By GlobalDataTo serve biotechs across the globe, Novotech uses its deep associations created with several Asia-Pacific sites over the past 25 years.
NCGS supports this approach with an extensive site base in the US comprising hundreds of investigators with associations spanning nearly 40 years.
NCGS founder and CEO Nancy Snowden said: “Novotech and NCGS have a longstanding collaboration history of over a decade which will also support the seamless integration.”
“NCGS focuses on complex areas of clinical development; oncology, haematology, infectious disease, and CNS in both adult and paediatric populations.
In January this year, Novotech entered a strategic collaboration with healthcare data technology company Prospection to merge the power of real-world data and clinical trials to deliver therapies to patients rapidly.
Under the deal, Novotech will invest in Prospection, with the latter becoming a technology partner of the company.
Prospection will offer real-world data analytics for trial feasibility analysis, execution and recruitment in the Asia-Pacific region.
