If two medicines are bioequivalent there is no clinically significant difference in their bioavailability. Although bioequivalence is most commonly discussed in relation to generic medicines, it is important to note that bioequivalence studies are also performed for innovator medicines in some situations such as: between early and late clinical trial formulations or between the formulations used in clinical trials and the product to be marketed for new medicines when changes in formulation have occurred after an innovator product has been approved, for example a change in one or more excipients (inactive ingredients)

In a clinical trial, participants receive specific interventions according to the research plan or protocol created by the investigators. These interventions may be medical products, such as drugs or devices; procedures; or changes to participants' behaviour, such as diet. Clinical trials may compare a new medical approach to a standard one that is already available, to a placebo that contains no active ingredients, or to no intervention. Some clinical trials compare interventions that are already available to each other. When a new product or approach is being studied, it is not usually known whether it will be helpful, harmful, or no different than available alternatives (including no intervention). The investigators try to determine the safety and efficacy of the intervention by measuring certain outcomes in the participants. Preclinical trials are early experiments performed in the lab, prior to being tested in humans. This early research helps to identify potential treatments that are unsafe or ineffective. Clinical trials used in drug development are sometimes described by phase. These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The market of clinical trials in India is predicted to reach at a CAGR of nearly 36% between 2006–2011 to gain revenues worth US $ 546 Million in future. The Prime advantage of conducting clinical trials in India is the availability of a huge patient pool that can be initiated at much lower time then it takes to recruit patients in the west.

A contract research organization (CRO) is an organization that provides support to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries in the form of research services outsourced on a contract basis. A CRO may provide such services as biopharmaceutical development, biologic assay development, commercialization, preclinical research, clinical research, clinical trials management, and pharmacovigilance. CROs also support foundations, research institutions, and universities, in addition to governmental organizations. Many CROs specifically provide clinical-study and clinical-trial support for drugs and/or medical devices. CROs that specialize in clinical-trials services can offer their clients the expertise of moving a new drug or device from its conception to FDA/EMA marketing approval, without the drug sponsor having to maintain a staff for these services.

The global contract research organizations services market is assessment to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2016 to 2021 to reach USD 41.86 Billion by 2021. Growing R&D expenditure, increased redistribute of R&D activities, growing demand for redistribute  analytical testing and clinical trial services, and development in the number of clinical trials are habitual to propel the growth of this market. However, developing regulatory pressure on CROs can hinder their market growth to a positive extent.

Assessment of the bioequivalence of generic versions of certain reference drugs is complicated by the presence of endogenous levels of said compounds which cannot be distinguished from externally derived compound levels following drug administration. If unaccounted for, the presence of endogenous compound biases towards equivalence in bioequivalence studies of these drugs. Bioequivalence assessments may be complicated further as disposition of the exogenous analogue can be subject to various endogenous processes resulting in nonlinear pharmacokinetics. To overcome these inherent biases a number of different strategies have been employed.

Clinical trials are used to evaluate potential treatments that have had some effect against disease in the lab, or in animal experiments. The whole point of a clinical trial is to find out if a treatment is effective. The aim of clinical trials is to determine if a treatment works and is safe. By comparing similar groups of people taking different treatments for the same disease it is possible to show whether any benefits are due to the treatment. Effective treatments identified in this way may then become standard practice. Since the research is experimental, those who take part in early studies may not always benefit. Once a new approach has been proven safe and effective in a clinical trial, it may become standard practice. Standard practice is a currently accepted and widely used approach and would require approval by a government body such as the FDA or EMEA.

The market of clinical trials in India is predicted to reach at a CAGR of nearly 36% between 2006–2011 to gain revenues worth US $ 546 Million in future.

Any drug that is taken undergoes a number of chemical reactions in the liver as the body attempts to neutralize foreign substances.  This set of reactions is well characterized, and a great deal of knowledge exists as to how drugs are modified as the body eliminates them.  More importantly, various chemical structures are highly toxic to biological systems, and these are also well characterized.  These constraints must also be taken under consideration as novel drugs are developed. The annual decline in the number of drugs approved for release onto the market in recent years has put pressure on you and your team to refine the drug discovery process and use more effective methods to discover a higher number of successful lead compounds.
