GE Healthcare (Chalfont St. Giles, UK) is opening its first Integrated Development Center (IDC) at Manipal Hospital (Bangalore, India), as part of the strategic development of its Global Clinical Studies Program.
The IDC in Bangalore is expected to conduct approximately 1,000 medical imaging scans yearly as part of the planned clinical trials and will be part of a series of global multi-country clinical studies in the United States, the European Union, and several other countries. Over time, GE Healthcare will create more IDCs in major strategic locations globally.
Data obtained from this site will be combined with information from other centers worldwide and contribute towards the development of new contrast and molecular imaging agents or new indications for existing agents. The first studies will focus on Visipaque (iodixanol), an isosmolar contrast agent that was launched globally by GE Healthcare in 1996.
Under the terms of the collaboration, physicians at Manipal Hospital will act as study investigators and provide clinical and imaging services and administration in the hospital. The IDC in Bangalore will play a critical role in GE Healthcare's ongoing global clinical research program and support its vision of "early health” by helping to bring new diagnostic imaging agents to market and working to address serious unmet medical needs in oncology, neurology, and cardiology.
V. Raja, president, GE Healthcare India, commented, "We are extremely pleased to collaborate with Manipal Hospital which is one of India's most respected institutions. GE Healthcare and Manipal Hospital are both driven by a desire to change the future of healthcare by helping patients experience "early health,” which focuses on early diagnosis rather than late disease. Together, we will be able to create one of the most advanced Integrated Development Centers in the world. We will also be tapping into the resources of the GE Global Research Center here in Bangalore, as well the expertise of our global Medical Diagnostics team.”
Manipal Health Systems has three tertiary care hospital located at the hubs, nine secondary care hospitals, 19 primary healthcare Centers, seven rural welfare centers, complimentary clinics at Bangalore International Airport and Mangalore domestic airport, and over 55 community development projects.
