Preclinical Pharmacology & Efficacy Studies

In vitro and in vivo pharmacology studies designed to evaluate biological activity, dose response, mechanism-linked endpoints, and therapeutic efficacy in relevant disease models.

Pharmacology studies built around the biological question.

We coordinate study design and execution with partner laboratories selected for the required therapeutic area and model. The program can connect compound supply with in vitro screening, in vivo efficacy, PK/PD, biomarker, and tissue-analysis work.

Efficacy capabilities across major research areas.

Oncology & immuno-oncology

Cell-based assays and CDX, PDX, syngeneic, humanized, orthotopic, or metastatic models for antitumor efficacy and immune-response studies.

Immunology & inflammation

Pharmacology models and inflammatory, immune, cytokine, histology, and disease-activity readouts aligned to the mechanism of action.

Cardiovascular & cerebrovascular

Disease-model studies for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pharmacology using project-relevant functional, biomarker, and tissue endpoints.

Neuroscience

Behavioral, neurochemical, electrophysiological, biomarker, and tissue-based endpoints for neurological and neuropsychiatric research programs.

Metabolic disease

Obesity, diabetes, MASH, and related metabolic pharmacology studies with efficacy, exposure, biomarker, and tissue-analysis endpoints.

Translational in vitro systems

Patient-derived organoids, 3D co-culture, organ-on-chip, and other human-relevant systems for screening and translational research.

Common pharmacology and efficacy readouts.

Efficacy

Disease-specific functional outcomes, tumor response, disease activity, or other model-relevant primary endpoints.

Dose response

Dose level, schedule, route, treatment duration, response magnitude, and durability.

PK/PD

Exposure, target engagement, pharmacodynamic response, and efficacy correlation when required.

Biomarkers & tissues

Protocol-defined sample collection, biomarkers, histology, IHC, cytokines, or pathway readouts.

Model availability, study design, endpoints, timelines, and deliverables are confirmed during technical review.

What shapes an efficacy study design.

  • Therapeutic area and disease biology
  • Compound modality and mechanism of action
  • In vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo model selection
  • Dose route, schedule, and formulation
  • Primary, secondary, and exploratory endpoints
  • PK/PD, biomarker, tissue, and reporting requirements
