The Value Of Robust Exploratory Toxicology Testing Prior To Pivotal GLP Studies

Over the years, the pharmaceutical industry has made steady progress in improving the safety of drugs in development. Consequently, in 2015, only 14 percent of Phase III studies failed due to safety (compared to 55 percent for efficacy), down from 21 percent in 2013. In other words, “efforts to remove unsafe agents earlier in the development cycle are paying off.” Much of this success in small molecules relates to careful and methodical work done well before the Investigational New Drug (IND) application.

Intraperitoneal (IP) dose administration: Successful Testing in Dogs Using IP Catheters with Access Ports

Intraperitoneal (IP) dose administration is the preferred method of dosing in the treatment of certain cancers as well as for peritonitis. Unfortunately, replicating IP administration in dogs in order to evaluate drug toxicity has posed multiple, serious challenges, rendering the approach unworkable in the laboratory. It is possible, however, to overcome these challenges by using a modified catheter with an access port to administer the investigational product. Frontage Labs has successfully applied this technique in dosing dogs as part of a study of a chemotherapy drug for ovarian cancer, demonstrating the viability of this method.
