Atherion Bioresearch Expands to Offer Dosimetry Services
with Voximetry As Preferred Provider

DUBLIN, OH — Atherion Bioresearch, a full-service Clinical Research Organization (CRO) company, has selected Voximetry to expand the capabilities they provide to include advanced dosimetry.

  

Atherion offers a wide array of drug development services and is differentiated by its high level of engagement, industry experience, and expanding support services.  Atherion’s experienced team knows there are challenges to outsourcing to CROs and strives to fill the role of trusted partner in the therapeutic pipeline.

​

Voximetry is a commercial stage medical software and services company with proprietary advanced dosimetry technology and an experienced team dedicated to supporting the clinical use and development of personalized Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) treatments.   Patient-specific dosimetry can help improve trial design, save time, and reduce the cost of achieving clinical endpoints.  

​

According to Voximetry CEO, Dr. Sue Wallace, “We are pleased to be selected by Atherion as a trusted partner.    We’re confident in our ability to help with pre-study design and accurate dose assessments, but none of that matters without the innovation of the drug development community.   Atherion’s intimate knowledge of the needs and common pitfalls of the drug development process will help us hone our services to earn and maintain a favored-partner status.”

​

There are currently over 200 active RPT clinical trials, but personalized dosimetry requires a high level of medical physics expertise that is not readily available.   In this competitive environment, services like that offered by Voximetry can make a difference in the success of a drug development program.

​

“We selected Voximetry because they have the most accurate dose assessment technology available but have been surprised and delighted by the depth of expertise on their team.  They provide timely, comprehensive, and thoughtful consulting support.  They make it a priority to assure the data are collected, analyzed, and presented in a way we can trust to guide development decisions,” stated Dr. Mike Rosol, Atherion CEO.   “Being able to include Voximetry expertise in the list of comprehensive services we already offer differentiates us to our sponsors. Together, we offer a more innovative, effective, and efficient practice to drug development.”
