Patheon gives you access to a broad range of technologies for in-process and release testing, as well as stability studies, for drug substances, developmental formulations and clinical trial materials in support of IND, IMPD and other early-phase clinical studies. With the experience of hundreds of projects, we have the expertise to get your project to Phase I studies and beyond as quickly as possible.
Patheon is fully integrated like no other organization. The scientists performing your studies will be in direct communication with the scientists working on your project's development and clinical trial material manufacturing. By being able to share data, and easily coordinate planning and scheduling, our team can deliver maximum efficiency and on-time performance.
