Tox Clarity advances the development of your drug in three arenas.
-
Nonclinical Development Strategies
Create strategic vision specific to novel product modality, therapeutic area, and stage of development
Modalities:
- Small molecules, recombinant proteins, antibodies, oligonucleotides, cell therapies, gene therapies
Therapeutic Areas:
- Neurology, ophthalmology, oncology, wound healing, hematology, metabolic diseases, dermatology
- Rare, severe and life threatening
Stage of Clinical Development:
- pre-IND (to inform selection of safe starting dose, maximum escalation dose, dose regimen, patient population, monitoring criteria)
- pre-Phase 3 Clinical-stage (to inform inclusion of WOCBP, addition of pediatric cohorts, assessment in large populations)
- pre-NDA/BLA (to inform labeling)
- Post-marketing (to inform regulatory commitments, label expansion, market expansion)
Stage of Business Development:
- To defined inflection points (spending cap, Proof-of-Concept)
- To defined milestones (First-in-human, clinical Phase 3, marketing registration)
-
Regulatory Science
Identify opportunities for streamlined development and/or Accelerated Approval
Define the ‘when’ and ‘with what data’ as well as probability of award
- Carcinogenicity, chronic toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity waivers
- Orphan Drug Designation applications
- Fast Track, Breakthrough Designation applications
- 505(b)1 or 505(b)2 pathways
Confirm scientific studies meet regulatory requirements and sufficiently address drug product risks
Review study protocols, findings, interpretations, and reports
- Toxicology, safety pharmacology, secondary pharmacology, and in vitro drug-drug interaction studies
- non-GLP, GLP standards
Contextualize findings in regulatory submissions
Communicate import for clinical development and marketing
- Define target organs, critical toxicities, reversibility, monitorability, and margins of safety
- Address relevance for patients
- Profile similarities and differences relative to drug class or standard of care
- Provide appropriate emphasis in Investigator Brochures and Drug Safety Update Reports
- Draft label language
Compose or revise regulatory documents
Prepare and maintain eCTD INDs/CTAs and NDAs/BLAs
- Module 1: Meeting background materials and correspondence, special protocol assessment requests, pediatric study plans, information amendments, annual reports, post-marketing commitments
- Module 2: Nonclinical overview, written summaries, tabulated summaries
- Module 3: Novel excipient and impurities qualification
Develop global Investigator Brochures
- Structure content to align across multiple regulatory regions
Represent nonclinical affairs in health authority meetings
Judiciously utilize time to obtain actionable feedback and generate goodwill
-
Due Diligence
Acquisitions:
Evaluate nonclinical data and package completeness, assess risks, and construct a gap analysis relative to the next critical milestone
Divestitures:
Organize and present the data package to facilitate easy, clear review by potential partners
