East Millstone, N.J. – Envigo, a provider of non-clinical contract research services and research models, announced the launch of PATHWAY-an integrated solution that optimizes non-clinical safety assessment programs to enable first-in-human clinical trials. PATHWAY is designed to manage the complexity of the entire safety assessment process on behalf of the company’s pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers by integrating safety assessment study types and bioanalytical support with scientific and regulatory consulting, program design, and project management.
The decision to develop the PATHWAY solution was made in order to help our customers navigate the increased scientific and regulatory complexity facing advanced therapies going through safety assessment. The intricacy of design and management of these critical non-clinical programs, and the level of interaction with regulatory bodies required, raises the risk of introducing delays and costs to development programs. PATHWAY has been designed to leverage Envigo’s capacity, capabilities, and experience in the field to optimize safety assessment programs and deliver translational biology insights to prepare customers for first-in-human clinical trials.
“Our deep expertise in the complex fields of biologics and advanced therapies adds particular value to our customers with drug development programs in these growing categories. On our customers’ behalf, we frequently work with regulators to determine the most appropriate interpretation of regulatory guidance as it applies to a specific therapeutic,” commented Lee Coney, Envigo’s Chief Scientific Officer.
“PATHWAY makes full use of our beginning-to-end understanding of the safety assessment process, and optimizes the journey to first-in-human studies. Experience of designing and conducting studies in a wide range of therapeutic modalities, and in working with regulatory agencies around the world, means we are able to anticipate the needs of a program at design stage, plan studies accordingly, and manage an optimal timeline of study execution,” Lee Coney added.
With harmonized facilities with AAALAC accreditation in Europe and North America, Envigo further seeks to optimize safety assessment programs by ensuring studies are carried out at centers of excellence and where capacity permits the earliest possible start date for commencing work.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
