ICH S7B Cardiac Safety Compliance Testing
The ICH (International Conference on Harmonisation) guideline S7B focuses on cardiac safety testing, which is crucial for ensuring the safety of new pharmaceuticals. This service ensures that your drug candidates meet stringent regulatory requirements by providing comprehensive cardiac toxicity assessments.
Cardiac safety studies are essential to identify potential risks associated with a molecule before it enters clinical trials or reaches the market. These tests can help prevent serious adverse events and ensure patient safety. Regulatory bodies worldwide, including FDA (US), EMA (EU), and TGA (Australia), require this testing for new drug applications.
The ICH S7B guideline is designed to provide a harmonized approach across different regions, ensuring that cardiac safety evaluations are consistent and robust. This service covers various aspects of cardiac toxicity evaluation, including electrophysiology studies (EPS) using QT interval prolongation as an endpoint, as well as specialized tests like the Holter monitoring study.
Electrophysiological testing is critical in assessing the risk of arrhythmias caused by drug exposure. The Holter monitor provides continuous electrocardiogram recordings over 24 hours or longer periods, allowing for the detection of transient arrhythmias that might not be apparent during standard clinical trials.
- International Acceptance and Recognition:
- The FDA accepts ICH S7B-compliant cardiac safety data as part of its review process.
- The EMA also requires compliance with this guideline for marketing authorization applications.
- ICH S7B is widely accepted in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan and China.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment to perform these tests. For example, we have access to advanced electrophysiology laboratories equipped with sophisticated pacing systems and analysis software. These tools enable precise measurement of the QT interval and other key parameters.
In addition to these technical capabilities, our team comprises experienced pharmacologists and toxicologists who specialize in cardiac safety testing. They work closely with clients throughout the testing process to ensure that all aspects are addressed thoroughly. This includes careful specimen preparation, which involves precise dosing schedules and detailed documentation of patient history.
The results from these tests are reported according to ICH S7B standards, ensuring consistency across different regulatory environments. Our reports include detailed descriptions of the methods used, observations made during testing, and conclusions drawn based on those observations. These documents serve as critical inputs for further development stages or potential approval processes.
