ncreasing the speed of bringing important medicines from the research phase to patients who need them is a driving objective for today’s global biopharmaceutical companies.
Covance, one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive drug development companies, has launched Xcellerate, a novel, proprietary methodology designed to help optimise clinical trial performance in order to assist biopharmaceutical companies in improving quality, reducing waste, and decreasing trial timelines –
ultimately increasing their return on clinical trial investment.
Clinical trial design Specifically, the Xcellerate methodology enables Covance to make custom recommendations on site, investigator and geographic selections for every programme it manages, and to help enhance clinical trial design and execution. Xcellerate is not a stand-alone service offering, but is embedded in Covance’s approach to clinical trial management.
“Biopharmaceutical companies have come under increasing pressure in recent years to reduce their R&D spending and re-invigorate their drug development pipelines,” said Rick Cimino, group president, clinical development services, Covance. “We believe that Covance, through Xcellerate, can deliver high value to our clients by improving
