[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] C&R Research announced on the 28th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Seoul National University Hospital for conducting multinational clinical trials through mutual cooperation between the two companies.

This MOU was established to enhance the expertise and quality of multinational clinical trials through an agreement between C&R Research, the nation's top clinical research organization (CRO) specialized company, and a leading university hospital in Korea. Through this, both parties will cooperate in all aspects of clinical trial execution, including strategy development, conduct, and marketing for domestic and multinational clinical trials. In particular, Seoul National University Hospital will be able to actively utilize its abundant clinical trial infrastructure accumulated since being designated as a Regional Clinical Trial Center by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2004.

Additionally, this agreement includes cooperation on reviewing the introduction of a system independently developed by C&R Research for the application of the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC), as well as mutual exchange of technical information and technical education between the two institutions. CDISC is an international standard method for clinical trial planning, data collection and exchange, submission, and analysis. By utilizing this, they plan to improve the efficiency and reliability of clinical data output. Besides this, the agreement was signed with the goal of utilizing facilities for clinical trial execution and fostering multifaceted cooperation.

A representative of C&R Research stated, “Recently, the demand for clinical trials from domestic new drug development companies has surged, especially for multinational clinical trials, and to respond to this high demand, we have signed an agreement with Seoul National University Hospital, which has excellent clinical trial infrastructure.” He added, “The outstanding medical staff and clinical infrastructure of Seoul National University Hospital will be combined with C&R Research’s clinical execution know-how and IT technology to provide clinical services that improve time and cost efficiency.”
