Abstract

Clinical pharmacology occupies a pivotal position in the continuum of drug development, playing a vital role in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and optimization of pharmaceutical interventions. This abstract provides an overview of the indispensable contributions of clinical pharmacology throughout the drug development process. From earlyphase trials assessing pharmacokinetics and safety profiles to pivotal Phase II/III trials establishing efficacy and regulatory submission, clinical pharmacologists navigate complex scientific and regulatory landscapes. Additionally, post-marketing surveillance and pharmacovigilance efforts ensure continued safety and effectiveness of drugs in realworld settings. Through integration of scientific rigor, regulatory compliance, and patient-centered approaches, clinical pharmacology drives medical innovation, enhances therapeutic outcomes, and improves public health. This abstract underscores the indispensable role of clinical pharmacology in advancing drug development and shaping the future of medicine.
