Premier Research announced that it has acquired Health Decisions, a Durham, N.C.-based contract research organization (CRO) focused on clinical development in all areas of women’s health and diagnostics. Premier Research is a leading provider of clinical research and development services, as well as strategic and regulatory advisory services to the biotechnology, specialty pharma, and medical device industries.
“This is a pivotal moment in women’s health as unmet needs continue to grow. The women’s health market is expected to reach $40B in the next five years and new technologies are on the rise. Thankfully, big data is providing new insights into prevention and treatments for breast and pelvic health. But a major factor in market growth is the rising incidence of female-specific diseases and disorders worldwide — from osteoporosis and osteoarthritis to anemia and hormonal imbalances,” said Krista Armstrong, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Clinical Development Services, Premier Research.
“Integrating Health Decisions’ expertise in women’s health and diagnostic studies is a perfect complement to our CRO and consulting services for biotech and device sponsors, particularly in oncology, analgesia, and neuroscience. We can help customers seize this unprecedented moment in the women’s health market with our broad and differentiated services — from expert regulatory strategy to global clinical trial management, to the transparency and ease of the PremierOne Ecosystem that aggregates and coordinates administrative, financial, and patient data,” Armstrong added.
