Ophthalmology Clinical trials

PharmaNet’s ophthalmology team comprises ophthalmic experienced clinicians and other team members providing expertise in all key areas, including the objective evaluation of examinations and procedures to assess signs and symptoms associated with ophthalmology studies. Areas of evaluation include visual acuity, intraocular pressure, automated perimetry, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, and other eye care tests. Our ophthalmology professionals are also well-versed in the requirements of ophthalmic product development programs and provide current knowledge of competitive compounds, therapeutic practices, protocols, and case report forms.

In addition to evaluating data submitted by study staff, the team offers expertise in managing independent vendors that provide certification, such as certifying visual acuity examiners. They can also act as reading centers to certify fundus photographers, fluorescein angiographers, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) technicians.

PharmaNet’s ophthalmology team has strong relationships with more than 500 investigator sites and a large pool of appropriate study participants in addition to experience on hundreds of ophthalmology studies involving ethical pharmaceuticals, devices, and over-the-counter products.
