What is the TI difference? The people, experience and service behind Therapeutics make us stand out in the field of dermatology drug development. We pride ourselves on receiving repeat business and referrals from clients and strive to be the preferred partner by fostering flexible, professional relationships. We stand firm in our product development beliefs, arising from years of experience in the industry and dedication to helping our clients excel.

Is Therapeutics Incorporated a contract research organization (CRO)? Therapeutics Incorporated is not a CRO. Therapeutics is a development company. The distinction is significant. While Therapeutics does provide traditional CRO services (protocol development, trial implementation, data analysis report generation and regulatory submissions), our focus goes beyond the performance of drug trials and other details, to the bigger picture of developing commercially successful drug products. In today’s world this broader view and capability is becoming the essential difference between financial success and failure. Our unparalleled understanding of the dermatology market, the technologies, regulatory requirements and manufacturing challenges allows us to bring this critical perspective to each and every element of the program. Be it complex regulatory strategy or simple protocol design, this perspective gives our clients the most cost-effective and efficient pathway to regulatory approval and commercial success.

How does Therapeutics Incorporated differ from traditional contract research organizations? Dermatology is as much an art as it is a science requiring specific expertise. For mega-CROs, offering a broad range of services to clients in diverse therapeutic areas, dermatology is often a small part of what they do and may command minimal interest due to the focus on mega-trials. Furthermore, larger CROs often have few, if any “craftsmen” qualified in dermatology to maximize your product’s chances of clinical and regulatory success. At Therapeutics, we specialize in providing development services for dermatology products. We give your company and product the attention they deserve. Our strong background enables us to focus on the key elements and requirements that are most important in bringing your products to market. This focused approach is key to reduction in both cycle time and project expense. At Therapeutics, we help clients achieve efficiencies every day.

How does Therapeutics Incorporated compare to niche contract research organizations? Niche contract research organizations frequently bring a narrow focus to their projects, honing in on a piece of the puzzle, such as product formulation, clinical supplies production/labeling, non-clinical studies or clinical monitoring services. Therapeutics affords its clients a range of product development expertise. We seek a “best of class” development solution and encourage flexible working relationships, whether it is to facilitate just a piece of the puzzle or to design and implement the entire drug development program.

What types of programs have the Therapeutics team designed and executed? Therapeutics has a broad experience base that includes topical, systemic and injectable products in dermatology and other related fields of medicine. Our team has participated in the development of numerous topical corticosteroids and co-led efforts to define FDA guidelines for generic steroids. We have studied antifungals, anti-acne products, podofilox, anti-virals, anti-aging therapies, hair loss products, hair removal therapies, AK therapies, treatments for dyspigmentation, wound healing products, collagen and hyaluronic acid based soft tissue filler(s) and the “new” biologic immunomodulators. We have also participated in developing various laser therapies and led the program for the first laser hair removal indication.

Okay, Therapeutics Incorporated is different, but what does that really mean to me? It means Therapeutics will provide personalized solutions for your dermatology development needs. Therapeutics’ combined customer focus, dermatology-specific technical competence and masterful execution will put you at an advantage, improving your chances of success. In addition, Therapeutics’ integrity and confidentiality are unsurpassed in the industry. Last but not least, our staff has a passion for their work, clients and our business. That difference is woven into each and every project, no matter how large or small; a difference we welcome you to see for yourself.
