substance for minimum 28 days and maximum
70 days before they are paired with female
animals of proven fertility in a ratio of 1:2 for
mating.
• Pairing should be continued till the detection
of vaginal plug or 10 days, whichever is earlier.

to ensure that the clinical trial is conducted and data generated, documented and reported in compliance with the protocol and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines issued by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization
to the Licensing Authority at the prescribed periodicity.
Any unexpected serious adverse event (SAE) (as defined in GCP Guidelines) occurring during a clinical trial should be communicated promptly (within 14 calendar days) by the Sponsor to the Licensing Authority and to the other Investigator(s) participating in the study
Studies conducted in Phase I, usually intended to involve one or a combination of the following objectives:-
Maximum tolerated dose
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacodynamics
Early Measurement of Drug Activity:
Phase II studies can include evaluation of potential study endpoints, therapeutic regimens and target populations
Studies in Phase III are designed to confirm the preliminary evidence accumulated in Phase II that a drug is safe and effective for use in the intended indication and recipient population. These studies should be intended to provide an adequate basis for marketing approval.
Studies in Phase III may also further explore the doseresponse relationships
Prior to conduct of Phase III studies in Indian subjects, Licensing Authority may require pharmacokinetic studies to be undertaken to verify that the data generated in Indian population is in conformity with the data already generated abroad.
The timing of paediatric studies in the new drug development program will depend on the medicinal product, the type of disease being treated, safety considerations, and the efficacy and safety of available treatments.
However, all paediatric participants should be informed to the fullest extent possible about the study in a language and in terms that they are able to understand. Where appropriate, paediatric participants should additionally assent to enrol in the study. Mature minors and adolescents should personally sign and date a separately designed written assent form.
Rs.4 lacs to a maximum of Rs.73.60 However,
expected mortality is 90 % or more within 30 days, a fixed amount of Rs. 2 lac should be given
