Non-Clinical Development Services

We expertly deliver end-to-end nonclinical development support, from designing tailored study programmes to managing CRO execution and preparing regulatory documentation.
Our team accelerates drug development by integrating seamlessly with your internal team of scientists to deliver safe, efficient next phase readiness.

Nonclinical testing is essential to assess safety and Pharmacokinetics and Toxicokinetic (PK/TK) characteristics across all drug development phases.

  • High-quality nonclinical design helps identify “knockout” criteria early, increasing downstream clinical success.
  • hVIVO manage and monitor all toxicology, PK/TK and metabolism (ADME) studies end-to-end.
  • Accredited to perform PK/TK evaluations under GLP compliance.

What This Service Is

Nonclinical development at hVIVO covers the full spectrum of safety, pharmacokinetic, toxicological and ADME assessments required to progress a medicinal product to clinical trials or registration.

The programme is tailored casebycase to reflect the scientific profile of each candidate rather than relying on generic regulatory templates.

Working With hVIVO

Program Design

Experts develop an optimal nonclinical plan based on the drug’s characteristics and intended clinical route.
