ABOUT CHDR

The Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) is an independent, full-service contract research organisation (CRO) that specialises in cutting-edge, early phase clinical drug research in both healthy volunteers and small patient cohorts, across a wide range of therapeutic areas. CHDR develops and uses state-of-the-art methods and research tools to collect as much information as possible about candidate drugs in the early phases of clinical development, helping sponsors make informed decisions regarding the further development of their product. The company serves as a ‘one-stop-shop’, offering end-to-end CRO solutions for early phase programs. In addition, CHDR operates a purpose-built, state-of-the-art phase 1 unit with 54 beds, as well as a hospital-based unit consisting of 8 beds.

CHDR SOLUTIONS

  • Learn about a sophisticated suite of pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacometric services designed to accelerate and optimize early-phase drug development.

  • This essential guide walks through mastering the complex landscape of clinical trial regulations, providing a clear, practical breakdown of regulatory timelines, legal obligations, and more.

  • Explore a dynamic recruitment strategy being used to address the growing demand for participants in early-stage clinical trials while overcoming regulatory and ethical challenges.

  • Our dermatology studies provide results that are more than skin deep. Because the skin is the largest and most easily accessible organ, our dermatology research also facilitates drug development in other areas, including immunology and endocrinology. In addition, we are engaged in studying ways to improve wound healing.

  • NeuroCart is a fully self-contained, mobile CNS test battery developed in-house at CHDR, offering the possibility to measure a wide range of CNS effects in a pharmacological context.

  • With nearly three decades of successful application, NeuroCart remains a gold standard in CNS pharmacology, supporting precise, data-driven decisions in drug development.

  • Trial@home, CHDR’s dedicated strategy for off-site clinical trials, enables investigators to collect information as trial participants go about their day to day activities.
