Our experienced teams of Project Managers and Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) across Europe and North America, will work closely with your teams, bringing with them a deep understanding of the inherent complexity of phase II trials.

As a full-service CRO, we also offer comprehensive phase I to phase III clinical trial management services.

Optimise Your Trial Using AI-enabled Causal Modeling

Patient selection & targeted design

Determine the optimum sample size and cohort to support efficient clinical trial design with maximum statistical power.

biotx.ai’s causal modeling supports analysis of target, disease and mode of action to provide information crucial to trial design.

Causal modeling can also ensure only the most meaningful clinical endpoints are included and measured in the study.

Phase II Trial Design

Phase II represents a critical point in the development of your drug, often securing sponsorship to continue product development.

With a flexible approach that always keeps your deadlines and budget in mind, the expert scientists at Simbec-Orion will design a strategic phase II trial for your drug that anticipates challenges so as to mitigate risk.

Solid foundations are established through a robust feasibility process. In conjunction with this, your study design will be developed with input from not only our own Medical Directors but also our independent Scientific Advisory Board along with Key Opinion Leaders in the relevant field.

By considering your goals from the outset, we ensure that the phase II trial design will meet your objectives while prioritising patient welfare.

Our deep and extensive experience in phase II trial design and execution means we are familiar with the common challenges, as well as their solutions. Often working with patients from populations that are geographically diverse, we have conducted studies that incorporated patients from regions as far apart as northern Europe and South America. You can be assured that we will design a modular and targeted phase II trial that’s adaptive, strategic, and attentive to detail, delivering the data you need.

Phase II enrolment

Phase II can be the first point at which your drug is tested in patients with the target condition – bringing about new challenges in recruitment.

Simbec-Orion specialises in oncology and rare disease clinical trials. With decades of experience recruiting patients for phase II trials, including for rare or ultra-rare disease studies, and established links to patient advocacy groups and key opinion leaders around the world, we are highly experienced in recruiting patients from limited and disperse populations.

Starting with the phase II trial design, determining the right recruitment strategy and patient pathway on a site-by-site basis is critical to creating an attractive study that will engage patients and facilitate both participation and retention. We can build in decentralised elements, such as home visits from mobile research nurses at a day and time convenient to the patient, in order to minimise disruption and enable participation.

Phase IIa & IIb studies

Simbec-Orion designs and delivers both phase IIa and IIb clinical trials with a range of objectives and methodologies.

Phase IIa, proof of concept studies, and Phase IIb, definitive dose-finding studies, come with unique requirements, objectives, and challenges that we have come across many times. Rather than having to generate brand new resolutions, we have established tried-and-tested solutions to any problem your phase II trial could encounter.

Our local clinical teams have strong site relationships with leading research sites across the globe, including large academic sites. Over more than 27 years of conducting late-phase clinical trials, Simbec-Orion has developed a robust foundation of expertise, site-level knowledge, and relationships that are the foundation to successfully managing trials. We command the regulatory intelligence and expertise to initiate trials within Europe, the US, and across the globe, complemented by local nuances such as site contracting requirements.

A full service CRO

In addition to phase II trials, Simbec-Orion offers fully integrated phase I and phase III clinical services, plus biometricscentral laboratory servicesprotocol writing and clinical operational support, monitoring and pharmacovigilance.

Our established and stable teams mean that our partners can confidently create a lasting partnership with Simbec-Orion. We continuously strive to build trust, through open and transparent communication pathways, always employing a one-team approach, with quality and transparency built in from the start.

Establishing a longer-term relationship across different phases of your drug’s development allows us to synchronise and streamline program elements such as contractual processes, vendor selection, communication, transfer of data and information etc., and accomplish both time and cost efficiencies across your development program.

Together, we can take your drug’s development through every step of its journey.
