Preclinical Regulatory Strategy

Preclinical evidence isn't an end in itself — it exists to support a regulatory and commercial story. We design preclinical regulatory strategy as a single integrated plan: the studies you'll run, the questions they answer, and the FDA decisions they unlock.

What It Is

A roadmap, not a binder.

Most preclinical programs accumulate studies. Few have a strategy. The result is a thick package of evidence that doesn't connect to the regulatory decision the FDA actually needs to make. Our preclinical regulatory strategy designs the package as a unified plan — anchored on the regulatory pathway, sequenced against your investor milestones, and built so each study answers a question the next stage requires.

01

Integrated Preclinical Roadmap

Discovery → DRF → GLP → IND/IDE as one sequenced plan, not a collection of studies. Each milestone unlocks the next decision.

02

Hypothesis-Driven Studies

Every preclinical study tied to an explicit question — pathway, dosing, safety margin, or translational risk — not just box-checking.

03

Safety, Efficacy, PK Coordination

Coordinate safety, efficacy, and PK study timelines so results inform each other rather than arrive in isolation.

04

Stage-Gate Planning

Preclinical milestones aligned to financing stage-gates — so each round of capital is justified by the evidence the prior round generated.

05

Translational FIH Planning

NOAEL, MABEL, and integrated dose selection that makes the first-in-human starting dose defensible.

06

Risk Register

A living risk register that tracks every assumption, gap, and mitigation through to IND/IDE submission.

Who It's For

Preclinical strategy at the right inflection point.

Discovery-Stage Programs

Programs leaving the bench and entering the preclinical funnel, where strategy now prevents waste later.

Translational Biotechs

Companies bridging discovery to clinical, where coordinated preclinical evidence becomes a fundraising and FDA asset.

Investors & Boards

Stage-gate review of preclinical strategy as part of capital deployment or portfolio decisions.

First-Time Founders

Founders who need a senior translational expert to architect the preclinical program from day one.

How We Work

From discovery to IND-ready evidence.

Step 01

Asset Review

Understand the asset, indication, and target product profile.

Step 02

Pathway & Milestones

Map FDA pathway and the investor stage-gates that fund it.

Step 03

Roadmap Design

Sequenced preclinical plan — studies, questions, and decisions.

Step 04

Execution & Risk Register

Living risk register that travels with the program through to IND.
