Standardizing preclinical nerve conduction studies (NCS) is crucial for drug safety. This communication offers recommendations for selecting peripheral nerves in primate models to improve detection of drug-induced peripheral neuropathy (PN).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Toxicology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Nerve conduction (NC) tests are vital in preclinical toxicology for assessing drug-induced peripheral neuropathy (PN).
  • Current preclinical nerve conduction studies (NCS) lack standardization, with limited regulatory guidance on nerve selection and testing protocols.
  • Detecting subtle peripheral toxicities requires careful selection of nerve targets, especially when functional changes are near normal limits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide recommendations for selecting peripheral nerves for preclinical nerve conduction testing batteries.
  • To support robust preclinical toxicology study designs, particularly for gene therapy applications.
  • To enhance the standardization and clinical translatability of NCS in toxicology.

  • Compilation of accessible peripheral nerve locations in primate models (upper/lower extremities, motor/sensory nerves).
  • Assessment of technique difficulty and repeatability for serial NCS collections.
  • Data informed by serial nerve conduction measurements from 500 adult primates.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive list of peripheral nerve targets suitable for preclinical toxicology is presented.
  • Rankings for technique difficulty and repeatability are provided for various nerve conduction assays.
  • Recommendations are tailored for application in toxicology and gene therapy studies.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized nerve selection in preclinical NCS is essential for accurate PN assessment.
  • The proposed recommendations facilitate the design of more robust and clinically relevant toxicology studies.
  • This work aims to improve the preclinical implementation and standardization of nerve conduction testing.
