Repeated Dose Toxicity (Subacute, Subchronic and Chronic) services in India

Vipragen offers a comprehensive suite of Repeated Dose Toxicity studies in India that adhere to international guidelines and include an extensive range of assessments, as follows:

14-Day Repeated Dose Toxicity Study in Rat and Mice:

A study designed to evaluate the effects of a compound administered daily for 14 days, which may or may not include toxicokinetic (TK) assessments.

28-Day Repeated Dose Toxicity Study in Rat and Mice with or without Recovery and TK (OECD 407, ICH M3 R2):

An extended version of the 14-day study, this evaluation spans 28 days and can include recovery periods and TK assessments.

90-Day Repeated Dose Toxicity Study in Rat and Mice with or without Recovery and TK (OECD 408, ICH M3 R2):

This study provides a longer-duration assessment of the compound's effects over 90 days, with the option for recovery periods and TK evaluations.

Chronic Toxicity (6-12 Months) in Rat and Mice (OECD 452, ICH M3 R2):

Designed for more extended evaluations spanning 6-12 months, this study assesses the chronic effects of the compound.

Combined Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity Study in Rat and Mice (OECD 453):

A study that evaluates both the chronic toxicity and potential carcinogenicity of the compound, adhering to OECD guidelines.

Carcinogenicity Study in Rat and Mice (OECD 451, ICH M3 R2):

A dedicated study focused on assessing the potential carcinogenic effects of the compound in rodents. These Repeated Dose Toxicity studies are critical for understanding the compound's safety profile, potential long-term effects, and its suitability for further development.

Vipragen's expertise in conducting a range of repeated toxicity studies and providing comprehensive evaluations ensures that pharmaceutical research and development efforts are well-informed and safety-oriented.
