Preclinical Drug Efficacy Testing and Modeling Services

When developing a drug, it is important for it to not only be safe; it should also be effective. Various companies offer drug efficacy testing services to determine the safest and most efficient compounds. A popular efficacy testing method is to test a compound using animal models for specific diseases. A common example is the use of xenograft tumor models for in vivo efficacy studies of anti-cancer therapeutics. Many companies offer pre-existing or custom animal models as well as assay development services, while some companies will perform the efficacy testing services themselves.
