Development is the intricate, multi-stage process of transforming a newly discovered active pharmaceutical ingredient into a safe, effective, and marketable drug product suitable for clinical use. This rigorous process involves preclinical testing, multiple phases of human clinical trials to establish efficacy and safety, formulation optimization, and subsequent regulatory approval. In the hormonal space, this applies to the creation of novel selective receptor modulators or new delivery systems for existing bioidentical hormones.
