PPD Selected as Exclusive Partner by DiabetesAmerica

PPD has entered into an exclusive alliance with DiabetesAmerica, a provider of comprehensive diabetes care services based in Houston, Texas. Under the agreement, the former will provide clinical research training and support to more than 20 clinical trial investigators who will conduct type 1 and type 2 diabetes clinical trials from the latter’s 17 centers across Texas and Arizona.

In return, the latter will work exclusively with the former to provide clinical research services for endocrine and metabolic disease development programs over a minimum of three years. The agreement expands PPD's ability to recruit for diabetes-related clinical trials through the use of DiabetesAmerica's 16,000-plus patient database.
