Clinical Research South Africa

Since Criterium’s South Africa office opened, it has been a major component of and contributor to our global clinical services. It has provided clinical data for such therapeutic areas as Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, Dermatology, Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Infectious Disease (herpes, pneumonia), GI, Pediatrics, Oncology, Cardiovascular and Pulmonary studies.

Criterium South Africa was established in 2003 as Criterium’s first branch office outside the United States. This was a major step in enabling Criterium to augment the real-time technology used in its clinical trials with 24 hour study coverage.

This strategic office has increased the value to Criterium clients by enabling them to take advantage of South Africa's unique assets in the global arena of clinical research. South African study data has long been a component of research which has been granted FDA approvals:

• Its location in the Southern Hemisphere allows many clinical trials to be completed year-round
• Large patient recruitment populations in many therapeutic areas, due to its unique mix of economies
• Strict regulatory standards for the conduct of clinical trials, aided by an extremely well established mix of highly trained investigators
