Clinical Research Overview

 

Initiating the study of a compound’s effects in humans is the first step in generating the required data for a New Drug Application (NDA).

 

QPS provides full integrated phase 1 services starting from protocol development, patient stratification/genotyping, clinical conduct, bioanalysis, data management/statistical analysis, PK/PD modeling and medical report writing.
