CLINICAL & PRE-CLINICAL

Our dedicated Clinical department is responsible for carrying various phases of Clinical trials for our research molecules including medical devices to ensure the safety and efficacy of our products. For this purpose, we have a team of professionals with rich experience and in-depth knowledge to successfully conduct the clinical trials as per GCP guidelines in approved centers.

The studies are conducted at well equipped centers following study initiation visits prior to patient recruitment. Our study coordinators schedule monitoring visits during the study period and continually supervise the trial until the study report is finalized.

As a part of post marketing surveillance, Virchow collects and evaluates safety information on specialized products to safeguard the safety of patients.
