GLP Drug Safety Testing Center

GLP Drug Safety Testing Center

The first-of-its-kind Drug Safety Testing Center (DSC) is a new HKSTP initiative to facilitate the translation of promising therapeutics and medical devices from the preclinical phase to the clinical stage.

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and The Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC International) Accreditation

A drug candidate must first be proven safe before entering clinical trials.

Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) is the managerial quality control system that covers entire organisation and testing procedures to ensure quality, uniformity, consistency, reliability and reproducibility.

DSC follows US FDA GLP requirements. DSC is going to apply for GLP certification from NMPA and OECD in 2024.

The Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC International) is a private, nonprofit organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs. DSC has awarded the Full Accreditation from AAALAC International in March 2024. Study plans are required to seek approval from the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (“IACUC”) which upholds the highest bioethics and commitment to quality animal care.
