Sydney, Australia-based contract research organization Novotech has signed a A$4.0 million ($3.1 million) contract with UK biotechnology firm SkyePharma to carry out a pediatrics-related clinical trial in the USA and Australia.
The research will involve 200 patients in 25 hospitals, 20 of them in the USA, being monitored by 12 Novotech scientists for two years. Alek Safarian, the firm's chief executive, noted that this is the first time an Australian CRO has undertaken the US trials required by the Food and Drug Administration, as opposed to a local US CRO.
