Carcinogenicity studies

6-month Carcinogenicity Study

The 6-month carcinogenicity study is a shorter-duration assay designed to provide early insisht into the tumorigenic potential of new pharmaceutical compounds. Often used in parallel with other toxicity studies or as a part of a weight-of-evidence strategy, it serves as a valuable tool for screening and prioritizing drug candidates during development. We offer  GLP-compliant 6-month studies that deliver high-quality data quickly and efficiently helping you make informed decisions on the path to regulatory approval.

Efficient cancer risk screening for early development phases

Typically performed in transgenic mouse models, such as Tg.rasH2, this assay enables rapid evaluation of carcinogenic potential using sensitive endpoints and shorter timeframes. It is often used as an alternative to 2-years studies under the ICH S1B testing paradigm when supported by a comprehensive toxicological and pharmacological data package. Main advantages of this model include a shorter study duration of approximately 26 weeks , the use of genetically modified animal models such as rasH2 or p53+/-, and the ability to detect early-stage carcinogenic effects with high sensitivity.
