Non-Clinical Services

The early development of an appropriate non-clinical plan for your specific drug and indication is critical. The design of a non-clinical plan which is fully integrated with your clinical strategy is a complex process.

By relying on Dow’s non-clinical group, you will conduct at optimal times only those non-clinical studies necessary for the particular stage of drug development, avoiding unnecessary cost. Additional time and money are saved through the intelligent design of the specific non-clinical studies within the plan. To meet your clinical trial timing goals, non-clinical studies may be performed in a sequential fashion, or, to speed development, some or all studies may be performed concurrently.

Whether you are in need of development of a full non-clinical plan, design and management of a study, or interpretation of data, Dow has the expertise to advance your drug to IND, Proof of Concept in man and ultimately to NDA approval. You can benefit from Dow’s non-clinical expertise on a consulting basis or as the guide and manager for all of your non-clinical studies.
