Preclina isSouth Korean non-clinical CRO specializing in drug discovery research for autoimmune and inflammatory diseasesWe handle everything in-house, from efficacy evaluation using patient-derived cells and disease models to pathological analysis, PK/ADME, and toxicity evaluation.
Preclina isEfficacy evaluation of drugs for autoimmune and inflammatory diseasesWe are a CRO specializing in [insert area of expertise], conducting evaluations using disease-mimicking animal models for conditions such as arthritis, fibrosis, inflammatory skin diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, neurological disorders, and connective tissue diseases. By accumulating research experience focused on specific disease areas, we make it easy to establish tailored evaluation systems suited to your objectives when examining the efficacy and mechanisms of action of candidate substances.
In cell-based assays,primary cells derived from patients with autoimmune diseasesWe support cell-based assays using . Furthermore, we have developed a Humanized Mouse Platform utilizing PBMC and CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells. Using models such as PreHu™-P and PreHu™-H, we provide an evaluation environment for next-generation immune therapeutics, including antibody drugs, ADCs, CAR-T/NK, and bispecific antibodies.
Not only efficacy tests,Histopathology, DMPK & ADME, ToxicologyWe also undertake such peripheral evaluations. In the pathology field, in addition to standard histological analyses, we offer disease-specific custom analyses and pathology consulting. We also conduct evaluations combining PK/PD analysis and efficacy studies, establishing a system capable of advancing a series of research stages from candidate compound screening to Lead Optimization and Confirmative Trials. Please note that since information indicating GLP compliance is not confirmed on the official website, prior confirmation is necessary if GLP-compliant studies are required.
At Preclina, we develop various disease models focusing on autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. For example, in pulmonary fibrosis,Bleomycin-induced Lung Fibrosis (BILF) modelDeploying the Humanized BILF model. It also supports quantitative evaluation of lung conditions using Micro-CT, making it applicable for evaluating the efficacy of anti-fibrotic drug candidates.
In the field of pulmonary fibrosis, PreclinaEfficacy evaluation using mouse and rat disease modelsis being conducted. The official website introduces research examples combining everything from screening to Lead Optimization and Confirmative Trial. A key feature is the ability to quantitatively evaluate the overall lung condition, percentage of lung infiltration, and volume changes using Micro-CT, allowing for a multifaceted examination of candidate compound effects. In addition, the Humanized BILF model is also developed and provided.

In non-clinical development, the choice of contract research organization shapes the quality of the data and the time it takes to reach the next decision. Below, three CROs are introduced by the type of study they support: pharmacology (efficacy) studies, safety studies, and pharmacokinetic (PK/PD) studies. Each summary describes the services the company offers so that you can match a provider to your target and development objective.
SMC Laboratories is a specialized non-clinical CRO focused on in vivo pharmacology and efficacy studies using disease-relevant animal models, particularly in fibrosis, inflammation, metabolic diseases, and oncology.
SMC Laboratories offers models covering the liver, lung, kidney, intestine, and oncology. Its portfolio includes the proprietary STAM™ model for MASH, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Study plans are developed around the target biology, mechanism of action, disease stage, and development objective. Pharmacological endpoints can be combined with histopathology, biomarkers, and disease-specific readouts.
With experience from more than 1,000 studies for clients in 30 countries, SMC Laboratories supports programs from target validation and candidate selection through in vivo proof-of-concept studies.
Charles River provides non-clinical toxicology and safety assessment services for programs ranging from exploratory safety studies to IND-enabling development.
Services include single- and repeat-dose toxicology, dose-range finding, and general toxicology studies across multiple species and administration routes.
Charles River supports both non-GLP and GLP studies, allowing sponsors to progress from early safety characterization to studies intended for regulatory submissions.
Toxicology studies can be integrated with toxicokinetics, clinical pathology, histopathology, and safety pharmacology to support interpretation and IND-enabling safety packages.
Inotiv provides integrated PK/PD, DMPK, and bioanalytical services to characterize drug exposure and its relationship with pharmacological response.
PK studies characterize exposure, half-life, clearance, and other pharmacokinetic parameters needed to understand how a candidate behaves in the selected model.
Pharmacokinetic data can be combined with pharmacodynamic endpoints and bioanalysis to evaluate the relationship between drug exposure and pharmacological response.
Integrated DMPK, pharmacology, and safety information supports candidate comparison, dose selection, dosing-frequency optimization, and decisions about subsequent preclinical development.
