Ora, Inc. Partners with the North West London Clinical Trials Alliance to Accelerate Patient Access to Cutting-Edge Ophthalmology Treatments
Ora, Inc., the world’s leading Clinical Research Organization (CRO) for ophthalmology pharmaceutical and device development, announced today its partnership with the North West London Clinical Trials Alliance (NWL Clinical Trials Alliance), a collaboration between clinical trial teams that aims to improve access to and the quality of clinical research in the region.
This strategic partnership comes at a pivotal time as the UK government emphasizes the importance of innovative partnerships and encourages increased, multi-sector collaboration. The partnership between Ora and the NWL Clinical Trials Alliance directly supports this initiative bringing together academia, industry and the NHS to provide better solutions that will address the gap in patient-access to cutting-edge treatment options.
“Ora and the NWL Clinical Trials Alliance share a common goal: improve access to, and the quality of, clinical research in Europe,” said Stuart Abelson, CEO Ora. “Ora’s well-established leadership position in ophthalmology research, coupled with the reach and relationships established by the NWL Clinical Trials Alliance, will provide our sponsors with an increased level of confidence to deliver European-based early and late-phase research studies.”
For sponsors planning or considering trial delivery in Europe, Ora and the NWL Clinical Trials Alliance will provide:
- Comprehensive analysis of country and site selection, that includes candid feedback based on open and honest communication with study sites.
- Access to a diverse group of study participants eager to receive new treatment options.
- Operational excellence delivered by a seasoned team of ophthalmology-focused resources committed to delivering trials with speed, efficiency, quality, and cost-savings.
“We are honoured to partner with a globally recognized leader in ophthalmology research,” said Dr Suki Balendra, director of NWL Clinical Trials Alliance. “Collaborating with Ora not only improves outcomes for historically underrepresented patient populations but provides an opportunity to explore new and innovative ways to increase clinical trial access for all patients. Europe is in a position to accelerate getting drugs to market faster, while simultaneously helping to build a robust and sustainable clinical research ecosystem beyond the US", she continued.
