    Adversity Level Determination in Nonclinical Studies

    This complimentary webinar offers expert insight into how data is interpreted on toxicology studies. More specifically, we provide you with an insider’s view on common practices and guidances followed by contract research organizations to characterize adversity. 

    Case studies included:

    • Overt toxicity, exaggerated pharmacology, and changes in various markers of toxicity in the context of other safety endpoints
    • How to approach data interpretation on toxicology studies to classify adverse vs. non-adverse effects

    In drug development, toxicology evaluates and examines adverse effects of an investigational product on a living organism to determine its initial safety and dose-specific effects. But did you know that toxicology is not limited to drug development? Toxicology is a branch of science that deals with toxins and poisons, and their effects and treatment; other types of toxicology include forensic toxicology, environmental toxicology, food toxicology, and veterinary toxicology.

    Take this quiz to discover how much you know (or don’t know) about toxicology.

    Faster Start to Nonhuman Primate Studies to Meet Planned IND Filing Timelines

     

    Many of you are experiencing significant delays (up to 12 months!) in initiating nonhuman primate (NHP) studies. With Altasciences, the time-to study initiation can be as short as 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 late Q1 and early Q2 2022 immediately.

    Contact us to schedule your NHP studies today.

    A Step-by-step Guide for Meeting Your Safety Assessment Start Dates

     

    Careful planning and financial commitment can make the difference between starting your safety testing studies on time or experiencing significant delays.

    Once you have determined your desired safety assessment start date, we recommend taking the following steps to ensure you start your studies on time, and on your terms.

    • 12-18 months before: 
      • Schedule a meeting with the FDA to go over your safety assessment plan.
    • 9-12 months before: 
      • Get quotations from your preferred CRO partners. 
      • After receiving the proposals, discuss your program with an expert toxicologist to ensure you captured all the required studies.
    • 6-12 months before (depending on research animal species and study type):
      • Choose a CRO partner and sign a contract. 

    Reach out to us today so we can go over these steps together and ensure your study starts on time.

    Psychedelics — A New Era of Modern Medicine

     

    The potential use of psychedelics for the treatment of various CNS indications is filling the drug development pipeline. Researchers in the field are examining modified chemical structures and analogs to psychedelics, to demonstrate efficacy and mitigate potential side effects.

    In this podcast, Altasciences’ and DevelRx’s scientific experts examine the preclinical, clinical, and regulatory requirements and strategies that second-generation psychedelics may utilize to differentiate their pharmacological profile. We examine how to demonstrate efficacy and generate safety data that may distinguish psychedelics from first generation candidates.
