IND-Enabling Toxicology

The IND-enabling toxicology package that supports a successful first-in-human submission — designed against ICH M3(R2) and FDA expectations, sized to your molecule, indication, and clinical plan.

What It Is

The right studies. The right doses. The first time.

Most IND clinical holds trace back to toxicology gaps: missing studies, unjustified doses, or evidence that doesn't match the proposed clinical plan. Our IND-enabling toxicology service builds the safety package that supports your IND first-time — anchored on ICH M3(R2), scaled to your indication and exposure profile, and aligned with current FDA thinking before you commission a single GLP study.

01

IND Readiness Gap Analysis

Map your existing nonclinical data against ICH M3(R2) and FDA expectations. Identify the studies you actually need — and the ones you don't.

02

Repeat-Dose Study Design

Two-species repeat-dose strategy scaled to clinical duration, or biologic equivalent under ICH S6(R1) where applicable.

03

Genotoxicity Battery

ICH S2(R1)-aligned genotoxicity strategy: in vitro / in vivo design, follow-up testing, and impurity considerations.

04

Safety Pharmacology

ICH S7A core battery — cardiovascular, CNS, respiratory — integrated into your repeat-dose plan to reduce study count.

05

Dose Justification & FIH

NOAEL-driven first-in-human starting dose, MABEL where required, and the integrated safety narrative that defends both.

06

Pre-IND Meeting Prep

Briefing document authoring, FDA question preparation, and Q&A rehearsal — so the pre-IND meeting de-risks the submission.

Who It's For

IND-enabling toxicology, sized to your program.

Small-Molecule Programs

Preparing for first IND with NCE risk — full ICH M3(R2) package planning.

Biologic Developers

ICH S6(R1)-aligned strategy, including platform precedent and immunogenicity considerations.

Section 505 & Bridging

Where existing nonclinical data exists, design the targeted bridge studies to support the modified product.

Post-Hold & Resubmission

Programs facing a clinical hold or RTA — rapid root-cause and remediation strategy.

How We Work

From safety question to defensible IND.

Step 01

Discovery & Review

Understand the molecule, intended clinical plan, and existing nonclinical data.

Step 02

Pathway Assessment

Identify the IND pathway and the toxicology evidence it requires.

Step 03

Tox Strategy

Design the focused GLP toxicology and safety pharmacology plan.

Step 04

Submission Readiness

Pre-IND meeting prep and IND module 4 authoring.
