Preclinical Studies
Animal studies that support Phase 1 safety and tolerance studies and must comply with good laboratory practices (GLP). Data about a drug's activities and effects in animals help establish boundaries for safe use of the drug in subsequent human testing (clinical studies). Because many animals have much shorter life spans than humans,
preclinical studies can provide valuable information about a drug's possible toxic effects over an animal's life cycle and on its offspring.
