Investigational Medicinals Products

Due to the increasing trend towards the outsourcing of NHS services, The Specials Laboratory has recently launched a service to manufacture IMPs, so it can meet the supply needs of hospital-based clinical trials.

Our award-winning company has three MHRA-approved facilities in Northumberland and is licensed to offer an IMP service including the non-sterile cGMP manufacture of medicines for use in small clinical studies. This service supports clinical trial pharmacists and technicians, University medical schools and research doctors carrying out such trials and requiring an outsourced manufacturing partner.

“Thanks for your continued support on our trial. The Specials Lab has consistently and professionally supplied us with study materials, even accommodating short notice request during postal strikes. Service has always been prompt and friendly and we will certainly consider using your service for future studies.”
