Biotechs get scalable early to late phase clinical offering from Cromos Pharma and Avance Clinical collaboration in Australia and Europe
October 8, 2020
Two dominant regional contract research organizations (CRO), Avance Clinical and Cromos Pharma, with operations in Australia and Central/Eastern Europe, respectively, are successfully collaborating on a scalable clinical solution for biotechs.
Dublin/Ireland – Adelaide/Australia – Two dominant regional contract research organizations (CRO), Avance Clinical and Cromos Pharma, with operations in Australia and Central/Eastern Europe, respectively, are successfully collaborating on a scalable clinical solution for biotechs.
The collaboration allows biotechs to quickly
start their pre-IND early phase studies in Australia, then expand to
Central/Eastern Europe to access the large patient populations for their Phase
2 and 3 studies.
Importantly, the AU/EU model allows
biotechs to keep their data and trial management in Australia, and take
advantage of the Australian cash rebate of up to 43.5% on clinical trial costs,
throughout all study phases, across both regions.
“We are very excited about this model that
seamlessly incorporates two of the most compelling and complementary
international clinical research hubs for our biotech clients from early to late
phase studies,” said Yvonne Lungershausen, CEO of Avance Clinical. “Our eClinical
and early phase expertise is well augmented by Cromos Pharma’s track record in
late stage trials and rapid enrollment capabilities,” she continued.
“We have been collaborating with Avance
Clinical and referring clients to each other for years,” remarked Vlad Bogin,
CEO of Cromos Pharma. “But it was a true Eureka moment when we realized that combining
Australia’s 43.5% tax rebate with Central/Eastern Europe’s unbeatable
recruitment rates is a paradigm shift in how clinical trials should be
conducted,” he concluded.
Cromos Pharma can access hundreds of millions
of patients via more than 2,500 sites in Central/Eastern Europe.
