When warranted, ERBC conducts follow-up and supplemental safety pharmacology studies. These studies allow to investigate the mechanism of adverse effects suspected and/or observed through the core battery or the clinical trials programs and/or to evaluate potential adverse pharmacodynamic effects on organ system functions not addressed by the core battery or repeated dose toxicity studies.
