Pharmaceutical Products

LSIM Safety Institute supports development of pharmaceutical products by providing a series of nonclinical services from the early stages of drug development to application for manufacturing and marketing approval. In addition to possessing a wide range of efficacy models in pharmacological evaluation, we are also able to offer development of models according to our clients’ needs. For toxicity and safety pharmacology studies, various safety tests necessary for application of manufacturing and marketing approval are conducted under pharmaceutical GLP conditions in compliance with ICH guidelines. We can also comprehensively address Pharmacokinetic studies including exploratory tests. Our staff members have extensive experience and skills in their areas of expertise and will provide high quality and reliable results in all studies under GLP and Reliability Criteria.

If within one project there are multiple studies, a project manager will serve as a point of contact for the client and through smooth communication present an efficient study protocol, accurately conduct progress management and reporting on the project, and present comprehensive evaluation results consistent among studies.

LSIM Safety Institute provides medical writing services to support application for regulatory approval. We produce high quality documents which include investor’s brochure (IB), non-clinical sections of IB and CTC with QC/QA verification.

Regenerative medicine products

At LSIM Safety Institute, a system to accept nonclinical safety studies of regenerative medicine products has been developed. We are certified with GLP for regenerative medicine products and we conduct toxicity studies necessary for application for manufacturing and marketing approval in accordance with GLP and related guidelines. In regards to pharmacological studies, we have disease models in various categories such as hepatitis, peripheral artery disease, arthritis, myocardial infarction, and cerebral infraction, and also develop models according to our clients’ requests. We are able to offer biodistribution studies for pharmacokinetics. Our staff has extensive experience and expertise, and will provide reliable results in all studies including GLP and criteria for reliability.

If multiple studies are consigned for one project, the project manager will act as a point of contact with the client, present an efficient study plan for the project, manage accurate progress and adequately report through smooth communication while also presenting comprehensive evaluation results consistent between the studies.

We are also entrusted with medical writing work as medicinal application support. We provide high quality documents with QC/QA verification which are non-clinical sections of investigational medicinal product dossiers (IMPD), investigator's brochures (IB), and common technical documents (CTD).
