For developing a new medicine it will take nearly 10-15 years and on average and costs an average of $2.6 billion. In discovery procedure comprises the initial stages of research, which are intended to recognize an investigational drug and perform primary tests in the lab. This first stage of the process takes three to six years. By the end, investigators hope to identify a capable drug aspirant to further study in the lab and in animal models, and then in people. These developments offer great ability, but also add complexity to the R&D process. In order to ensure the safety and efficacy of personalized therapies that are used along with diagnostics, clinical trial protocols must be improved and increased.

Researchers discover new drugs through insights into a disease process that allow researchers to design a product to stop or reverse the effects of the disease. Once researchers identify a promising compound for development, they conduct experiments to gather information on how it is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted, best dosage, Side effects, how it interacts with other drugs and treatments and its effectiveness as compared with similar drugs.
Bringing one new drug to the public typically costs a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company on average more than $1 billion and takes an average of 10 to 15 years. Each drug undergoes a stringent process of discovery, development, approval and finally, public use.

Bioavailability and Bioequivalence are designed to FDA evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of a product .BA for a given formulation provides an estimate of the relative fraction of the orally 94 administered doses that is absorbed into the systemic circulation. Bioavailability and Bioequivalence mainly focus on the release of a drug substance from a drug. Several in-vitro and in-vivo methods are used to measure the bioavailability of the drugs. For BA and BE studies a single-dose, fasting study be performed. BA studies provide other useful pharmacokinetic information related to distribution, elimination, the effects of nutrients on absorption of the drug, dose proportionality, linearity in pharmacokinetics of the active moieties and, where appropriate, inactive moieties.

Parenteral Drug Delivery has been developed alternative to the normal route of administration. The success depends on clinical as well as on patient compliance. This route is mainly used for the drugs having poor aqueous solubility and this route improves the patient compliance and decreases the systemic availability. Chitosan is used as micro particles, liposomes, granules, and gels for oral and parenteral drug delivery. Parenteral administration route is the most common for delivery of active drug substances with a narrow therapeutic index. This route of administration may cause less cardiac attacks and respiratory attacks. Parenteral delivery still remains the major mode of administration for protein and peptide therapeutics

A new class of drug delivery device which can inject doses far larger than today’s syringes or auto injectors has developed i.e., Bolus Injectors having the capability to deliver more than 1 ml of a drug subcutaneously in a simple, reliable, and inexpensive manner. In the last 12 years, drugs have been delivered using self-regulated and Nano-technology systems. The manufacturers need to consider clinical guidelines and regulatory requirements governing combination products also differ from both pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
To change that perception, the FDA last year announced $40 million to a new Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC) charged with simplifying the process of designing and testing new technologies. With input from industry, government, and other nonprofit organizations, public-private MDIC will prioritize the regulatory science needs of the medical device community and fund projects to streamline the process.
