What are the Benefits of ICH Guidelines for Toxicology?
Consistency: By providing a uniform standard, ICH guidelines ensure that toxicological assessments across different regions are consistent in their methodology and rigor. Efficiency: Harmonized guidelines streamline the drug approval process, reducing the need for repeated testing in different regions. Ethical Considerations: The guidelines encourage the reduction, refinement, and replacement of animal testing where possible, promoting ethical research practices. Global Market Access: Following ICH guidelines can facilitate quicker access to global markets, as the data generated are recognized by multiple regulatory agencies.
