Development Programs

Altasciences can provide a customized, end-to-end pathway for your drug development programs, from lead candidate selection through early phase clinical trials. Our platform enables biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to work with a single, integrated partner to develop molecules through to human proof of concept. Minimizing handoffs throughout the process results in faster timelines and reduced costs.

Our teams of toxicologists, clinical pharmacologists, doctors, bioanalytical principle investigators, and technical staff have a knowledge base that spans a wide range of compounds, study types, therapeutic areas, and routes of administration. We welcome all questions regarding guidance and services you may require to move your compound through the many milestones of early drug development.

Your Altasciences Program Manager will serve as a single point of contact for the entire life of your program, helping your test article advance from one milestone to the next and proactively sharing your preferences across all of our operational groups. Our mantra is: Tell us once…

MOVING YOUR SMALL MOLECULE OR BIOLOGIC TOWARD REGULATORY APPROVAL

The process from lead molecule identification to approval can be long and complicated. Altasciences is here to help streamline and accelerate you through it.

This chart is not to scale and reflects one example of a development path and sequence followed; actual sequence, length and types of studies may vary based on indication, molecule and program needs. All development programs need to be customized depending on the molecule, mechanism of action and indication. However, for biologics the studies required for each program differs to an even greater extent due to the need for relevant models and the ADME for biologics being so different than small molecules. Please Contact us to learn more about the different requirements.

INTEGRATED SERVICES

Preclinical Services

Our Preclinical Services include in vitro and in vivo studies that span lead optimization during discovery to non-clinical studies in rodent and non-rodent species that support drug development through Phase III. We provide a wide range of toxicology and laboratory services that meet global regulatory standards, and are experts at bridging safety assessments for entry into human trials.
