Preclinical Studies

Before programs enter clinical trials

Where start, safe dose for first-in-human study and potential toxicity of the candidate drug are determined.​ The flexibility of CETSA makes it the first choice for translational studies where confirming target engagement within tissue samples is required, and in patient-derived material can provide a vital clue to the drug candidate’s probable efficacy in human studies.​

"At AstraZeneca, we are applying CETSA in hit identification and lead optimization to identify and characterize compounds for a number of novel targets."

Thomas Lundbäck, Senior Director
