About Avance Clinical

Avance Clinical, a leading Australian-based CRO for biotechs, brings more than 30 years of experience to companies taking their first programs into the clinic and beyond. We have partnered with more than 700 emerging biotechs and supported more than 33,000 participants in the past 10 years.

Our Asia Hub in South Korea works alongside our operations in Australia, North America, and Europe, so Korean biotechs can plan early-phase trials in Australia and later-phase expansion with one partner and local support.

Avance Clinical is exhibiting at K-INNO WEEK 2026 at Booth C116-2 in the Australia Pavilion to meet with Korean biotechs and discuss how a program can move from Korea into the clinic and on to global markets.

 

Why Meet With Avance Clinical at K-INNO WEEK

Faster Entry Into the Clinic with the Australian Advantage

Australia lets biotechs start most early-phase trials without an IND, with study start-up in 5–6 weeks from final protocol to approval and R&D rebates of up to 43.5% on eligible spend. The resulting data is accepted by the TGA, FDA, EMA, and MHRA.

Local Support for Korean Sponsors

Korean biotechs work with a CRO that already operates in their market. With our Asia Hub in South Korea, sponsors have local support from the first conversation through first dosing in Australia and beyond.

Early Data Built for the Markets That Come Next

Avance Clinical’s in-house scientific and regulatory expertise shapes study design and global regulatory strategy from the start, so a first-in-human dataset is designed to support the submissions a program will need in North America, Europe, and Asia.

One Partner Across Every Region with GlobalReady

Through the GlobalReady program, biotechs work with a single CRO from first-in-human through later-phase, multi-country studies across Australia, Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. This integrated approach is designed to maintain aligned teams and consistent data standards as a program grows.

Therapeutic Depth Across More Than 250 Indications

Experience in more than 250 indications, with specialties in oncology, CNS, and renal and cardiometabolic.
