Our Phase I clinical trials unit is located within the grounds of a world-renowned hospital in the largest city in Scotland. The site’s central location means that we attract patients and healthy volunteers from across the country.
Our dedicated Phase I clinical trial site is designed with participant safety and trial efficiency as priorities. We have created a comprehensive, self-contained facility with everything required for a seamless and safe trial experience: two ward areas for overnight stays with a volunteer kitchen and recreational space; round-the-clock coverage by the hospital’s medical emergency team. Our onsite, MHRA-licensed GMP manufacturing suite that enables us to produce, release and dose IMPs under one roof; and an onsite pharmacy and gamma-camera imaging suite.
We deliver the full spectrum of early-phase clinical trials, including First-in-Human; single- and multiple-ascending dose (SAD/MAD); bioequivalence and bioavailability; food-effect; adaptive; pharmacokinetic; and drug–drug interaction studies. Our experienced team of physicians, nurses, clinical trial associates and pharmacy staff ensures the safe and efficient running of your study. All site conduct staff are trained to a minimum of Immediate Life Support (ILS).
At BDD we understand that one of the key challenges for any clinical trial is the recruitment of eligible participants. As the only commercial Phase I unit in Scotland, we have a clear recruitment advantage over other units in the UK with fewer competing studies and a large population of research naive patients.
This was my third time to work with BDD as a volunteer subject for a clinical trial. BDD is lucky to have a great team of staff who always look after me every step of the way during the trial period. They go out of their way to keep in touch and make sure that I am as comfortable and well as possible during the study. Spending the day at the centre can be long, but the staff are always engaging and willing to talk, they make the trial feel like a team effort.
