Our Services for Early Phase Clinical Development
Key Services in Early-Phase Clinical Development
Study Design and Planning
- Protocol Development: Designing trial protocols tailored to study objectives, regulatory requirements, and therapeutic areas.
- Regulatory Submissions: Preparing and submitting Investigational New Drug (IND) applications and obtaining Ethics Committee/IRB approvals.
- Feasibility Studies: Assessing the viability of the trial in terms of patient recruitment, site selection, and resource allocation.
Clinical Trial Conduct
First-in-Human (FIH) Studies :
Patient and Site Management
Clinical Pharmacology Services
Specialized Testing:
- Advanced biomarker and genetic testing to refine study results.
Modeling and Simulation:
- Predicting human responses using computational models based on preclinical data.
Data Management and Analysis
- Electronic Data Capture (EDC): Implementing systems to ensure accurate, real-time data collection.
- Statistical Analysis: Designing and executing analyses to evaluate trial results.
- Safety Reporting: Ongoing monitoring and reporting of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).
Specialized Capabilities
- Phase 0 Trials (Microdosing Studies): Gathering early PK data with minimal drug exposure.
- Translational Research: Bridging preclinical findings with clinical data to optimize dosing and therapeutic strategies.
Regulatory and Compliance Support
- Ensuring compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and local regulations.
- Liaising with regulatory agencies for expedited approval pathways (e.g., orphan drugs, breakthrough therapy designations).
Integrated Services
- Bioanalysis: Providing laboratory services for PK/PD samples.
- Early Patient Studies: For niche areas like rare diseases or oncology, CROs often handle early patient-based trials instead of just healthy volunteers.
Advantages of Using a CRO for Early-Phase Trials
Expertise: CROs have specialized knowledge in therapeutic areas, regulatory landscapes, and operational efficiencies.
Speed and Efficiency: Established processes for site selection, recruitment, and trial execution accelerate timelines.
Cost-Effectiveness: Outsourcing avoids the need for maintaining in-house infrastructure and expertise.
Global Reach: We offer access to diverse patient populations and trial sites worldwide.
Indivirtus Global CRO has highly knowledgeable, experienced, and trained staff who can manage complex early phase studies. Indivirtus Global CRO even provides master protocol services, in which several objectives may be met in a single protocol, saving time and money on protocol approval.
