Navigating the Complexities of Risk Assessment in Veterinary Pharmaceuticals 


The development of veterinary medicines faces numerous challenges that are unique compared to human pharmaceutical development. Although the pharmaceutical industry in both sectors is built on shared principles of safety and efficacy, the veterinary pharmaceutical industry is confronted with a significantly more complex risk environment. The distinctive risk assessment challenges of veterinary pharmaceuticals and how industry leaders are addressing them are explored in this blog. 


Veterinary Pharmaceuticals



Species Diversity: The Multispecies Challenge

One of the most basic differences in veterinary risk assessment is that safety must be assessed in more than one species. Unlike human pharmaceuticals, which are typically developed to operate within the confines of a single species, Veterinary drug developers must establish safety profiles across a wide range of species. 

 

Designing a drug to be safe for dogs, cats, horses, and cattle all at once is like developing a drug that works safely for species as physiologically distinct as cats, cattle, and poultry. Pharmacokinetic profiles may vary significantly between species, necessitating species-specific dosing and safety evaluations. Likewise, dosage calculations become exponentially more challenging when treating an animal that can vary in weight from a small cat to a horse. These include notably different rates of metabolism, organ functions, and natural detoxification processes between species, making toxicity assessments difficult.

It serves as a comprehensive report detailing the quality, manufacture, and control of the investigational product. The IMPD is a crucial regulatory submission required by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or national regulatory bodies to evaluate whether a clinical trial can proceed. Key Components of an IMPD The IMPD includes several sections, providing information that ensures the safety and efficacy of the investigational product. These sections typically cover: Product Description and Composition: The IMPD provides detailed information about the investigational product, including its chemical composition, formulation, and dosage forms. Manufacturing and Control: This...
