Clinical Study Strategy and Design

Our focus and expertise in clinical pharmacology and its role in drug development is our differentiator. Clinical study strategy is about much more than one study, it’s about an integrated approach to designing, conducting, analyzing, and interpreting data within the context of your overall drug development program.

The collection of relevant and high-quality clinical pharmacology study data requires both robust protocol design and experienced study oversight. Careful planning with the help of clinical pharmacologists or pharmacokineticists is crucial to make the most of the data collected. As part of any study design, your clinical pharmacology strategy should establish an understanding of existing data and how to maximize the impact of the next study on the overall plan and ultimately, the product label.

Allucent has deep experience in delivering the study rationale, design, dose(s) justification, participant population rationale (diversity), PK and/or PD sampling strategy, pharmacogenetic sampling, analysis plans, interpretation, and reporting of data for clinical trials across all phases.
