Drug-drug Interaction (DDI) Studies Services

Pharmacokinetic-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs) can be a major issue during drug development. As populations expand and life expectancy increases, the extent and frequency of patients being prescribed multiple concomitant medications is growing. Consequently, the potential risks for adverse drug interactions due to DDIs occurring is also increasing. To help our partners minimize these risks in new drugs, Pharmaron offers an expansive portfolio of drug-drug interaction services.

Pharmaron offers a comprehensive range of in vitro assays designed to meet the requirements of the latest regulatory DDI guidance published by the FDA (2020) and JMHLW (2018).  GLP studies can be conducted for regulatory submission.
