Pre-clinical Research, Toxicology & ADME
We provide full support to design and execute pre-clinical programs from as early as the discovery stage through pre-FIH, early and late-stage development.
Operationally we provide CRO selection, study design, placement and oversight/monitoring, data review, and reporting. Some examples of the pre-clinical support we offer are:
​
In vivo and in vitro pre-clinical studies to assess pharmacologic activity, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships and support candidate molecule selection for development
​
In vivo and in vitro pre-clinical PK and ADME
​
Investigative and GLP-regulated toxicology studies (general toxicology, reproductive, developmental and juvenile toxicology, genetic toxicology and carcinogenicity studies) to support first-in-humans (FIH) IND package, later stage clinical development and global registration needs
​
Prepare special protocol assessment documents and carcinogenicity assessment committee packages.
Pre-clinical safety support for formulation development, drug substance impurity and degradant qualification, CMC specification support, leachables/extractables and container closure system considerations including drug/device combination needs
​
Assemble and manage pathology expert working groups and peer review panels for issue evaluation and resolution concerning end organ toxicity
​
Review of existing data packages, identify gaps/issues and develop strategies to address
​
Pre-clinical program design to support all stages of development through registration and life-cycle management including drug repurposixng and/or reformulation efforts
​
Preparation of regulatory submission documents, responses to health authority questions, and contributions to Investigator Brochures
​
Prepare for, attend and/or represent client in all face-to-face meetings with Health Authorities
​
Support for Advisory Committee meetings
​
Represent client’s company to investors/venture capital
