Avance Clinical Leads DCT Technology Adoption Globally

By Company News, In the NewsNo Comments

Adelaide, Australia, North Carolina, USA – GlobalData and Clinical Trial Arena have identified Avance Clinical as the global leader in Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) technology adoption with 46% of their trials incorporating some elements of DCT technologies in 2022 including telemedicine, remote monitoring, and digital data collection.

The DCT report also noted that Avance Clinical’s staff training in DCT technologies was a key factor in the ranking. See the full report here

Avance Clinical which is globally recognized for quality data, delivers cost and time benefits for clinical-stage biotechs. The company’s GlobalReady model supports biotech clinical development from early to late phase across Avance Clinical’s operations in Australia, New Zealand, and North America.

More than 280 Phase III global biotech have conducted their Phase I study in Australia and then expanded globally, which demonstrates the quality of Australian data with the FDA and other major regulatory authorities.

According to the report:

“Clinical Trials Arena has established an exclusive taxonomic approach that involves reviewing thousands of drug trial public records from 2022 that mentioned decentralisation terminology in the study protocols, as curated in the Clinical Trials Database by GlobalData, the parent company of Clinical Trials Arena. Decentralisation terminology includes DCT elements such as telemedicine, remote monitoring, digital data collection, and more.”

Priya Nair, senior clinical trial analyst at GlobalData said this was a rapidly growing offering in CRO. “The US has a massive push to use DCTs because the FDA guidance wants more diversity in trials, and diversity goes hand in hand with DCTs,” she explained.

Avance Clinical CEO Yvonne Lungershausen, said Avance Clinical uses the full range of eClincial technologies including ePro, eSource  and eConsent to support biotech clinical trials.

“Having an expert team trained in the latest technologies is key to success for a CRO working across regions with multiple regulatory authorities and requirements.”

“DCT elements are being incorporated in trials to further manage biotech time and budget challenges and to offer diverse and remote patient populations access to clinical trials,” said Lungershausen.

The pandemic has been the catalyst in speeding up the adoption of decentralised clinical trial methods including home-based and remote monitoring options.

There are considerable benefits to DCT’s including:

  • Reduce the scheduling and travel burden on patients
  • Providing care from the comfort of the patient’s home
  • Connecting patients to trials on a global scale – patients that were otherwise inaccessible under more traditional trial protocols are now available

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, cloud computing, and blood self-collection devices are all revolutionizing the decentralized clinical trial process.

  • Wearable devices are demonstrating enormous potential whether worn as a wrist strap or as an adhesive patch on the body.  AI-embedded capabilities allow these devices to measure a patient’s heart rate or metabolism remotely. Linked to the cloud through secure networks, clinicians can receive and analyse the data in real-time.
  • Video calling and electronic reminders, can improve patient compliance in trials – prompting participants to take their medication at the right time or to record in their electronic diary development.
  • Technologies are developing to allow patient-centric sampling (self-collection of specimens) with devices that require either the use of a lancet or a finger prick whereas others do not, making clinical trials even more convenient.

Enveric Biosciences Selects Australian CRO, Avance Clinical, in Preparation for Phase 1 Study of EB-373

By Client News, Company NewsNo Comments

EB-373, a proprietary psilocin prodrug, is on track to start its first-in-human clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2023

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. –
Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENVB) (“Enveric” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and addiction disorders, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Avance Clinical, an Australia-based contract research organization (CRO) with US operations, for its planned Phase 1 clinical trial of EB-373, the company’s lead candidate targeting the treatment of anxiety disorders. The Phase 1 clinical trial is expected to initiate in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Under the agreement, Avance Clinical will manage the Phase 1 clinical trial of EB-373 in coordination with Enveric’s newly established Australian subsidiary, Enveric Therapeutics Pty, Ltd. The Phase 1 clinical trial is designed as a multi-cohort, dose-ascending study to measure the safety and tolerability of EB-373. EB-373, a next-generation proprietary psilocin prodrug, has been recognized as a New Chemical Entity (NCE) by Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and is currently in preclinical development targeting the treatment of anxiety disorder.

“With our Australia subsidiary established, we are actively preparing to initiate the planned Phase 1 trial of EB-373 and are pleased to have Avance Clinical as our CRO partner, given the company’s proven expertise and experience managing early-stage clinical programs in Australia,” said Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., Director and CEO of Enveric Bioscience. “EB-373 has the potential to bring much-needed innovation to the treatment of anxiety disorder, which is underserved by current therapeutic options. We are eager to evaluate the potential of EB-373 in this first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial as an initial step towards building a broader pipeline of proprietary psilocin prodrugs and other innovative, psychedelic-inspired compounds for a range of mental health conditions.”

“We are excited to work with Enveric and are eager to leverage the expertise we’ve gained from managing early-stage clinical programs in Australia to empower the development of EB-373,” said Yvonne Lungershausen, Avance Clinical CEO. “We look forward to being a valued partner to Enveric in the execution of the EB-373 clinical program and ensuring the highest quality data is generated to support global regulatory filings.”

About EB-373

Enveric’s lead drug candidate, EB-373, is a New Chemical Entity (NCE), designed as a next-generation proprietary psilocin prodrug and developed leveraging its Psybrary™ drug discovery platform to target anxiety disorders. In preclinical studies, EB-373 interacted effectively with different types of serotonin receptors, including the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor resulting in the induction of the characteristic head twitch response in mice. In an animal behavioral model of anxiety, the Marble Burying Test in chronically stressed mice, EB-373 was able to promptly rescue the rate of marble burying on day 1 in line with the control rate at baseline, with lasting benefits up to the end of the experiment 7 days post-dose.

About Enveric Biosciences

Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) is a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and addiction disorders. Leveraging its unique discovery and development platform, The Psybrary™, Enveric has created a robust Intellectual Property portfolio of New Chemical Entities for specific mental health indications. Enveric’s lead program, EB-373, is a next-generation prodrug of psilocin, the active metabolite of psilocybin. EB-373 is the lead drug candidate from the EVM201 Series, currently advancing through preclinical development to treat anxiety disorders. Enveric is also advancing its third generation of therapeutics, the EVM301 Series, which aims to eliminate the psychedelic experience and remove unwanted effects, reduce safety concerns, and offer a novel and holistic approach to treating central nervous system disorders.
