When it comes to Neurological and Psychiatric clinical trials, history would have us believe the future is going to be mired in more of the same – failure.

Over the past decade, 99% of Alzheimer’s drug trials have failed and the likelihood of approval in neuropsychiatry indications is barely 6%. And with nearly a quarter of all Americans having at least one CNS disorder and the majority of effective treatments dating back to the 1950s, the need for better solutions is clear.

The way we see it, past failure isn’t a problem. It’s an opportunity.

An opportunity to ask ‘why?’ When history tells us that participant compliance is one of the biggest challenges to the success of any neurology clinical trial, we listen, learn, and adapt.

An opportunity to improve participant retention and study adherence by creating a trial experience that’s adaptable and as smooth as possible. By incorporating patient and caregiver needs and concerns into the initial study design process, as well as decentralized clinical trial needs, we are able to mitigate and minimize their burden before it becomes a problem – ensuring participants are fully engaged at each and every stage of the trial process.

An opportunity to unite our team of experts. With over 130 years of Neurology and Psychiatry expertise including more than 330 clinical studies, 3,000 sites and 70,000 patients, no matter what challenges may arise during the development of your drug … our team of experts stand ready to utilize their learnings to enhance the success of your drug development program.

An opportunity to utilize the past to advance our future. Our cross-functional collaborative approach allows us to identify challenges earlier, de-risk your development strategy, and eliminate the missteps and delays often caused by silos and handoffs – ultimately ensuring a consistent program that’s flexible and runs smarter and more efficiently.

An opportunity to set a higher standard for neuroscience research by overcoming past challenges and accelerating the patient path to relief and your path to approval.

And the perfect opportunity to do what we do best – create a better experience for our partners.
