Auckland Clinical Studies ACS provides state-of-the-art world class research facilities and the expertise to perform Phase I and II studies for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. ACS is an early-phase clinical pharmacology unit established in 2006. Located directly adjacent to Auckland City Hospital, ACS has established an extremely close relationship with the specialist doctors based at that institution, other Auckland hospitals and private specialists. ACS has developed an enviable reputation in patient studies, particularly in areas of hepatology, oncology and dermatology. ACS has also conducted many trials in healthy volunteers ranging from entry-in-human single ascending dose studies to bioavailability/food effect assessments. We have experience conducting studies that start in healthy volunteers and move into patients under one protocol. ACS works in close cooperation with CCST, its Christchurch based sister company that has developed a reputation for excellence in Phase I and II research since 1999. ACS and CCST have a joint venture in New Zealand Clinical Research (NZCR) that is able to offer full or tailored CRO services
