Advancing Medicine Through Clinical Trials
About Us
We Have an Experienced and Highly Qualified Team Behind Us
Novatrials (formerly known as Pendlebury Research) is a Newcastle based private clinical trial site centrally located in Kotara, NSW. We offer our participants a welcoming and comfortable facility within modern health- focussed premises.
Established in 2013 as Pendlebury Research, our name was changed to Novatrials in 2019 to reflect our focus on new (Nova) treatments and being a part of the Novocastrian community. We conduct clinical trials across a range of conditions for people who find their condition is not well controlled by currently available treatments.
Clinical Trial Experience
Novatrials has been engaged by major pharmaceutical, biotech and Clinical Research Organisations to conduct Phase I – IV trials. We have experience in conducting trials in Cardiology (including Heart Failure and Hypercholesterolaemia); Type 2 Diabetes; Obesity; Dermatology;
Pain Management; Osteoarthritis; Vaccines; and in a range of general medical conditions including Communicable Diseases; painful wounds/ulcers and osteoporosis.
