Mechanistic Safety Evaluation

Meaning

Mechanistic Safety Evaluation is a rigorous, systematic assessment focused on precisely identifying and elucidating the specific molecular and cellular pathways through which a therapeutic agent, supplement, or intervention exerts its toxicological or adverse effects. This evaluation moves beyond merely observing clinical side effects to understanding the underlying biological sequence of events that leads to harm. It provides a predictive framework for anticipating and mitigating clinical risks.
