Each of the CenExel research units has outstanding records of assisting pharmaceutical sponsors with protocol development, study design, and conducting Phase I-IV trials to develop new therapeutics for improved patient care.

CenExel AMRI will take advantage of the site network’s fully integrated, collaborative processes, which include centralized budgeting, business development, contracting, SOPs, and quality management, among others.

“CenExel AMRI offers a comprehensive suite of memory loss patient resources and exceptional study enrollment and retention rates. The addition of CenExel AMRI provides a best-in-class Alzheimer’s Disease clinical trials platform, further deepening CenExel’s strength within the CNS therapeutic area,” said Tom Wardle, CenExel CEO. “The responsiveness to pharmaceutical sponsors, patients, and patients’ caretakers alike has allowed them to excel as the preferred Center for Alzheimer’s and Memory Loss research.”

“CenExel AMRI will continue to be a pioneer in the Alzheimer’s space, providing solutions for families and their loved ones,” said Dr. Sharma, Founder and Principal Investigator at CenExel AMRI. “We look forward to this exciting new period of collaboration and growth, enabling us to offer greater peace of mind to more patients.”
