Clinical CROs in Clinical Research Randomized clinical trials are the gold-standard of evidence-based medicine, representing the culmination of the long, arduous drug development pipeline. The two broadest categories of drug development can be separated into the preclinical and clinical research stages.

In 2024 alone, almost 50 antibody drug candidates are anticipated to enter regulatory review, the majority of which are mAbs. Aside from the advent of complex antibody-based drugs, the industry is facing some additional changes which are shaping drug development. 1975 Aug;256(5517):495–7. Antibodies to watch in 2024.

The current landscape of protein drug development is characterised by accelerated timelines where new drugs are approved in months rather than years. Hence, in many cases an earlier IND may be prevented by the timely provision of representative Drug Substance (DS) to execute such toxicology studies.

The guidance looks very different from the draft that was published in February 2020, including changes in the scope of the guidance, its sponsorship, and the removal of all mentions of nonhuman primates for animal testing. Nonclinical studies encompass much more than just animal studies.
