Nuvisan phase 1– 2 services expertise

Nuvisan offers early-stage services to pharma, biotech and medtech companies from a single location in Germany.

From first-in-human and regulatory studies within our clinical pharmacology unit (CPU) to multicentre proof-of-concept studies, we provide integrated early-phase clinical services; including conduct, laboratory and trial supply services.

Nuvisan phase 1-2 trial expertise

Seamless clinical solutions – one destination

Nuvisan clinical services offer significant advantages:

  • International quality standards: adherence to ICH and inspected by FDA, EMA, WHO and ANVISA
  • Integrated expertise: reliable planning and project implementation with >95% of projects delivered on time and on budget
  • Complete clinical development support: innovative products, generics, biosimilars and medical devices
  • End-to-end support: from full clinical services, clinical (safety) laboratory, bioanalysis and biomarkers, to full trial supply-management support (including auditing, import and EU QP release)
  • Client-centric approach: agile, flexible and responsive collaboration, tailored to your needs.
Regulatory strategy and compliance

Nuvisan can help guide the adoption of development strategies for early clinical steps, from pre-clinical translation to achieving POC in patients as early as possible.

Regulatory strategy and compliance

We have successfully implemented strategies for FIH trial submissions, leading or supporting the clinical study protocol (CSP) design process to meet regulatory objectives regarding primary and secondary endpoints.

Further strategies such as combining SAD and MAD studies, for example, require articulating clear rules in the umbrella protocol for dose escalation and stopping criteria.

Nuvisan also supports the organisation of scientific advice procedures and dialogue with regulatory agencies.

Early-phase clinical expertise

Nuvisan’s fully automated Clinical Pharmacology Unit (CPU) in Neu-Ulm, Germany conducts various types of FIH trials, including combined protocols (e.g. SAD / MAD), PK/PD, POC and regulatory studies such as DDI, TQT, Relative BA, BE, biosimilarity and FE.

We also support studies in special populations and patients requiring partial hospitalisation, with complex endpoints as well as additional PD markers and biomarkers.

Our board-certified physicians, clinical teams and external collaborators help ensure strict adherence to regulations and protocols, implementing study-specific assessments from simple to complex.

Early-phase clinical trial expertise

Participant engagement services

At Nuvisan, we help ensure efficient and timely participant onboarding with a database of >24,000 active participants and >100,000 newsletter subscribers.

Our teams dedicated to volunteer identification and social media management define subject engagement strategies and support participants throughout the process.

Our database is optimised for accurate pre-identification, and our approach helps keep client projects aligned with planned budgets.

  • Through targeted social media campaigns, we actively approach ideal participants for each study, informing them in real-time about new projects. Our team supports them throughout the selection process, answering inquiries and coordinating logistics to minimise dropouts.
  • Located within our phase 1 unit in Neu-Ulm, Germany, our teams dedicated to volunteer identification work together with our study team and external specialists to streamline screening and maximise identification and prequalification of participants from prescreening onward, informing our sponsors throughout the entire process.

Our electronic solutions

Nuvisan´s clinical pharmacology unit (CPU) in Germany is equipped with an electronic source-data capturing system (ClinSpark eSource) where data are available to Nuvisan staff, clients and CRAs, as soon as they are collected.

eSource offers simplicity and accessibility to study data through:

  • Direct data capture, remote access and CDISC certification
  • Processing all data in a seamless way, from study launch to site closure
  • Connectivity directly to the database for devices (eg ECG, Vital Signs) and Nuvisan safety laboratory (via LIMS)
  • Offering a nearly paperless source-data solution through full automation – helping eliminate transcription errors
  • Intensive tools for data visualisation and reporting
  • Different (access) roles for Nuvisan’s team, monitoring and data management
  • An audit trail for full transparency and inspection readiness.

Safety oversight and reporting solutions

Exposure is an important criterion for dose escalation and decision making. Having clinical safety, bioanalysis and immunoassay labs in the same building as our CPU helps reduce turnaround time for safety laboratory parameters, PK results of the preceding cohort (24–48 hours), and enables online evaluation of safety and PD parameters (eg pro-inflammatory cytokines or biomarkers).

Moreover, early investigation of human metabolites and differences in the metabolic profiles compared to animal species used for toxicological testing are also key to assessing safety and efficacy of your product. Proactively performing this investigation with Nuvisan’s laboratory in Grafing in phase 1 helps detect any human-specific or disproportionate metabolites early and mitigate the risk of late-stage delays due to unknown metabolite liabilities.
