Expertise

At NBCD, expertise isn’t just an add-on. It’s our foundation.

NBCD

Focused expertise. Real partnership.

 “Musculoskeletal research requires more than a standard CRO approach. At NBCD, we specialize in osteoarthritis and related conditions, using proprietary imaging, optimized trial designs, and decades of expertise to generate reliable, publication-ready data. Our focus means we anticipate challenges before they arise and keep trials running smoothly.”

NBCD

Real World Impact

NBCD has acquired more than 20 years’ extensive experience with clinical trials in musculoskeletal and related disorders. The foundation for NBCD was laid back in 1989 by one of the pioneering forces in Danish biotech; Dr. Claus Christiansen.

Through the years, we have gained extensive experience with clinical trials in musculoskeletal indications, and today, we are recognized as a leader in the field – both scientifically and operationally.

By focusing solely on musculoskeletal disorders, we seek to provide our sponsors with expert knowledge in a complex field that generalist CROs cannot match.

Clinical Research & Trial Capabilities

Musculoskeletal indications require specialized clinical trial designs to address complex joint, muscle and bone remodelling and degeneration, pain management, and variability in patient outcomes. At Sanos and NBCD, we bring decades of expertise in musculoskeletal clinical research, ensuring high-quality trial execution and regulatory success across phases.

Expertise in Musculoskeletal Disorders

We focus on osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other joint and bone disorders, with a deep understanding of disease mechanisms that informs every stage of trial design and execution. We are also bridging musculoskeletal clinical research with obesity and metabolic diseases – integrating expertise from both areas to ensure the development of treatments that address the unique challenges of these disorders.

Tailored Study Design & Regulatory Strategy

We provide comprehensive services in protocol development, endpoint selection, and regulatory submissions (FDA, EMA, global compliance), ensuring efficient trial execution and alignment with the highest scientific and regulatory standards.

Patient Recruitment & Site Network

With access to an extensive global network of clinical research sites and KOLs in musculoskeletal diseases, we enable rapid enrollment, retention, and high-quality data collection tailored to the needs of each trial.

Advanced Imaging & Biomarker Integration

In our clinical trials, NBCD leverages imaging techniques (X-ray, MRI), biomarkers, and advanced analytics to enhance recruitment, ensure trial precision, and selection of the right study population for the given treatment, providing more accurate insights into treatment effects.

Seamless Trial Execution

From early-phase trials to large-scale studies, we ensure efficient project oversight, site management, data analysis, and pharmacovigilance, all aimed at driving successful regulatory submissions and patient-centered outcomes.
