Delivering expertise with OSOD.

Advance your ophthalmic program with a consortium of more than 40 internationally respected vision scientists. We have worked with OSOD to help emerging biotechs and large pharmaceutical companies work with vision science experts, such as board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists, electrophysiologists (for electroretinograms), veterinary and physician pathologists, clinicians and professional ocular photographers, as well as basic scientists in a wide range of ocular science areas.

Your team will receive unsurpassed vision science consulting — spanning study design, data acquisition/interpretation, clinical translation, and regulatory strategies — and benefit from state-of-the-art instrumentation for comprehensive descriptive and functional evaluation of your endpoints.

Optimizing trials and focusing on the path to commercialization.

Get expert support for trials involving the ocular surface and the anterior segment. From cataracts, glaucoma, and dry eye to allergy and inflammation, as well as contact and intraocular lens, we apply our lessons learned from supporting numerous studies across several key indications.

Rely on our retinal specialists’ experience in global studies spanning macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, vitreomacular adhesion, proliferative vitreoretinopathy and inflammation. We also offer unique expertise in ocular rare disease and ophthalmic cell and gene therapies.

Propel studies with robust patient recruitment, engagement and retention.

With a strategy tailored to each ocular disease indication, Fortrea’s holistic approach starts with established site relationships to find the strongest, high-performing sites for each study and leverage existing agreements to expedite startup. Our team of dedicated subject matter experts provides a comprehensive, data-driven site and patient engagement strategy that incorporates best practices gleaned from previous and current ophthalmology trial experience.

Once your trial is underway, you can rely on Fortrea’s ocular clinical trial management team to provide close communication and collaboration. We work to identify certified vendors that perform visual acuity assessments and central reads of ocular imaging. We also, use a highly flexible clinical platform for electronic patient-reported outcomes to provide high-quality data that enables you to stay connected to the progress of your program.

Intelligent recruitment, inspiring science and integrated delivery.

Advance your study with a contract research organization that provides clinical, scientific, regulatory and operational perspectives coupled with ophthalmic experienced teams that keep the patient at the forefront of your design decisions. From site selection to patient recruitment strategies and generation of quality data, we are here to help you reduce the the burden on patients and sites, mitigate risks and optimize your processes throughout your program.
