Abstract
In the past decade, biopharmaceutical research and development in China has been notably boosted by government policies, regulatory initiatives and increasing investments in life sciences. With regulatory agency acting as a strong driver, model-informed drug development (MIDD) is transitioning rapidly from an academic pursuit to a critical component of innovative drug discovery and development within the country. In this article, we provided a cross-sectional summary on the current status of MIDD implementations across early and late-stage drug development in China, illustrated by case examples. We also shared insights into regulatory policy development and decision-making. Various modeling and simulation approaches were presented across a range of applications. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities of MIDD in China were discussed and compared with other regions where these practices have a more established history. Through this analysis, we highlighted the potential of MIDD to enhance drug development efficiency and effectiveness in China’s evolving pharmaceutical landscape.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for the critical analysis of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their applications in human and veterinary medicine. The Journal has a broad scope, covering the key issues for effective drug and gene delivery, from administration to site-specific delivery.
In general, the Journal publishes review articles in a Theme Issue format. Each Theme Issue provides a comprehensive and critical examination of current and emerging research on the design and development of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their application to experimental and clinical therapeutics. The goal is to illustrate the pivotal role of a multidisciplinary approach to modern drug delivery, encompassing the application of sound biological and physicochemical principles to the engineering of drug delivery systems to meet the therapeutic need at hand. Importantly the Editorial Team of ADDR asks that the authors effectively window the extensive volume of literature, pick the important contributions and explain their importance, produce a forward looking identification of the challenges facing the field and produce a Conclusions section with expert recommendations to address the issues.
