Drug Development Timeline
The long road from discovery to market for a new drug: research, preclinical, three clinical phases, approval and launch.
Drawing diagram…
What this diagram shows
- Clinical phases overlap little because each needs the previous results
- Regulatory review starts only after Phase 3 data
- Manufacturing scale-up runs in parallel with Phase 3
Prompt used
Gantt chart of a typical new drug programme: discovery and lead optimisation, preclinical studies, IND filing, Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, manufacturing scale-up in parallel, NDA/marketing authorisation submission and review, and launch.
