At Syneos Health, all the disciplines involved in bringing new therapies to market, from clinical to commercial, work together to create customer success. Its unique Biopharmaceutical Acceleration Model delivers value across the small to mid-size to large customer continuum.

Biopharmaceutical Acceleration Model

When clinical and commercial work hand-in-hand together the walls between disciplines come down and are replaced by the sharing of critical insights and data to optimize your success. When everyone in the company begins their work with the ultimate end in mind, Biopharmaceutical acceleration is changing the game and it’s happening here.

Faster processes, deeper insights, smoother systems and more actionable Real World Evidence are just some of the benefits Syneos Health and biopharmaceutical acceleration can bring to a marketplace that grows increasingly complex and competitive each day.

The Trusted Process

The Trusted Process is a metrics-driven methodology that it originally developed to manage every aspect of your clinical studies. Its proprietary approach delivers results faster, while still guaranteeing data integrity and reducing operational risk and variability. Syneos Health is also applying the Trusted Process to Commercial Solutions to drive greater operating efficiencies and improved times to market.

Syneos Health’s Therapeutic Expertise

Syneos Health is built on its firm belief in therapeutic depth. It assembles teams in which members, from CRAs to senior management, are experts in the same therapeutic area. This team approach delivers much stronger insights into the therapeutic environment, the competitive landscape and the patient population. In other words, better answers, faster.

Clinical Surveillance Monitoring Keeps Your Trial on Track

The mission of Syneos’ CNS Clinical Surveillance Team (CST) is to ensure that extraordinary diligence is applied to subject eligibility and data quality. It understands that complex patients and efficacy scale data can only be fully understood by experienced clinicians and psychometric experts. That’s why its Clinical Scientists and Medical Directors carefully oversee important safety and efficacy assessments, in near-real time, to prevent issues from negatively impacting your trial.

Expertly Executing Your Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases Trials

Best-In-Class Immunology and Inflammation Experience

Due to the increase in immunologic and inflammatory disorders, paralleled by an increase in the development of targeted drugs, it is essential to deliver innovative products to market with maximum speed while preserving quality in a highly competitive research arena.

Eye Disease Treatment – Helping You Make the Most of Opportunities

An aging global population, combined with continued unmet needs in ocular diseases that carry the genuine quality of life implications, has created a boon of interest and opportunity in developing new eye disease treatments. Ophthalmology studies are highly specialized, requiring intimate knowledge of the patient and caregiver experience, deep relationships with quality research sites as well as technical skills for ocular imaging and a spectrum of treatment modalities.
