Regulatory Roadmap for the development of human medicinal Products (Europe focus)

Just click on the various stages below to reveal the information.

	Pre-Clinical Testing
DESCRIPTION	Research designed to fulfill the requirements of the non-clinical safety section of the common technical document (ICH M4S). Safety evaluation of candidate Investigational Products (New chemical entities and Biologics), known as test articles, governed by Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). Pre-clinical testing is performed to GLP and covers pivotal toxicology & safety pharmacology studies. This phase continues once clinical trials have commenced to establish the long term safety of new chemical entities. Non-clinical evaluation of drug safety usually consists of standard animal toxicology studies. These studies usually include assessment of drug exposure, primarily parent drug plasma concentration. Generally, drug plasma concentration and systemic exposure in the non-clinical studies are compared with systemic exposure in humans to assess the potential risks suggested by non-clinical findings and guide monitoring in clinical trials. Pre-clinical testing is done to evaluate the properties of a test article to either determine its characteristics or to evaluate the effect that it has upon a test system. This involves both in-vitro and in-vivo testing.
