By Laws of Clinical pharmacology and drug development
Clinical pharmacology is an essential discipline that plays a crucial role in drug development and the eventual approval of medicines for use in humans. Developing and testing new drugs requires rigorous evaluation of their safety, efficacy, and pharmacological properties. This is where clinical pharmacologists come in; they are responsible for designing studies to test drug safety, tolerability, and efficacy in human subjects. The Clinical Pharmacology Subcommittee (SAC) of the Advisory Committee for Clinical Pharmacology (ACCAP) provides strategic guidance to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on issues related to clinical pharmacology and drug development.
