pre-clinical studies

Designing and conducting appropriate preclinical studies is essential for advancing products or technologies from the development stage to clinical trials. Time and resources are valuable assets during this phase, and using them effectively is crucial. Performing compliant preclinical studies not only saves time and resources but also enhances the likelihood of regulatory approval for clinical trials. Since each product and technology is unique, regulations vary based on product type and mode of action; a one-size-fits-all approach does not apply.

Understanding and executing essential preclinical research and development (R&D) studies enables products to move toward clinical assessment and licensing applications. SOMA’s Preclinical Solutions offer expert consultation in experimental design, exploring pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, tumorigenicity, and toxicity profiles, along with ADME studies to support clinical trial designs for first-in-human testing.
