Preclinical Development Primer 201

Preclinical Development Primer 201 builds upon the established knowledge in Preclinical 
Development Primer 101, utilizing real-world examples and case studies to delve deep into the 
specific tests and data required to file a successful Investigational New Drug (IND) application. The 
class focuses first on efficacy, centered around pharmacology studies, including binding and potency 
assays, and second on safety, including ADME, HERG, DART, PK/PD, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity 
testing. This primer examines each preclinical test's goals and outcomes, evaluating data results 
to determine therapeutic margin, side effects, and optimal drug concentration. Finally, the class 
describes the workflow, timeline, and standards for validating and qualifying these tests. Don't miss 
this opportunity to understand preclinical developments. secure your spot today!
