Beginners Guide To Toxicology

Foundations of Safety: A Comprehensive Beginners Guide to Toxicology in Drug Development – Understanding Assessments, Risk Identification, and Clinical Implications

Toxicology Training Courses: Beginners Guide to Toxicology

Learn the principles of practical toxicology

About the Course

The non-clinical safety assessment for marketing approval of a pharmaceutical product usually includes pharmacology studies, general toxicity studies, toxicokinetic and non-clinical pharmacokinetic studies, reproduction toxicity studies, and genotoxicity studies. For biotechnology-derived products, appropriate non-clinical safety studies should also be conducted on a case-by-case basis. Non-clinical safety studies and human clinical trials should be planned and designed to represent an approach that is scientifically and ethically appropriate.

In toxicology, it should be possible to distinguish expected pharmacology (related to the mechanism of action of the drug) from unexpected or abnormal pharmacology. It should also be possible to rank molecules based on their intrinsic toxic potential and to identify potential adverse effects. These effects should be correlated in toxicology with exposure to assess the presence of a dose-response. Overall toxicology studies should allow the extrapolation from non-clinical data of the human situation. This will allow the inclusion of suitable assessments during clinical development to ensure that the safety of the enrolled subjects (either healthy volunteers or patients) is maintained.
