Developing A Robust In Vitro Intestinal Model For Preclinical Candidate Screening Of GI Toxicity

Gastrointestinal (GI) issues are common side effects of many drugs. Anticipating such side effects before clinical trials is limited by a lack of effective models for evaluating preclinical candidates for their potential to cause diarrhea, nausea, and other gut-related side effects. With its RepliGut® in vitro human intestinal model, Altis Biosystems is developing a system that could help pharma companies identify GI toxicity issues early in the drug development process.
