Preclinical Strategy & IND-Enabling Studies

Building the Scientific Foundation for Clinical Success

Overview

A robust preclinical program is essential for de-risking your clinical development and securing FDA authorization to begin human trials. Our team brings decades of experience in preclinical study design, GLP toxicology requirements, and pharmacology packages that satisfy FDA expectations. We work closely with your scientific team and CRO partners to ensure every study generates the data you need for a successful IND submission, while optimizing timelines and budgets.

Key Features

GLP toxicology study design and protocol review
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling support
Species selection and justification strategy
Carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicology planning
IND-enabling study sequencing and timeline optimization
CRO selection guidance and oversight

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, you should engage regulatory support before finalizing your preclinical study protocols. Early involvement—even at the lead candidate selection stage—can help you avoid designing studies that don't meet FDA requirements or miss critical endpoints. The cost of repeating a GLP tox study far exceeds the investment in upfront regulatory guidance.

Why Choose Us

  • Avoid costly study repeats with FDA-aligned protocols
  • Optimize your development timeline with strategic study sequencing
  • Build a compelling safety narrative for your IND
  • Reduce Pre-IND meeting risk with thorough preparation
  • Gain confidence from experienced regulatory insight

What Our Clients Say

"Adelphi's preclinical strategy saved us six months and significant expense. They identified gaps in our original tox plan that would have resulted in a clinical hold. Their guidance on species selection and study design was invaluable."
