A clinical study can only be offered to our study patients once it’s been approved by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), as well as an independent ethics committee whose job it is to ensure the rights, dignity and well being of all study patients are not being compromised.

Last year in Synexus SA, about 500 people took part in our approved studies, with each patient known to our staff on first name terms and treated with the patience, care and compassion we are known for.

During the study you will be regularly assessed by our highly trained and dedicated doctors and nurses and your health will be monitored using the approved guidelines and details in the study protocol.
