Biopharmaceutical studies
These studies relate to four stages, called ADME for
short:
h t ADME
1. Absorption: how the drug enters the body and
reaches the bloodstream
2. Distribution: how the drug travels through the body
3 Metabolism: the way in which the drug is changed by

the body
4. Elimination: how the drug leaves the body
The amount of drug that reaches the bloodstream and
the speed
p
at which it takes p
place is called its
bioavailability.
Bioavailability is generally measured by means of
phrmokinetic plasma studies of drug concentration
against time.

Assuming that the pre-clinical studies, particularly the

results, the
company will seek permission from the appropriate
regulatory body to carry out clinical studies
The extent of the trials will depend on the nature of the
drug and its proposed application
The trials are generally carried out in a number of stages

Phase I Studies
How drug affects body of healthy individual?
How person's body processes, responds to, and affected by
drug?
Low doses and high doses of drug usually studied
By the end of Phase I, as a result, the safe dosage range in
volunteers may be known
This information will determine whether the drug proceeds
