approaches to surgery or 
radiotherapy or procedures to 
improve the diagnosis of disease

patient.
Phase 1 protocol
PHASES of Human research 
Phase I: Establish safety, PK studies 
Phase II : Establish efficacy ,dose ranging 
Phase III : Randomized comparison of treatments 
Phase IV : Long term surveillance in broader 
population 
6
INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG (IND) 
APPLICATION 
IND application is the result of a 
successful preclinical development 
program

a sponsor advances to the next stage of 
drug development known as clinical trials 
(human trials)
 When a new compound passes preclinical 
pharmacological screening ,manufacturer 
files 
 Investigational New 
Drug (IND) with the DCGI 
 Testing in humans is done only after 
completion ofsufficient acute and 
subacute animal toxicity studies. 
8

11
New drug development 
 Chemistry(discovery) 
(Identification, Isolation, Purification) 
 Preclinical studies ( Animals) 
 Clinical trials ( Human) 
12
Preclinical studies(animals) 
Pharmacodynamic studies 
Pharmacokinetic studies 
Systemic toxicity studies 
Local toxicity studies 
13
Relevance of animal studies 
Pre-clinical toxicology studies will 
generate basically three types of findings 
1. Overt toxicity 
e.g. Clinical signs, macro and microscopic 
lesions 
2. Surrogate markers of toxicity 
e.g., Hematological/LFT or serum liver enzyme 
levels/urine tests, etc. 
3. Exaggerated pharmacodynamic effects 
14
Relevance of animal studies 
 Minimum lethal dose (MLD): minimum dose 
that produce 10% lethality (LD10) 
 Threshold toxic dose (TTD): the lowest dose 
that produce an adverse effect 
 Maximal tolerated dose (MTD) 
The highest daily dose of a chemical that does 
not cause overt toxicity in a ninety-day study in 
laboratory mice or rats 
 Therapeutic index : LD50/ED50 
15
Relevance of animal studies 
 No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) is the greatest 
concentration or amount of a substance, found by 
experiment or observation, which causes no 
detectable adverse alteration of morphology, 
functional capacity, growth, development, or life 
span of the target organism under defined 
conditions of exposure 
16
Calculation of Human equivalent 
dose(HED) 
HED = Animal NOAEL x (Wanimal / Whuman)1-b 
where W is the weight in Kg and b is a correction 
factor (equal to 0.67) used to convert mg/kg to mg/m2 
 For example, if the NOAEL of an investigational drug in relevant species 
(monkey of 3 kg) is 50 mg/kg, then 
HED = 50 mg/kg x (3 kg/65 kg)0.33 
= 50 mg/kg x 0.3624 
= 18 mg/m2 
This value should be divided by a safety factor
Phase I trial 
Goal 
 How well the drug is tolerated in small 
number of subjects 
 Toxicity screening and determination of 
Maximum Tolerated Dose(MTD) 
18
Maximum tolerated dose 
 Highest possible dose with an acceptable 
rate of dose limiting toxicities(DLT) 
 Acceptable toxicities set by the 
investigators 
19
Phase I Study 
 Phase IA : on Healthy subjects 
 Phase IB : Patients / failure on 
conventional therapy 
 The total number of subjects included 
varies with the drug, but is generally in 
the range of 20 to 80 
 Dose escalation study 
 Efficacy is measured but not the main 
objective 
20
Phase I Cont… 
 Usually nonblind or "open label" 
 Alternatively, they may be "blinded" 
and placebo-controlled. 
 Conducted in centers having necessary 
facilities to closely observe and 
monitor the subject 
 Carried out by investigators trained in 
clinical pharmacology 
 May be carried out in one or two 
centers. 
21
Phase I Study 
Determination of dose 
 Starting dose will be selected based on preclinical 
toxicity and dose response curve. 
1/10th of the LD10 in rodents, 
or 
1/3rd of the minimal toxic dose in large animals 
 Expressed as mg/m2 
 Maximum tolerated dose will be the one incremental 
dose less than dose producing unacceptable toxicity 
22
Traditional 3+3 design 
Patients enrolled in groups of 3 each for each dose 
level 
None of 3 experience DLT( Dose Limiting Toxicities) 
the dose level 
1 of 3 experience DLT : enroll additional 3 subjects 
>1 of 3 experience DLT: Stop , MTD was the previous 
one 
If <2/ 6 experience DLT : dose 
If 2 or more out of 6 experience DLT: MTD was the 
previous one 
23
Design a protocol for phase 
I trial for a new molecule 
which is found to have a 
bronchodilator action in 
animal studies.

 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 
(COPD) is a disease of increasing public 
health importance around the world.It is 
the fourth leading cause of death in the 
United States. 
 Irreversible inflammatory response to an 
inhaled environmental stimuli. 
 Bronchodilators produce improvement in 
airflow in patients with COPD ,whose 
lungs have become hyperinflated. 
27
