Beacon will conduct targeted non-clinical, clinical, and Chemical, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) testing of MCM candidates to reduce the risk of failure in advanced development. Beacon will also perform studies targeting operationally relevant parameters to demonstrate effectiveness in a simulated operational environment. Beacon will establish and maintain a robust pipeline, seamlessly transitioning successful candidates to continued advanced development.
