harmacokinetics (PK) is an important discipline in the drug discovery/development process and Calvert can provide a full range of preclinical pharmacokinetic services. We can help you determine absorption, distribution, and excretion in non-clinical studies and aid in dose level setting for toxicology/safety pharmacology, and first in human studies.

In addition to providing clients with traditional PK data analysis, interpretation, and report preparation, Calvert scientists are available for consultation in the experimental design of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies.  We have developed cost-effective protocols to determine initial PK profiles for lead candidates using virtually all routes of administration in mouse, rat, rabbit, dogs, mini-pig and non-human primates.

 

 

We offer comprehensive services in preclinical pharmacokinetics from protocol design, formulation development, in-life, sample and data analysis to report preparation. Calvert also provides assistance in working with regulatory requirements to expedite product development.  In sharing a common goal, Calvert acts according to clients’ needs by using innovative approaches for an unequivocal result to a specific study objective, and making effective and efficient utilization of resources and laboratory animals.
