Fresenius Medical Care expands clinical research activities
Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s largest provider of dialysis products and services, is expanding its clinical research activities. Frenova Renal Research (Frenova), previously a Fresenius Medical Care North America subsidiary, will now offer its services worldwide and will be integrated into the new Global Medical Office headed by Dr. Frank Maddux, Chief Medical Officer.
Frenova offers services for the clinical development of medicines and medical products in the field of kidney research. This offering, previously limited to North America, will now be linked with the corresponding services of Fresenius Medical Care’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Latin America regions and bundled under Frenova. This will enable the company to draw on a network of more than 550 researchers at over 350 locations.
“Frenova is active at the intersection of clinical research and patient care,” said Dr. Maddux. “No other provider of clinical development services understands the medical needs of people living with kidney disease as well as we do. By making this expertise available worldwide, we will enable a faster, more efficient development of medications and other products. This is an additional, important building block for improving their quality of life.”
