Preclinical Development Services

In vitro and in vivo methods to provide a study setup that thoroughly determines safety and efficacy

With the most promising lead compounds selected and optimized, preclinical research provides a final characterization and safety assessment of a potential candidate prior to dosing in humans. To prepare for a First-in-Human trial (FiH), a comprehensive dossier of preclinical findings needs to be filed and approved by the regulatory authorities to allow for clinical use as an investigational new drug (IND). 

The IND-dossier requires an in-depth profiling and extrapolation of pharmacological parameters to substantiate the proposed clinical dosing-regimen to meet the requirements for the desired exposure in a human subject while minimizing its toxic effects.  

It is part of InnoSer’s ambition to serve its customers in all stages of their preclinical research. As such, we are currently in the process of applying for a GLP-accreditation.

Our Approach

Readily available to guide you through the study design process and support you in accelerating your preclinical research

Scientists working in the preclinical in vitro laboratory in Belgium
The InnoSer team applies a tailored approach towards the pharmacology and toxicology aspects of your research and adjust the study design on a case-by-case basis. 

With our wide portfolio of methods and models, we can determine the transferability and reliability of your results supporting you in the transition of your compounds from bench to the clinic. Our team and network of experts are committed to accelerating the drug development process to help you deliver your treatment to patients at a fast pace. 

InnoSer can support you in developing your clinical hypothesis by using a pharmacometrics approach. Using tools such as population-based pharmacokinetic modelling (PopPK) we can support you in optimizing your clinical setup for specific substrata of patients.

Animal Welfare

The 3Rs impact everything from policy and regulatory change to the development and uptake of new technologies and approaches. This is why InnoSer has ongoing commitment and monitoring of these processes. The steps we practice maximize our ability to replace, reduce and refine animal involvement and facilitate our commitment to these principles when it comes to research and drug development.
