Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive retinal degenerative disease for which effective therapeutic interventions rely on a nuanced understanding of the relationship between drug exposure and therapeutic response. Our specialized pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) research services are designed to elucidate these relationships, supporting the development of targeted treatments for RP. By integrating advanced PK/PD methodologies, we provide critical insights into drug behavior, enabling the rational design and optimization of novel therapeutics for this challenging ocular disorder.
We offer a comprehensive suite of administration routes, including oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, and intranasal delivery. This flexibility allows for the systematic investigation of various drug delivery strategies, ensuring that both systemic and localized therapies can be evaluated for their efficacy and safety in preclinical models of retinitis pigmentosa. Tailoring the administration route to the therapeutic candidate and study objectives enhances translational relevance and supports the identification of optimal delivery modalities.
Our service portfolio includes extensive compartmental analysis, enabling precise measurement of drug and biomarker concentrations in a wide array of biological matrices. We specialize in sampling and analysis of key tissues implicated in retinitis pigmentosa, such as the vitreous humor, retina, cornea, blood, plasma, and ocular adnexa. This comprehensive approach facilitates a detailed understanding of drug distribution, target engagement, and pharmacodynamic effects within the ocular environment and systemic circulation.
We employ state-of-the-art analytical techniques, including HPLC, HPLC-UV, UPLC-MS, LC-MS, and fluorimetry, to ensure high sensitivity and specificity in quantifying drug, metabolite, and biomarker levels. Our laboratory is equipped for both small molecule and biologic assays, with robust validation protocols to support regulatory submissions. Additionally, we offer customized biomarker analysis to assess pharmacodynamic endpoints relevant to RP pathophysiology.
A diverse range of preclinical animal models is available, including mice, rats, rabbits, and nonhuman primates. These models provide critical translational relevance for retinitis pigmentosa research, allowing for the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy, safety, and ocular pharmacokinetics across species. Our team has extensive experience in selecting and utilizing models that recapitulate key features of RP, supporting the generation of data that informs clinical development.
Our integrated PK/PD studies yield actionable insights into drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties; concentration-effect relationships; dosing optimization strategies; and interspecies scaling for translational research. These data are essential for predicting human pharmacokinetics, guiding dose selection, and de-risking clinical development programs for retinitis pigmentosa therapies.
With deep expertise in ocular pharmacology and a comprehensive suite of PK/PD research services, we are dedicated to advancing therapeutic innovation for retinitis pigmentosa. We invite you to partner with us to accelerate your RP drug development programs, leveraging our scientific rigor, technical capabilities, and commitment to translational success.
