Chronic disease models

Chronic disease models

Chronic diseases include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, osteoporosis, etc. These diseases usually require long-term management and treatment, imposing a significant health and economic burden on patients and society as a whole.

1、Struggling with long R&D cycles and low clinical conversion rates for chronic disease drugs? Customized in vivo efficacy platform accelerates reliable efficacy verification

Industry Pain Point:

Poor stability in the construction of traditional chronic disease models and limited clinical relevance lead to a disconnect between preclinical data and clinical effects, resulting in high R&D costs and long cycles.

Value proposition:

Leveraging a multi-species, multi-mechanism chronic disease model platform to provide highly predictive in vivoefficacy data, shortening drug screening cycles by 30% and reducing the risk of clinical failure.

2、Service Overview

Key Bottlenecks and Solutions for Preclinical Efficacy Evaluation of Chronic Disease Drugs

  1. Industry positioning: Preclinical efficacy verification of chronic disease drugs (e.g., metabolic, cardiovascular, fibrotic diseases) is a core step for IND filing, yet pathological differences between animal models and the human body often lead to unreliable data.
  1. Core pain points:
    • Poor model stability: Such as significant blood glucose fluctuations in diabetic models and insufficient pathological reproducibility in liver fibrosis models.
    • Single endpoint indicators: Reliance on basic biochemical indicators such as blood glucose and liver enzymes, lacking multi-dimensional mechanism verification.
  1. Solutions:
    • Improve the clinical relevance of data through standardized chronic disease model construction (e.g., STZ-induced diabetes, CCl4-induced liver fibrosis) combined with multi-dimensional evaluation including imaging, histopathology and molecular detection.
    • Objective: Shorten R&D cycles and reduce the cost of repeated experiments caused by model failure.
