Safety Pharmacology

At the interface between biology, pathophysiology, pharmacology and toxicology, safety pharmacology is a full-fledged discipline. It is also a key issue for all drug developers of the healthcare industry: unacceptable safety remains the most important reason for failure in preclinical and phase I studies (safety is also responsible for 30% of the phase II trial failures).

Over the past 40 years, ERBC has become a leader in the field, conducting annually more than 200 non GLP or GLP-compliant safety studies.

In partnership with world-class scientists of academia and industry, ERBC is also fully committed to the development of safety biomarkers and advanced methodologies that allow industrials to better predict the risk of rare lethal events induced by new therapies and improve safety margin calculation, reducing the risk of subsequent failure in clinical.

Core Battery

The purpose of the safety pharmacology core battery program is to investigate the effects of the test substance on vital functions. In this regard, ERBC conducts GLP-compliant studies on central nervous, respiratory and cardiovascular systems in small and large animal species. Some endpoints can be incorporated in the design of toxicology and clinical studies or evaluated in specific studies. ERBC also develops new strategies and methodologies for risk management, notably in cardiology.

Follow-up studies

When warranted, ERBC conducts follow-up and supplemental safety pharmacology studies. These studies allow to investigate the mechanism of adverse effects suspected and/or observed through the core battery or the clinical trials programs and/or to evaluate potential adverse pharmacodynamic effects on organ system functions not addressed by the core battery or repeated dose toxicity studies.
