Resumé

This investigation is a retrospective analysis of the adverse events (AEs) associated with oral administration of new chemical entities (NCEs)for the  first time in humans. We gathered data from 14 single- and multiple-dosings of FIM NCE studies conducted in our center over a period of 5 years. In total, 452 subjects were dosed. A total of 2280 doses were administered. Active medication was given on 1763 dosing occasions and placebo was given on 517 dosing. 74.9% of AEs of active and 95.6% of AEs on placebo were mild. The most common AE (incidence of more than 2%) on active medication and placebo were headache, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, dry mouth, fatigue, tachycardia, insomnia, abnormal dreams and abdominal pain. Except for nausea and diarrhea, which was more in active group, there was no statistically significant difference for other AEs between active and placebo.
