Quality

The Akesis Quality Management System has been built with a "quality by design" mindset. Our clinical and regulatory experts strive to intrinsically understand what we are studying from the safety of patients to the primary and secondary endpoints. It is through this knowledge that we can anayze the positive and negative risks associated with the study and plan accordingly. The risk plan is not static and reviewed on a regular interval within Akesis and with the sponsor.
