  • Preclinical Research
  • PCR testing continues to be in the spotlight as a reliable way of screening for COVID-19 and other viruses in patients. Its amplification process enables it to detect small portions of genetic material in these viruses. But PCR can be also used for a broad range of additional applications.

    [NEW PODCAST] Microsampling: When Small Steps Lead to Big Outcomes

     

    Microsampling: When Small Steps Lead to Big Outcomes

    Join us as Dr. Donald Chace and Jeff Plomley discuss the many advantages of incorporating microsampling into your drug development program.

    Altasciences is at the forefront of microsampling, leveraging innovative technology that allows for significantly reduced blood volumes to be taken from test subjects for analysis. Our experts have developed specialized workflows and methods to take full advantage of current microsampling technology at the preclinical, clinical, and bioanalytical levels, supporting the efficient advancement of your drug development program. Our services are fully customizable, available as stand-alone, or as part of a complete development program.

    The Reality Behind Schedule I Therapeutic Development

     

    Altasciences Tackles the Issues and Challenges Associated with Schedule I Therapeutic Development

    Schedule I, or Class I (CI) drugs are currently restricted to research in the U.S., meaning that they are not approved for medical use, and are deemed at highest risk for abuse. Recent research on psychedelics and entactogens, of which are schedule I, is beginning to demonstrate potential therapeutic effects of these drugs for various medical indications. Approvals of such drugs for medical or therapeutic use will inevitably result in the rescheduling of these drugs from their current CI status. 

    In this issue of The Altascientist, we uncover the following:

    • Regulatory environment and challenges — DEA 
    • Required preclinical and clinical studies specific to Schedule I or Class I (CI) drugs 
    • Manufacturing considerations

    Download your issue

    For novel CNS-active Schedule I drugs, partner with Altasciences and benefit from our Schedule I licenses across every stage of early phase drug development. Our knowledge and operational expertise across preclinical, clinical, and manufacturing stages ensures complete continuity, data transfer, information sharing, and efficient timeline management... in real-time.

    Delays Starting Your Nonhuman Primate Studies?

     

    Want to Start Your Nonhuman Primate Studies in Q3 2022? Here’s How.

    Are you experiencing delays initiating your nonhuman primate (NHP) studies? We have the capacity, at our three preclinical sites, to start your studies two to three months following contracting, thanks to our steady supply of NHPs.  

    At Altasciences, we do not rely on a single-source NHP supply chain. We remove the stress of sourcing research animals so that you can start your studies faster, with:

    • Dedicated and diversified cynomolgus monkey supply agreements in place to allow for faster start-up timelines
    • A continuously maintained and backfilled population of hundreds of naïve NHPs at our preclinical facility 

    You can schedule newly contracted NHP studies to start in Q3 2022 immediately.

    Contact us to schedule your NHP studies today.
