INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS
Scope & Guideline
Elevating clinical practice with evidence-based insights.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:
The journal publishes research on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs, as well as their pharmacological effects, highlighting studies that explore how various factors influence drug behavior in the body. - Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Optimization:
There is a strong emphasis on studies that assess therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) practices to optimize medication efficacy and minimize toxicity, particularly in vulnerable populations such as those with renal impairment or undergoing chemotherapy. - Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety:
The journal includes articles on post-marketing surveillance, adverse drug reactions, and safety profiles of medications, underscoring the importance of pharmacovigilance in clinical practice. - Bioequivalence and Drug Formulation Studies:
Research on the bioequivalence of drug formulations and their implications for therapeutic efficacy is a core area, reflecting the journal's commitment to ensuring that generic and branded medications provide similar therapeutic outcomes. - Impact of Comorbidities on Pharmacotherapy:
The journal frequently publishes studies examining how comorbid conditions affect drug therapy, especially in populations with complex health needs, such as the elderly or those with chronic diseases. - Network Pharmacology and Traditional Medicine:
Emerging themes include the use of network pharmacology to understand drug interactions and the efficacy of traditional medicine, particularly in the context of integrative approaches to therapy.
Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Treatment and Drug Interactions:
A significant increase in research related to COVID-19, including drug interactions and treatment efficacy, underscores the pandemic's impact on clinical pharmacology and the urgency for effective therapeutic strategies. - Real-World Evidence and Patient-Centered Research:
There is a growing emphasis on real-world evidence studies that assess drug efficacy and safety in diverse patient populations, moving beyond controlled clinical trial settings to understand practical therapeutic outcomes. - Network Pharmacology and AI in Drug Research:
The utilization of network pharmacology and artificial intelligence to analyze drug interactions and therapeutic targets is gaining traction, indicating a modern approach to drug discovery and personalized medicine. - Polypharmacy and Drug-Drug Interactions:
Research focused on polypharmacy, particularly in geriatric populations, is on the rise, reflecting concerns about adverse drug interactions and the need for careful medication management. - Therapeutic Strategies for Chronic Diseases:
Emerging studies are increasingly addressing therapeutic strategies for managing chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions, highlighting the need for tailored pharmacotherapy in these populations.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Pharmacology Studies:
There appears to be a waning interest in basic pharmacological studies that do not directly translate into clinical applications, as the journal increasingly prioritizes research with immediate clinical relevance. - Non-Clinical Trial Research:
The publication of studies that focus solely on non-clinical trial methodologies or theoretical frameworks has decreased, indicating a preference for clinical trial data and real-world evidence. - Historical Drug Use Studies:
Research focusing on historical trends in drug use or retrospective analyses that do not incorporate current clinical guidelines or practices is less frequently featured, suggesting a pivot towards more contemporary, applicable research. - Single-Agent Pharmacotherapy:
There is a noticeable decline in studies examining the effects of single-agent therapies, as the journal increasingly highlights multi-drug regimens and combination therapies that reflect real-world clinical practice. - Pharmacogenomics:
Although pharmacogenomics remains important, there has been a relative decrease in the number of studies dedicated solely to genetic factors influencing drug response, as more integrated approaches are favored.
