Toxicology Case study

Recent studies support the potential of a drug that is derived from the metal iridium to effectively treat cancer. This

experimental drug, Drug ZL105, has not been tested for efficacy and toxicity. Imagine that you are the one responsible for

approving or denying the use of this drug within the United States. Your job is to propose the testing that is needed for this drug

to be determined as safe and effective for the treatment of cancer in humans. Address the following: What model(s) will you use for

testing (i.e., animal, cell cultures, computer simulations)? Explain the choice of model, and provide support for the reliability

of the model. Discuss the pros and cons of your choice. In determining the safety and effectiveness of the drug, would it be

necessary to test efficacy, toxicity, and lethality? Explain what each of these tests are for and whether or not one or more of the

tests are necessary for your determination. Provide your thoughts on what information you hope to gather
