Discovering new and novel ways of treating and preventing life threatening illnesses is an essential part of modern medicine.
At Aptuit our strategy is to engineer a better drug development process and through that dedication we have now added this critical drug discovery expertise to our already robust suite of services.
It is well understood that late stage attrition in the clinic is high for novel compounds, leading to inefficiencies in the successful development of new medicines. Generally only one third of clinical candidates make it as fully approved medicines. Our facility in Verona, Italy, houses industry renowned experienced scientists, state of the art equipment and scientific tools which are purpose built to increase early characterization and optimization of drug substance and/or product.
Our unique and wholly integrated approach to drug discovery has allowed us to produce high quality candidates and reduce clinical attrition, successfully demonstrating a significant increase in approvals.
This expertise and experience is now available to all Aptuit’s clients which represents a major advance in contract research services that will enhance the success rate of our client’s compounds becoming new approved drugs.
