This unique experience, combined with scientific expertise and the world’s largest database of previous studies, provides our clients with un-paralleled confidence in the design and conduct of the most efficient EEC study -- both single center and now with Inflamax’s mEEC™s, the capability to conduct multi-center and multi-national EEC studies worldwide.”
The mEEC™ is a state of the art facility designed to expose patients to controlled levels of airborne allergen, similar to those experienced in their daily lives, while reducing the variability of results, and increasing patient compliance compared to typical field trials. The mEECTM was created to meet the regulatory need for geographic diversity across large multi-centre clinical trials that are suitable and required for late phase clinical research.
“We are very pleased to have a collaboration with Inflamax Research who has tremendous amount of experience and strong track record with successful Environmental Exposure Chamber studies, which we can now provide to our clients all in one high quality service package. The Environmental Exposure Chamber approach provides significant benefit to allergy trials, providing high quality clinical efficacy data outcomes and the ability to perform the trial at any time in the year, even off-season. We are proud to say that we can now offer our customers the mEEC™ study option in Japan.” says Mr. Matsushima, General Manager of Marketing Division InCROM.
