👉 The drug project, often referred to as a drug development initiative, is a comprehensive and multi-phase process aimed at discovering, developing, and bringing new therapeutic drugs to market. It begins with identifying potential drug candidates through research into biological pathways and diseases, followed by preclinical testing in laboratories and animals to assess safety and efficacy. If promising, these candidates move to clinical trials involving human subjects in three phases: Phase I tests safety and dosage, Phase II evaluates effectiveness and side effects, and Phase III confirms efficacy and monitors adverse reactions on a larger scale. Successful completion of these phases leads to regulatory approval, allowing the drug to be distributed and prescribed to patients. The project also involves significant financial investment, collaboration between academia, industry, and government, and ongoing research to address challenges like drug resistance and side effects.
