Our goal is to facilitate collaboration among sites and site networks, cultivate long-term partnerships, enhance efficiency in trial operations, and improve overall site performance. Close cooperation and coordination between site staff and Cybin will ensure quality standards, mitigate potential risks, and enhance efficiency through economies of scale. We see this as a model to support all current and future trials within the Cybin pipeline, and welcome Segal Trials as our first program member,” concluded Drysdale.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Cybin on its innovative Site Partnership Program. This partnership will accelerate learning at new sites around the country, enabling more research and could ultimately expedite the approval process for CYB003,” said Bonnie Segal, President of Segal Trials.
