Abstract:
Clinical pharmacology plays an important role in drug development, including evaluation of a drug's pharmacokinetics (PK), interaction potential, exposure-response relationship, and pharmacogenomics (Table 1). Reviewers in the Office of Clinical Pharmacology at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) consider these issues to facilitate drug development and to ensure that drug products are safe and effective. This article highlights some of the important clinical pharmacology topics in the development of sex-related drug products.
