Open Orphan PLC - London-based pharmaceutical services clinical research organisation - Opens new quarantine clinic in Whitechapel, east London to act as an extension of its contract research organisation hVIVO's existing site at Queen Mary BioEnterprise Innovation Centre. Says the new clinic, which is a converted 26-bedroom former boutique hotel located across the road from its Queen Mary BioEnterprise clinic, has the capacity for up to 19 quarantine rooms. It will be used as an additional unit for human challenge trials and volunteer recruitment screening. The quarantine rooms are located across three floors of the former hotel, including a nurses station on each floor.
"Our newest quarantine unit greatly increases our capacity to facilitate hVIVO's pipeline of upcoming studies. Our Queen Mary BioEnterprise clinic is now close to full capacity until December 2021, and as such, the newly renovated, state of the art Whitechapel Clinic will allow us to increase our study capacity substantially in the year ahead. We have leased the entire former Whitechapel Hotel and managed to convert the space on a very cost efficient basis which is now almost fully booked to capacity for the first half of 2021," says Executive Chair Cathal Friel.
