Unreferenced date December 2009 In drug development , preclinicaldevelopment is a stage of research that begins before clinical trial s testing in humans can begin, and during which important feasibility, iterative testing and drug safety data is collected. The main goals of preclinical studies also named preclinical studies and nonclinical studies are to determine a product s ultimate safety profile. Products may include new or iterated or like kind medical devices, drugs, gene therapy solutions, etc. Each class of product may undergo different types of preclinical research. For instance, drugs may undergo pharmacodynamics PD , pharmacokinetics PK , ADME , and toxicity testing through in vivo animal testing . This data allows researchers to Allometry allometrically estimate a safe starting dose of the drug for clinical trial s in humans. Medical devices that do not have drug attached will not undergo these additional tests and may go directly to GLP testing for safety of the device and its components. Some medical devices will also undergo biocompatibility testing which helps to show whether a component of the device or all components are sustainable in a living model. Most preclinical studies must adhere to Good Laboratory Practice s GLP in International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use ICH Guidelines to be acceptable for submission to regulatory agencies such as the Food & Drug Administration in the United .... .
