“Specialist expertise in platelets”

Our area of unique expertise is in the support of platelet aggregation and other assays of platelet function in clinical trials This is based on the experience of our founding Director, Prof Desmond Fitzgerald, and Java’s track record in studies of antiplatelet agents. Our support maximises the data quality and usefulness of this crucial information in the drug development process. We offer three main services:

Quality control

Provision of training, support and data review to assist the performance of platelet function assays at clinical trial sites. As a CRO specialising in this area, our review and support services reduce errors and identify remaining artifactual results. This yields more reliable platelet function data, reducing the cost and improving the quality of clinical trials.

Tailored studies

Design, management and interpretation of intensive substudies of platelet function. Such studies may address particular areas of concern, or provide evidence to differentiate a compound from competitors.

Consultancy

Expert consultancy and advice on all aspects of platelet pharmacology, clinical trial design, data analysis and drug development.
