Trusted Regulatory and Product Development Expertise

Prior to being used in a human, researchers perform testing in controlled laboratory settings. Results during this phase provide researchers with important information about the potential uses in humans and attempts to reduce risk of harm in people. While it is almost never possible to eliminate risk entirely, risk management evaluation can be performed. ProPharma’s expertise spans across the following Preclinical Research competencies:

  • Translational/Preclinical Work
  • Lead Optimization
  • IND/CTA Enabling Studies
  • Program Design & Planning

Lead Optimization

As the last step in the preclinical development process, lead optimization is a crucial step for a drug candidate to move into future clinical development. We help you move through the process rapidly and with expert guidance to ensure the most promising compounds are optimized, improving the success probability for your drug candidates. Move confidently from lead optimization to IND study with our comprehensive suite of services and customizable solutions.

IND/CTA Enabling Studies

An investigational new drug (IND) and clinical trial application (CTA) must be completed in both the USA and Europe to progress a compound to first-in-human clinical trials. Successful completion of IND/CTA enabling studies provides detailed analyses for health authority review and allows for formal application submission(s) with the FDA and/or EMA. Health authority requirements vary by region, so it is critical to understand the specific needs of each before IND/CTA enabling studies are designed and planned. Gaining a full understanding of the requirements of each health authority will enable optimal resource allocation and spend.

ProPharma's proven track record with designing and performing IND/CTA preclinical studies enables your team to achieve speed and efficiency with submissions for first-in-human clinical trials.

Ensuring all of these components are considered and incorporated into a seamless strategic document plan is the first step in moving towards achieving your program’s objectives.
