Reproductive Toxicology

There are several types of non-clinical study, each with its own objectives and specific requirements for completion.

During the non-clinical safety testing step of the medicines discovery and development process, molecules undergo safety testing in animal subjects in order to determine whether or not they are acceptably safe to be tested in humans.

Some groups within the general population of a clinical study may require special study, due to the particular risks, benefits, or treatment requirements associated with them

Data from non-clinical trials is important as a predictor and decision-making tool in the medicines development process. Adequate and satisfactory non-clinical results are required before a medicine may be administered to healthy human volunteers, and non-clinical data is closely reviewed before a medicine is allowed to enter the market.
