Avania clinical safety management specializes in the distillation and dissemination of the information you need to design an efficient program and bring your product to market.

During the conduct of trials, investigators and their colleagues have questions that require medical training to answer. These questions may involve interpreting protocol details, ensuring consistency regarding how medical care and protocol assessments are delivered to patients, addressing immediate concerns about safety issues, and more. Avania can provide an M.D. and support staff who will serve as a single point of medical knowledge to ensure the protocol is executed as intended and sites conduct the trial in harmony.

Avania offers medical monitoring services directly or can integrate with and support a medical monitor you provide.

Avania’s safety management and study oversight committees are comprised of therapeutically aligned experts. These committees support the integrity of clinical study data by conducting an unbiased and independent review of endpoints and safety data to ensure objectivity.
