La recherche thérapeutique est réalisée sur l'homme par des chercheurs médecins et pharmaciens qui travaillent le plus souvent à l'hôpital. Elle fait suite à la recherche fondamentale et à l'expérimentation animale : la recherche fondamentale permet de comprendre les mécanismes de la maladie et de trouver des moyens (médicaments ou autres) pour bloquer ces mécanismes. C'est la recherche thérapeutique qui permet, ensuite, de savoir si ces moyens sont efficaces contre la maladie. L'expérimentation animale permet de «sélectionner», sur un temps assez court, des nouveaux médicaments efficaces et de «se débarrasser» des médicaments qui s'avèrent être trop toxiques. Seule la recherche thérapeutique permettra ensuite d'étudier chez l'homme les médicaments les plus efficaces et, a priori, les moins toxiques. 2, record 1, French, - recherche%20th%C3%A9rapeutique

Every year, dozens of new drug products come on the market in Canada. For many of the new drugs made available to the public, we have to decide if the medication should be added to the Pharmacare drug benefit program. Before a new drug is considered for Pharmacare coverage, the manufacturer must send a drug submission to the Manitoba Drug Standards and Therapeutics Committee. This information includes reviews of scientific literature, comparable drug therapies, anticipated drug costs, and therapeutic benefits. 1, record 5, English, - Manitoba%20Drug%20Standards%20and%20Therapeutics%20Committee

Chaque année, des dizaines de nouveaux produits pharmaceutiques sont introduits sur le marché canadien. Pour la plupart de ceux offerts au public, la question se pose : faut-il ajouter ce nouveau produit à la liste des médicaments admissibles du Régime d'assurance-médicaments? Avant qu'un nouveau produit puisse être couvert par la Régime d'assurance-médicaments, le fabricant doit présenter une demande au Comité responsable du choix des médicaments et des normes pharmaceutiques du Manitoba. Celle-ci doit fournir les renseignements suivants : les études publiées dans la littérature scientifique, les thérapies comparables, les coûts à prévoir ainsi que les bienfaits thérapeutiques du produit. 2, record 5, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20responsable%20du%20choix%20des%20m%C3%A9dicaments%20et%20des%20normes%20pharmaceutiques%20du%20Manitoba
