During drug development, toxicology data is used to:
1. Identify Safe Dosage Levels: Determining the maximum tolerated dose and the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL). 2. Predict Human Risk: Translating animal testing data to potential human outcomes through risk assessment models. 3. Guide Clinical Trials: Designing clinical trial protocols that include monitoring for adverse effects. 4. Regulatory Submissions: Compiling data for regulatory approval processes.
