Preclinical studies, also known as nonclinical studies, are research conducted before clinical trials involving humans. The goals of preclinical studies are to determine a safe dose and assess a product's safety profile. Products tested in preclinical studies can include new drugs, medical devices, gene therapy solutions, and diagnostic tools.
