Development of novel contraceptive methods for men and women

CDP使用研发合同来实现新方法开发的目标。 该计划评估尚未上市的新药，这些新药必须根据现行的药品生产质量管理规范（cGMP）合成，并符合化学，生产和控制的所有监管标准。 CDP拥有一个合同化学合成设施，以生产该计划所需的新药。潜在的新药物和设备需要毒理学测试来证明安全性。IND使能临床前研究必须按照符合监管标准的药物非临床研究质量管理规范（GLP）进行。人体试验需要在cGMP下配制和释放药物，并进行涵盖试验持续时间的稳定性研究。CDP拥有一个生物试验机构，以进行首次人体研究和后期临床试验的长期毒理学研究所需的临床前评价和批次制备。 新产品的临床评价在CDP项目管理下的避孕临床试验网络（CCTN）中进行。CCTN评估新的避孕药物和设备对女性和男性的安全性和有效性。新实体的临床试验结果构成了通过开发推进候选药物和器械的基础，目标是获得FDA监管批准。CCTN由合格机构（包括国内和国际研究中心）的顶级临床研究人员组成，他们具有进行从首次人体试验到第三阶段避孕评估的所有阶段的专业知识。临床研究中心是下一代实地研究人员的培训基地。

CDP uses R&D contracts to achieve the goal of new method development. The Program evaluates new drugs that are not commercially available and must be synthesized under current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) that comply with all regulatory standards of Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls. CDP maintains a contracted Chemical Synthesis Facility to produce novel drugs required for the program. Potential new drugs and devices require toxicology testing to demonstrate safety. IND-enabling preclinical studies must be performed under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) meeting regulatory standards. Human trials require formulation and release of agents under cGMP, and stability studies covering the duration of the trial. CDP maintains a Biological Testing Facility to perform preclinical evaluation and batch preparation required for first-in-human studies and longer toxicology studies for later Phase clinical trials. Clinical evaluation of the novel products occurs in the Contraceptive Clinical Trials Network (CCTN) under the Program Management of the CDP. The CCTN evaluates safety and efficacy of new contraceptive drugs and devices for women and for men. Results from clinical trials on new entities form the basis for advancing candidate drugs and devices through development with the goal of FDA regulatory approval. The CCTN comprises top clinical investigators at qualified institutions, including both domestic and international sites, with expertise to conduct all phases of contraceptive evaluation, from first-in-human through Phase III. The clinical sites serve as the training ground for the next generation of investigators in the field.
