What is Considered Basic Safety Testing these Days?

Posted by Kathy Murray, 8/23/2010 07:19:27 AM

I want to open the discussion of what we now consider “basic safety testing.” With increasingly complex protocols and regulations comes an inevitable evolution in what we consider this term to mean. I’ll preface this discussion with a brief synopsis of obvious advancements I’ve seen, and would enjoy hearing about your observations over time in regards to this subject.

It used to be that performing the main concentrations of basic safety testing, bio-chemistry, hematology, coagulation and urinalysis testing encompassed industry standards to ensure no clinically significant variations from baseline were due to the pharmacodynamic of the study article.

However, ACM Global is now addressing the shifting focus to more esoteric exploratory essays. Protocols are now including more esoteric and molecular based assays.
