With a focus on pharmaceuticals, medical devices, nutritional products, and environmental chemicals, our scientists aid clients in the conduct, evaluation, and interpretation of epidemiologic and HEOR studies with results frequently disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, regulatory documents, and presentations at scientific conferences. Our focus on sound science and rigorous methodology provides high-quality solutions that are direct, comprehensive, and rapid to support the unmet needs of patients and caregivers.

CNS Clinical Development, Regulatory and Investor Strategies

Our world renowned physicians, scientists and engineers help pharmaceutical, and biotech companies forge new paths for treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. We leverage our disease specific knowledge and real-world experience to identify, clarify, and solve pre-clinical, clinical development, biostatistical, and regulatory issues essential to product development and approval, and assist in due diligence for asset acquisition, development, or commercialization.

Pharmaceutical Commercialization

We work collaboratively with our clients to define and quantify the value of their therapies for payers, patients, and providers. Our scientists and commercialization professionals develop value messages, and evidence strategy. We conduct research, including real-world evidence studies and health economic models (cost-effectiveness, cost-consequence and budget impact) that quantify unmet need and value and communicate that value through publications, presentations, dossiers, and HCEI materials.

New Approach Methods for Toxicology Research

This Center of Excellence for 21st Century Toxicology is applying innovative methods and approaches in toxicology testing and using these data to integrate into next generation risk assessments. Our scientific experts support your safety decision process by applying new tools and methodologies to address emerging toxicology challenges while reducing the need for animal research.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • Acadia Pharmaceuticals
