A number of issues may arise during the conduct of a study which can complicate interpretation of in vitro and in vivo datasets. Speakers discussed the implications of differing interpretations and how to avoid complicating factors during study planning and execution. Consideration needs to be given to study design factors including defining objectives, consideration of expected pharmacological effects, dose selection and drug kinetics, species used, and vehicle selection. In addition, the effects of vivarium temperature effects on various endpoints, how to control variables affecting clinical pathology, and how early death animals, common background findings, and artifacts can affect histopathology interpretation all play into the final interpretation of study data.
