Together, we can respond fast

Excelya helps minimize your time to market, so you can reach as many people as possible with your intervention.

Get your infectious disease intervention to market and save lives

The COVID-19 pandemic showed the world how important rapid scientific response is in halting infectious disease outbreaks.

Infectious diseases, caused by microorganisms like viruses, bacteria and fungi, remain major causes of death globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS were among the 20 leading causes of death in 2019.

Whether an epidemic is ongoing or emerging, we understand that rapid response makes a difference. At Excelya, we have the experience and expertise to make sure your clinical trial runs smoothly so you can progress to market without delay.

Viral, bacterial and fungal expertise

Whether your clinical trial relates to a viral, bacterial or fungal infectious disease, we have the expertise to support you. Excelya has a network of sites and investigators, including key opinion leaders (KOLs) and Therapeutic Advisors in each field.

With experience of over 40 infectious disease and vaccine studies, including pediatric and rare disease, we have worked on viral, bacterial and fungal infectious disease clinical trials ranging from early phase to post-market studies.

Viral infectious diseases

Our most recent viral pandemic has changed the way we live, and it had a significant impact on clinical trials. Over the three-year course of the pandemic, there were more than 676 million cases of COVID-19, resulting in more than 6.8 million deaths. The global research response prevented millions more deaths by developing treatments and vaccines, with over 13 billion vaccine doses delivered around the world.

Excelya was proud to support this effort: we took part in 16 studies related to COVID-19. This enhanced our viral infectious disease experience, which covers HIV, influenza, hepatitis C and D, rhinovirus and more. With extensive hands-on expertise in infectious disease drug and treatment development, Excelya has a unique advantage in this area.

 

Bacterial infectious diseases

As a treatment for bacterial infectious diseases, antibiotics have extended the average human lifespan by 23 years. However, the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global challenge that requires solutions – including new antibiotic candidates. Excelya’s experts have worked on 18 bacterial and fungal clinical trials, giving us broad experience we can apply in every phase.

 

Vaccine development

Vaccines are key solutions to many infectious diseases, and clinical trials can vary greatly depending on the trial type, study design, and type of vaccine being tested. Our experts have experience with a broad range of vaccine trials, including prophylactic and adjuvant, helping you navigate the nuances.
