Cincinnati, Ohio (PRWEB) January 10, 2012
It takes 15 years on average to move a new drug or medical device through clinical trials to FDA application, but a Cincinnati medical writing company created efficiencies that allowed a Boston pharma company to move through the process in just nine years.
Medical Communication Consultants of Cincinnati, Ohio, helped Ironwood Pharmaceuticals of Cambridge, Mass., create the clinical documents that allowed it to move through the new drug pipeline very quickly– allowing the pharma company to benefit from six extra years of patent protection.
More important than profits, however, is that its irritable bowel medication linaclotide could get to patients six years sooner than the industry average.
