Clinical Pharmacology and Phase I in Drug Development

Introducing a drug into the human body for the first time is an important milestone. With so much at stake, human safety and early efficacy are now driving more go / no-go decisions than ever before. We focus on two critical aspects of your study — scientific integrity and human subject safety.

When it comes to developing your clinical pharmacologystudies for biologicsandsmall molecules, you need a global partner that can get it done. As a team, we’ll work together to transform your preclinical safety data into robust protocols forPhase Isafety in healthy subjects and patients.

Clinical pharmacology is the link between the preclinical data and the targeted population. Your team of scientists and clinicians put principles into action by closely monitoring testing, including preliminary evaluation of drug safety, tolerance and pharmacokinetics. As more information on your molecule becomes available, we'll scrutinize development progress and deliver unique insights for decisions.

As your drug moves toward registration, expertise across complex, specialty and standard studies can mean the difference between one partner and managing multiple vendors. You’ll have access to more than316 beds at four sitesacross the United States and Europe. As one of the largest early-stage clinical research organizations in the world, you’ll find a study to meet your needs.
