Case Study – How ethica CRO built a rigorous post-marketing exploratory research program that led to the FDA approval of BoNT-A for a number of neurological indications

Our team at ethica CRO conducted a series of studies within the post-marketing research program of a reputable US-based pharmaceuticals company. The clinical objective of these trials was to assess the efficacy of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) for a number of neurological conditions, including cervical dystonia, limb spasticity, chronic migraine, hyperhidrosis, temporomandibular joint disorder, and overactive bladder.

We performed a full range of clinical and data management related activities for over 30 studies, from study start-up to closeout. Importantly, we developed the study protocols alongside key opinion leaders to ensure proper study design and statistical methodology.

In order to effectively manage this program, we assembled a full-capacity clinical management team within ethica CRO, dedicated to overseeing all BoNT-A trial activities. This group consisted of a project management panel, clinical trial associates, biostatisticians, and data management personnel—all of whom demonstrated a great deal of flexibility in response to the complex technical requirements of this research program.

ethica CRO proceeded to successfully conduct the post-marketing research program for BoNT-A. This led to numerous scientific publications and presentations at major symposia, as well as the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of BoNT-A for a number of neurological indications including chronic migraine, hyperhidrosis, cervical dystonia, adult and pediatric upper and lower limb spasticity, facial movement disorders, overactive bladder, and urinary incontinence.
