GLP Toxicology Study Report

Write the final report of a GLP repeat-dose toxicity study: design, findings by dose, unscheduled deaths, toxicokinetics and deviations, with the NOAEL set from the adverse findings and the GLP and QA statements checked.

Writes
4.2.3.2
Product type
Small molecule and biologics
Guidance it follows
21 CFR Part 58; OECD Principles of GLP; OECD TG 407, 408, 409; ICH M3(R2); ICH S3A (toxicokinetics)
Time to learn
About 20 minutes with the example

1. What this module does

You enter the groups with their doses and animal numbers, the findings by dose with the change versus control, any unscheduled deaths and the deviations.

The tool sets the NOAEL as the highest dose with no adverse finding at that or any lower dose, compares it with the NOAEL the study director proposes, and checks group sizes, dose selection, recovery and toxicokinetics, deviations and the GLP compliance and QA statements.

What you get

  • A Word or PDF report: GLP toxicology study report (Module 4.2.3.2).

2. Before you start

Have these ready. You can still start with the example data and replace it piece by piece.

  • Groups, doses and animal numbers.
  • Findings by dose with the change versus control.
  • Deviations with their impact assessment.
Your data stays on your computer. The bar under the title counts every network request the page makes; it stays at 0 because your data never leaves your computer. Download offline copy saves a single file that opens from your own computer with all network access blocked, for air-gapped PCs.

3. Step by step with the example

Open the tool at app.cmcfy.com/app/glp-toxicology-report.html. The example is loaded when the page opens, so every panel already has realistic data. Follow the steps to see how it works, then replace the example with your own data.

  1. Describe the study

    Enter the study number, title, facility and study director, the species type and the dosing and recovery periods.

    GLP Toxicology Study Report
  2. Enter groups and findings

    One row per group and per finding. Write "yes" in Adverse for each adverse finding.

  3. Read the result

    The headline gives the NOAEL: "NOAEL 30 mg/kg/day · report complete".

    Groups, findings and the NOAEL.
    Groups, findings and the NOAEL.
  4. Resolve alerts and download

    A missing GLP or QA statement and test item related deaths are critical. A proposed NOAEL that differs from the findings, body weight loss of 10% or more marked not adverse, and deviations without an impact assessment are flagged. Then preview and download.

4. Field reference

Every input in the tool, panel by panel. Tables accept rows pasted straight from Excel, comma-separated text, or a loaded file; check the columns after loading a file. Fields marked “when it applies” appear only for the choices that need them.

2 · Groups

One row per group. Dose 0 is the control. Recovery and toxicokinetic (TK) animals per sex.

FieldWhat to enter
GroupsA table. Columns: Group | Dose (mg/kg/day) | Main animals per sex | Recovery animals per sex | TK animals per sex. Paste rows from Excel, type comma-separated rows, or press Load file (Excel, CSV, Word, PDF or a scan).

3 · Findings

One row per finding and dose group. Change versus control in % where it applies. Adverse: yes when the finding is adverse; Reversible: yes when it recovered.

FieldWhat to enter
FindingsGive the change versus control with its sign, for example -12 for a 12% decrease. A table. Columns: Dose (mg/kg/day) | Finding | Change vs control (%) | Adverse (yes/no) | Reversible (yes/no). Paste rows from Excel, type comma-separated rows, or press Load file (Excel, CSV, Word, PDF or a scan).
Unscheduled deathsA table. Columns: Dose (mg/kg/day) | Animal | Cause | Test item related (yes/no). Paste rows from Excel, type comma-separated rows, or press Load file (Excel, CSV, Word, PDF or a scan).
Protocol and SOP deviationsA table. Columns: Deviation | Description | Impact assessed (yes/no). Paste rows from Excel, type comma-separated rows, or press Load file (Excel, CSV, Word, PDF or a scan).
Toxicokinetics (AUC at each dose, ng·h/mL)Type it in.
NOAEL proposed by the study director (mg/kg/day)Type a number.

5. Checks and alerts

Calculations and pass/fail outcomes always come from fixed rules, never from AI. The tool checks:

  • NOAEL from the adverse findings.
  • Group sizes, dose levels, high-dose justification, recovery and toxicokinetics.
  • GLP and QA statements, deviations and archive.

How to resolve alerts

  • Critical alerts block the download and must be fixed in the data. A failing result can instead be linked to an investigation: type the investigation reference and outcome and press Record.
  • Major alerts block the download until you fix them or type a justification and press Accept justification.
  • Minor alerts do not block anything. They are listed in the documents so the reviewer sees them.
  • Some alerts have an Apply fix button that makes the change for you. Reopen undoes a justification.

Narratives

This module writes: Conclusion. Each narrative is written by fixed rules from your data. You can edit it in the box. Rewrite with AI (where your plan includes AI) rewrites it in regulatory style; every number in the text is checked against your data, and a number that does not match is flagged under the box and blocks the download until you correct it. Reset to rule-based text brings back the original.

6. Preview, gap review and download

  1. Press Preview next to a section, or Preview and download all. The document opens in a preview window, exactly as the Word file will read.
  2. The left side lists the review, run on your device: gaps in the data (missing values, open alerts), gaps in the report (missing content the guidance expects, placeholders such as [site] or TBD left in the text) and, if you load the approved protocol under Compare with the protocol, differences from the protocol (requirements, criteria, batches or time points it plans that the report does not show).
  3. Click a finding to jump to the place in the preview. Fix it in the tool, then preview again.
  4. Optional AI review: a second read for contradictions, claims without data and vague wording. The report text is sent to Claude only when you press it, and only where your plan includes AI. Check every AI finding; AI can be wrong.
  5. Press Download Word (.docx) or Download PDF. With several documents open, All as Word (.zip) and All as PDF (.zip) download the set. The download buttons stay disabled while a blocking alert is open; the preview still works.

Documents this module produces

Use Save project to keep your work as a file on your computer, and Open project to continue later. Start blank clears every field; Load example brings the example back. Nothing is stored on CMCfy servers.

7. US and EU submissions

US: 21 CFR Part 58. EU: OECD Principles of GLP (Directive 2004/10/EC). The OECD test guidelines apply to both.

9. Common pitfalls

  • A NOAEL set at a dose with an adverse finding.
  • Deviations listed without an impact assessment.

10. Practice exercises

Each exercise starts from the example (press Load example to reset). We run these on every update of this guide, so the result you see should match.

  1. Make a finding adverse

    Mark the liver weight increase at 30 mg/kg/day as adverse.

    Expected resultThe headline shows the proposed NOAEL differs from the findings.
