At the preclinical stage of drug development, you must extensively test your product in the laboratory to ensure it will be safe for human administration. We understand that selecting a research and development partner to perform such testing is a complex decision and that the science, communication, and service must be exceptional for outsourcing to be effective.
Charles River has the experience, range of services, and expertise to help you successfully initiate and complete critical phases of preclinical drug development by designing, performing, and documenting safety tests that meet the appropriate regulatory requirements before and after clinical trials begin.
Our scientific and regulatory staff work with you to develop and execute individual studies or customized testing programs to ensure that safety and efficacy assessments are conducted in the most efficient manner. This allows us to consistently meet or exceed worldwide regulatory standards as well as your values for quality and compliance and to continually expand our scope and range of preclinical services to address the ever-changing demands of the industry and you, our client.
We recognize that the use of animals for research and development purposes is a subject of enormous sensitivity. Charles River is committed to conducting your programs using animals in a responsible and ethical manner through our Humane Care Initiative.
