Clinical
Pharmacology

Our work focuses on the conception and planning of clinical pharmacological trials, their approval and testing processes, as well as their practical implementation and evaluation. Apart from the traditional areas of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, it covers the inclusion of biomarkers in clinical trials and the consideration of statistical and pharmacometric methods in the planning and evaluation of trials.

Researchers and developers from universities, (bio)pharmaceutical industry, contract research organisations, authorities and ethics committees come together in the AGAH. The interfaces to the preclinical stage and the later phases of clinical trials are not excluded but consciously and actively integrated into our academic work.

We started our work as a national organisation over 25 years ago and have moved with the times – today research is international, cross-border and varied; for example, the AGAH is a founding member of EUFEMED (European Federation of Exploratory Medicines Development), a consortium of specialist organisations with the same orientation for discussing and promoting early-stage medicinal product development at a European level.

Progress through exchange, dialogue and cooperation - this is how AGAH sees itself today and in the future.
