Firm Profile
IPSUM applies the depth of our service offerings along with extensive therapeutic and analytical expertise to help our clients navigate the increasingly complex healthcare environment.

We work with biopharmaceutical companies with services and solutions that increase their probability of success, connecting insights with greater delivery for improved results.

Ipsum provides a range of services for pharmaceutical and medical device development. Our practice is broken down into three main areas.

Site Management Services
IPSUM is a leading SMO with local expertise covering patient recruitment, trial preparation, management and patient retention.

We recruit and retain more engaged patients, at fewer sites, and in less time than conventional trial sites, augmenting the quality and efficiency of our customers’ drug development pipeline. We have learned that, by engaging fully with patients, our clinical trials can be conducted more successfully and, in consequence, patient retention increases considerably. And because our clinical trial model is carefully applied throughout sites, we can offer clients consistent trials in all the country. One contract with IPSUM leads to large-scale patient recruitment with multiple sites to simplify trial management strategies.

• Feasibility Studies
• Project Planning
• Clinical Plan Development
• Site Identification and Assessment

Technology Services
Validated Software Development:
