The preclinical programs essential for a successful investigational new drug (IND) application necessitate substantial time and resources. Protheragen possesses the expertise and bioanalytical capacity to efficiently provide regulatory-compliant pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, biomarker, and immunogenicity data through our IND program services for mitochondrial disease.
What is IND Program?
The purpose of IND-enabling studies is to obtain approval for conducting first-in-human clinical trials with a novel drug. An IND application encompasses comprehensive information on pharmacology and toxicology, manufacturing aspects (e.g., composition, production, stability), human clinical study protocols, and investigator details.
Why is an IND application required?
Investigational New Drug (IND) application is utilized to assess the acceptability of a new drug's efficacy and safety profile, proposed manufacturing process, and clinical trial designs for conducting studies in humans.
Our Services
Together with our extensive and unparalleled range of services and industry-leading expertise in mitochondrial disease, we assist clients in successfully developing, launching, and completing their IND-enabling programs within specified timelines and allocated budgets.
