PK/PD Study Services for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Understanding the intricate relationship between drug exposure and therapeutic response is critical for the effective treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC). Our specialized pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) research services are designed to elucidate these dynamics, providing comprehensive insights into how investigational and approved therapies distribute, metabolize, and exert their effects in preclinical models of mCRC. By leveraging robust PK/PD methodologies, we support the rational development and optimization of anti-cancer agents, ultimately facilitating improved clinical outcomes for patients with metastatic disease.
We offer a broad spectrum of administration routes—including oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, and intranasal delivery—to support the exploration of diverse drug delivery strategies in mCRC studies. This flexibility enables tailored investigation of systemic and localized therapies, assessment of absorption and bioavailability, and optimization of dosing regimens to maximize therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse effects.
Our service portfolio encompasses quantitative analysis in a wide array of biological compartments, such as plasma, serum, blood, liver, kidney, spleen, lung, brain, tumor tissue, intestine, colon, and more. This extensive compartment analysis allows for precise measurement of drug concentrations and metabolites in both systemic circulation and target tissues, with particular emphasis on tumor and metastatic sites relevant to colorectal cancer. Such comprehensive profiling is essential for characterizing tissue-specific pharmacokinetics and understanding drug penetration in metastatic lesions.
We employ state-of-the-art analytical techniques, including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), HPLC coupled with fluorescence (HPLC-F), HPLC with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV), HPLC-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), HPLC with refractive index detection (HPLC-R), ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), mass spectrometry, ELISA, fluorimetry, and radioactivity-based assays. These methodologies enable sensitive and specific quantification of drugs, metabolites, and biomarkers, supporting rigorous PK/PD modeling and biomarker validation for mCRC therapeutics.
Our preclinical research platform utilizes a diverse range of validated animal models, including mice, rats, rabbits, monkeys, dogs, and sheep. These models are selected based on their physiological relevance to human colorectal cancer, enabling robust assessment of drug behavior, efficacy, and safety across species. The availability of multiple models facilitates interspecies scaling and supports translational research from bench to bedside.
Our integrated PK/PD studies yield critical insights into drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profiles; elucidate concentration-effect relationships; inform dosing optimization strategies; and enable interspecies scaling for translational predictability. These data-driven outcomes are fundamental to the rational design of mCRC therapeutics and the acceleration of drug development pipelines.
With deep expertise in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer pharmacology and a comprehensive suite of PK/PD research capabilities, we are committed to advancing the development of innovative therapies. We invite you to partner with us to leverage our scientific acumen, state-of-the-art technologies, and tailored study designs in support of your mCRC drug discovery and development objectives.
