Whitepaper: Minimize Risk for Your Preclinical Research
Recent studies on the success rates of drug development in the biopharmaceutical industry reported that 50% of all drugs brought to clinical trials fail because independent labs have an inability to reproduce efficacy as demonstrated in preclinical trials. This ‘reproducibility crisis’ has cost the industry nearly $28 billion in failed clinical trials.
In response, AstraZeneca implemented a “5Rs Framework” for its preclinical drug discovery and development to boost productivity and shareholder confidence. It’s working.
But early-to mid-stage biotechs rely on incremental funding to scale their preclinical stages and don’t typically have big pharma facilities or infrastructure. They often have only one chance to bring their drug to clinical trials, and they’re most likely risking it all: funding, safety, efficacy validation, maybe even the company itself.
How can emerging biotechs take a page from AstraZeneca’s “5Rs Framework” and increase the success rates of their preclinical trials, minimize the risk of failed clinical trials and control their science?
We propose a 6th ‘R’: Right Control, with the contract vivarium model.
