PRA Adds Large Molecule Capabilities to US Laboratory

PRA, a leading clinical research organization, today announced that in addition to offering full-service bioanalytical capabilities in its Assen, The Netherlands, laboratory, it will add immunochemistry services in its Lenexa, Kan., laboratory. PRA is now the only company in the world with full-service bioanalytical capabilities near its clinics to support rapid results from Phase I clinical studies in both the U.S. and Europe, facilitating complex and adaptive study design.

“By expanding our services to large molecule bioanalysis, we can now support all types of clinical trials,” said Chad Briscoe, Ph.D, PRA executive director, Science & Innovations, Bioanalytical Laboratories. “It is an important addition to our services because the contribution of large molecules in drug research and the development of biosimilars have increased rapidly over the past few years.”
