Cardiac Safety Assessment Service
Introduction Workflow What We Can Offer Why Choose Us Customer Reviews FAQs Extended Services
Introduction
Cardiac safety assessment is a critical component of drug development, aimed at identifying and mitigating the risk of drug-induced cardiotoxicity. As highlighted by Reaction Biology, early identification of potential cardiotoxic compounds is essential to avoid costly failures and protect patient health. Preclinical studies play a vital role in this process. At Creative Biolabs, the cardiac safety assessment service provides the expertise and technology necessary to conduct these crucial studies, ensuring the development of safer and more effective therapies. We will help you accelerate your drug discovery process and obtain reliable cardiac safety profiles through advanced electrophysiological techniques, in vitro and in vivo models, and expert data analysis.
Creative Biolabs employs a comprehensive strategy for cardiac safety assessment, integrating in vitro and in vivo models to provide a thorough evaluation of drug-induced cardiotoxicity. Our approach includes:
-
Ion Channel Evaluation: Utilizing advanced patch-clamp techniques to assess drug effects on key cardiac ion channels (hERG, Na+, Ca2+).
-
Cellular Assays: Employing cardiomyocytes to evaluate drug-induced changes in cellular function and viability.
-
In Vivo Studies: Conducting ECG and telemetry studies in animal models to assess the impact of drug candidates on cardiac electrophysiology and function.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to ICH guidelines and other relevant regulatory standards to ensure data acceptability.
Workflow
|
1) Study Design and Consultation
|
Initial consultation to define study objectives, select appropriate assays (in vitro, in vivo, or a combination), and design a tailored experimental plan. This stage ensures the study aligns with the client's specific needs and regulatory requirements.
|
|
2) In Vitro Assays
|
Evaluation of drug effects on cardiac ion channels (e.g., hERG, sodium, calcium) using automated patch-clamp systems, and assessment of cellular viability and function in cardiomyocytes. This step helps to identify potential mechanisms of cardiotoxicity at the cellular level.
|
|
3) In Vivo Studies
|
Assessment of cardiac function and electrophysiology in animal models (e.g., ECG, telemetry) to evaluate the effects of drug candidates on the whole heart. This stage provides crucial information on the drug's impact on a living system.
|
|
4) Data Analysis and Reporting
|
Comprehensive data analysis by expert scientists, including statistical analysis, interpretation of results, and generation of detailed study reports. This ensures that the client receives clear, concise, and actionable information.
|
|
5) Consultation and Follow-up
|
Post-study consultation to discuss the results, address any questions, and provide guidance on next steps in the drug development process. This ongoing support helps clients to make informed decisions..
|
-
Final Deliverables:
-
Comprehensive study reports, including detailed methodology, raw data, statistical analysis, and interpretation of results.
