Drug discovery

Make go/no-go decisions for candidate selection and optimize your lead candidate.

Explore Discovery

Preclinical IND/CTA

For investigative new drug (IND) and clinical trial application (CTA) submissions, conduct the required GLP-level battery of studies to gain approval to advance into clinical testing phases.

Learn more

Late-stage nonclinical

For new drug application (NDA) or biologics license application (BLA) submissions, assess the potential chronic, reproductive, carcinogenicity and genotoxicity risks as part of your final submission dossier for market approval.

Future vision

Drug discovery

At the earliest stage of bench research, there are thousands of potential possibilities. This is when you need quick data to make smart go/no-go decisions. With our extensive experience, fast starts and rapid data delivery, you can expeditiously discover the best candidate(s) to move forward.

Preclinical IND/CTA

When your top candidate is identified, you’re ready to complete your IND/CTA program to transition your asset from bench to clinic. From our core battery of safety testing to specialized routes, models and technologies, you’ll find a comprehensive portfolio of solutions to complete your IND/CTA data package with synchronized precision. 

  • Experienced team conducting thousands of studies and more than 130 integrated IND/CTA programs per year
  • Comprehensive suite of GLP services: toxicology, pharmacology, metabolism and bioanalysis
  • All routes of administration—including specialized routes in inhalation, infusion, intrathecal and ocular
  • Specialized study models: large and small animal, cell and gene therapies, in silico or ex silico (i.e., organ-on-a-chip technology)
  • Digital data and visualization—from SEND datasets with automated delivery to digital pathology for peer review and high-volume conversion for archival scanning

Late-stage nonclinical

Once your drug candidate has advanced into the clinic, late-stage nonclinical studies should be planned and initiated so final data reports coincide with your NDA/BLA submission timelines. This is when study design, advanced animal welfare systems, regulatory guidance and a team well versed in long-term, complex studies will have the most impact on success.

  • Comprehensive late-stage portfolio: chronic, reproductive, juvenile, carcinogenicity, radiolabeled ADME, impurities qualification, environmental risk assessment
  • Global centers of excellence designed for long-term studies: EU housing, welfare AI monitoring and a history of consistent on-time delivery
  • Deep experience in regulatory strategy and guidance for late-stage development and registration
  • Nonclinical regulatory expertise to develop rationale for nonclinical waivers or overcome unexpected challenges that arise during your drug development pathway
