The OA CRO

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is a major cause of disability in the elderly population. It affects more than 500 million people world-wide and with no cure, OA constitutes a considerable unmet medical need.

NBCD is a full service CRO specialized in OA. With our expertise in clinical trial design and placebo response mitigation, we have worked with the different sponsors to successfully conduct several phase I, II and III trials within both OA pain and DMOAD compounds. NBCD has led large clinical programs to FDA approval and has become the leading CRO in the OA space.

Through the years, we have been successfully inspected by FDA, EMA and national European Agencies. As an organization, we are driven by science and conduct our own data-gap projects to gain additional insight to the relevant conditions, and elements of particular interest to trial design. NBCD has also been pioneering the field of risk-based monitoring, gaining 10+ years of experience with the method, leading to improved data quality.
