Background

Our fully-equipped specialized phase 1 infrastructure (4 beds) with close access to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Center for Child and Adolescent Medicine (CCAM) guarantees a high level of patient safety and adequate patient care in both outpatient and inpatient trial settings. This includes conduct of extensive 24-hour pharmacokinetic studies as well as appropriate biological sample management.
