Contact Our Team 100% Dedicated to the Art and Science of CNS Drug Discovery Central nervous system (CNS) diseases – depression, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, chronic and acute pain, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, rare diseases and many others – have the ability to disrupt lives in often profound ways. These diseases can be intractable and also uniquely perplexing because our understanding of neurobiology is still incomplete and the pathology of many CNS disorders is unknown. With an approval rate for CNS therapies that is about half that for other drugs, the distinct challenges of CNS clinical research (e.g., measuring highly subjective endpoints, countering placebo effects, demonstrating clinically meaningful efficacy) need to be met with an uncommon blend of scientific depth and elegant problem-solving. We thrive on the challenges of CNS clinical development. No other area of medical research requires as much rigor and inventiveness. At Syneos Health: We marry the rigorous science that serves as the foundation for any protocol or trial with the art of practical experience, inspiration and innovation to mount the best CNS trials in the business. Then we combine that with the deep strategic thinking, operational excellence, risk management, and pragmatic solutions that only CNS-dedicated professionals make possible.
