Biologics & Gene Therapy 𝘐𝘯 𝘝𝘪𝘷𝘰 Services
In vivo studies using preclinical models are critical throughout biologic development, from early PK/PD studies to GLP-approved safety and efficacy programs. Maximising insight requires expertise in the models, surgical techniques and endpoint assays to provide results you can rely on.
The USFDA recommends preclinical animal studies for assessing various attributes of biologic products, including proof-of-concept (POC) studies, pharmacology and distribution, safety and toxicology and efficacy (Preclinical Assessment of Investigational Cellular and Gene Therapy Products, 2013).
Specific guidance on which animal models are suitable for different studies is often left to the sponsor, but can have a huge impact of the validity and usefulness of results.
Absorption Systems offers the client a wide range of support for in vivo animal studies for research and clinical applications. We offer:
- flexible plans for managing studies, from facility rental to end-to-end design and delivery
- specialist routes-of-entry services, such as ocular or dermal biologics
- custom animal models from a range of rodent and non-rodent species
