Preclinical Documentation

Preclinical documentation

Filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application is the first step towards beginning clinical trials. An appropriately designed package of studies; conducted  with the right controls, appropriate statistical tests and accurately  documented results are paramount for successful filing. ASKbreakthrough can help with various aspects of your preclinical package  from reviewing study plans to ensuring results are reported correctly. We can review or develop documentation based on your needs.


Our Preclinical Documentation Service includes:

You have a lead compound and are in the process of undertaking preclinical toxicity studies. However, the study design must conform to OECD Guidelines for obtaining regulatory approval. We will design your study plan based on your requirement and ensure it meets OECD Guidelines

You have already designed your study, but want to confirm that your study plan meets OECD Guideline requirements. We can review the study plan in detail and recommend modifications according to OECD requirements.

We will review your preclinical toxicology study report for clarity, internal consistency and flow.



  Our documentation design and review expertise cover the following types of studies and will comply with OECD Test Guidance:
