ISSUE NO. 24 — Shortening Drug Development Timelines with Asian Ethnobridging Trials
Conducting ethnobridging studies locally, during Phase I clinical trials, in the target population, can reduce drug development timelines by the number of years typically needed to complete clinical development in the target region, as compared with North America or Europe. A Phase I ethnobridging strategy allows you to recruit patients in “global” safety and efficacy trials (Phases II and III) without repeating Phase I development in that region and population.
In Issue 24 of The Altascientist:
- The importance of Asian ethnobridging in clinical research
- Bridging requirements per the ICH E5 Guidance
- Strategic program considerations per the ICH E7 Guidance
- Accelerating Asian drug development
- Language requirements for global clinical trials
- Altasciences’ expertise and experience with ethnobridging

Test Your Knowledge of Liquid-Filled Capsules
Thanks to updated screening methods and bioavailability enhancements, poorly soluble molecules comprise 70% to 80% of the small molecule products entering the drug development pipeline today. Since poorly soluble drugs are difficult to formulate as tablets, formulation scientists are looking to two-piece, liquid-filled hard-shell capsules as a solution.
