We’re known for analgesia

Laying the foundation for modern pain research

Much of the foundation for modern analgesia research was built here, and we have conducted more studies than any other CRO.

We have performed more than 870 trials across every type of pain, and many of the pain models that are today’s industry standards were invented here. With industry-leading access to patients, sites, and motivated investigators, we get trials running quickly.

PREMIER PERSPECTIVE

Mitigating the placebo response

The etiology of the placebo effect is multifactorial and includes an expectation of benefit, response bias, and psychological or cultural factors. We explore how trial designs and training programs may be used to help reduce the placebo effect in analgesia clinical trials.

Neuropathic pain trial sites

Of all the truisms that apply to clinical drug research, probably none is more universally accepted than this one: “There’s no substitute for experience.” But if you’re working in an indication that is not widely studied, selecting sites on the basis of experience can be difficult.
