Phase I
 Responsive Service
Our modern Phase I facility in Omaha, NE is equipped to implement rapid project initiation. Qualia has the resources to accommodate studies ranging from bioavailability/bioequivalence to those requiring IV dosing and intensive monitoring.

Qualia has expertise in multiple study areas, including first-in-human and proof-of-concept, single and multiple rising dose tolerance, drug-drug interaction, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic, cardiac safety, food effect, specialized gastroenterology, CNS/psychopharmacology, and PK in special populations.

We cultivate relationships within the medical community allowing Qualia to target patient populations with speed and confidence. Our Physician Network allows access to many populations that cannot be obtained in other regions. Innovation is the key to effective participant recruitment, and Qualia utilizes progressive recruitment techniques in order to reach targets effectively.


 Phase I Patient Database Growth
The Omaha Phase I facility is experiencing explosive growth in database size due to innovative recruiting techniques. In the first ten months of 2007, the database grew nearly 30% each month. Qualia will continue actively recruiting in order to maintain a large and active database of participants with different demographics and health profiles.
