INTRODUCTION AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
This course addresses postgraduates in life sciences interested in early clinical development of medicinal products. Two training parts of 3 days each provide a concise overview on Human Pharmacology / Translational Medicine spanning from non-clinical pharmacology and toxicology over first-in-man studies to proof-of-concept clinical trials.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of Part 1, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding / knowledge of the following:
- principal steps in drug development – from compound selection to marketing application and beyond
- pertinent issues involved in the undertaking of early clinical research
- specific aspects of how to set-up and conduct early phase clinical trials

- integration of pertinent available scientific information into an IB and a clinical trial protocol
- principles of trial design, protocol submission and clinical conduct
- selection of appropriate trial population
- most common early phase clinical trials and their specific requirements
- assessment and evaluation of safety data from clinical trials
- relevance of formulation properties and in vitro characteristics of the trial medication for design and planning of an early phase clinical trial
