Phase 1 Clinical Trials
Early-phase CNS studies are unique; very different from trials in other indications that don’t involve the brain. Drug developers working in psychiatric and neurological indications must document CNS activity, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. It takes a company with expertise to deliver the early-phase data that launch an investigational new drug into late phase clinical development.
Impeccable execution. Quality. Speed. Enabled by unparalleled CNS project teams.

I must say, I spend a lot of my time these days trying to persuade people that controlled trials are the only way to get information that’s reliable about drugs.
