5 Steps to Planning and Executing IND-Enabling Nonclinical Studies


Nonclinical studies demonstrating the safety and pharmacological activity of a compound are critical components of an investigational new drug (IND) application.

In this checklist, we outline five steps for planning and executing scientifically rigorous, compliant IND-enabling nonclinical studies to help move development programs forward.
