GLP-Compliant Preclinical Toxicology and Safety Studies: Building the Foundation for Clinical Success

Before any drug, biologic, or medical device reaches human trials, rigorous GLP-compliant preclinical toxicology and safety studies are essential to ensure the product’s safety profile. These studies, conducted under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards, generate the data required by regulatory agencies to support Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) submissions.

What Are GLP-Compliant Preclinical Toxicology and Safety Studies?

GLP-compliant preclinical toxicology and safety studies are nonclinical evaluations that assess the potential risks of a new therapy or device. Conducted under strict regulatory standards, these studies are designed to evaluate toxicological effects, organ-specific toxicity, dose response, and other key safety parameters.

These studies are required for:

• IND/IDE submissions
• First-in-human trials
• Regulatory approvals in global markets

Why GLP Compliance is Critical

Adhering to GLP standards ensures that preclinical data are reliable, reproducible, and acceptable to global regulatory bodies such as the FDA, EMA, and PMDA. Key benefits include:

• Regulatory acceptance of study results
• Reduced risk of clinical delays due to data integrity concerns
• Improved trial readiness with well-characterized safety profiles
• Support for risk-benefit assessments throughout the development cycle
