who are we : global operations : western europe

I need a company that operates successfully out of Western Europe

The recent European Clinical Trials Directive, which took effect on May 1, 2004, radically changed the regulatory demands placed on biopharmaceutical companies planning to conduct clinical trials in most parts of Europe. The purpose of the Directive is to establish clear, transparent procedures to simplify and harmonize the administrative processes that govern clinical trials. It means that a Qualified Person in a licensed manufacturing facility is required to release clinical trials materials.

At Kendle, we’ve made sure our operations are fully prepared to meet the demands of the EU Directive. We’ll work closely with you to ensure all regulatory documentation is in place for Qualified Person release. We’ve also created the role of Clinical Regulatory Specialist, who is responsible for ensuring we’re complying with all the demands of the Directive.

We’re structured to deliver your clinical trial with excellence and provide upfront strategy (for example, multiple country study feasibility) to ensure the success of your project. This extends to prompt study start-up via quality site identification and qualified patient enrollment. In other words, we identify the right sites and patients for your study to ensure its success.

Case study: Meeting expectations in Western Europe

Kendle's Late Phase team collaborated with a large pharmaceutical company on a health outcomes study investigating the costs of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and the influencing factors for hospitalization. Sites included Germany and France, as well as the United States and Japan. To identify the costs, we undertook interviews with 57 hospital sites to gather information on more than 2,100 patients on the course of the disease and treatment during hospitalization. To meet tight timelines and achieve good data quality, we developed an electronic case report form. This meant data could be entered during interviews, providing automated quality checks and timely completion and allowed for global standardization despite country-specific variations.
