Non-interventional studies (NIS) are an essential part of the clinical development program of new drugs. Non-interventional trials – which include post-marketing surveillance studies (PMS), post authorization safety studies (PASS), cohort studies, case-control studies, and register studies – are crucial to integrate the information available at the time of the drug authorization with additional information on safety and, in some cases, also on the efficacy of medicinal products for human use authorized in accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 726/2004.

We have an huge expertise in NIS/PASS both on drugs and MD, conducted in more than 1600 sites and with almost 50.000 pts enrolled. We turn out to be trial best recruiters at European and international level, often competing with world leading players.

Over the years, we have been conducting in Italy many clinical trials on Medical Devices of all classes, both for pre-market and post-market studies, in most Therapeutic Areas.

With the new EU Regulation (EU 2017/745) enforceable beginning 26 May 2021 we are proceeding in the same way with innovative and dedicated solutions in a constantly growing market; in order to perform pre-market clinical trial to support the CE marking of medical devices and conducting PMCF (Post-market clinical Follow-up) studies.

Nutraceuticals are natural bioactive, chemical compounds that have health-promoting, disease-preventing, or medicinal properties. They are a group of products that are more than food but less than pharmaceuticals but, even if there isn’t an internationally accepted definition of these products, from a safety point of view nutraceuticals are trusted products even if they are not approved by authorities like pharmaceuticals. Nutraceutical trial design presents several unique challenges for researchers and we support manufacturers to develop unique claims to use in marketing efforts.

We have an huge expertise in nutraceuticals clinical studies and the results originating from our studies, supporting their effectiveness as well as their general safety, have been also published on International Journals.

Also dermocosmetics have to satisfy severe standards in term of safety and efficacy especially if they are addressed to a paediatric population. Moreover, any claims a Company wishes to make for its product must have robust documentary evidence.

For this reason this kind of product, which is used in a variety of skin disorders, is realized in cooperation with specialists such as dermatologists, paediatricians, ophthalmologists and their characteristics are supported by results obtained from clinical studies.

We are able to assist our clients in this new branch of dermatology which is a valid source of innovative products alternative to drugs.
