Preclinical Development

Preclinical development is the early stage of creating a new medicine, where scientists test the potential drug in laboratories and on animals to evaluate its safety, efficacy, and dosage. This phase helps determine if the drug is safe enough to proceed to human trials. It involves extensive laboratory experiments to understand how the drug works, its possible side effects, and whether it effectively targets the intended condition. Successful preclinical studies are essential to ensure that only promising and safe candidates move forward into clinical trials with people.
