Operating Company Information

Nonclinical studies are commonly grouped into three categories: pharmacodynamics (efficacy), safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK). Compared with safety and PK studies—which are highly standardized and generally produce comparable results across qualified CROs—the optimal provider for pharmacodynamics varies by the drug and disease area. This site therefore focuses on pharmacodynamics, where provider selection is challenging due to differing therapeutic-area specializations, and explains how to identify the best-fit CRO.
