Safety pharmacology studies are defined in the International Conference on Harmonization (known as the ICH) S7A guidance as “those studies that investigate the potential undesirable pharmacodynamic effects of a substance on physiological functions in relation to exposure in the therapeutic range and above.” In other words, they are a set of tests focused on potentially adverse effects of pharmaceutical or biological agents, differing from traditional toxicology studies as they are typically concentrated on a single organ or physiological system.
