Reputation for Excellence in Dermal Product Advancement

QPS has considerable expertise in the field of topical and transdermal pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy testing. We provide our clients a range of specialized clinical research services for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and toxicology industries.

Our experience in dermal product advancement provides an active role in understanding and shaping global regulatory requirements. Our technical expertise in skin-related clinical studies, including dermal safety (irritation and sensitization), topical pharmacokinetics, bioavailability studies, and bioequivalence (including the vasoconstriction assay for topical corticosteroids), as well as marketing claim substantiation, has earned QPS recognition as a leading expert in the field.

QPS offers topical and transdermal clinical research services for product development, including semi-solids (lotions, gels, emollients, creams, foams, and ointments); transdermal delivery systems (patches and semi-solids); cutaneous and intradermal injections; wound dressings; and innovative delivery systems (micro-needles and iontophoresis).

Transdermal Pharmacokinetics CLINICAL EXPERTISE

More than 500 Studies Completed

Bioavailability Studies for Semi-Solids and Transdermal Delivery Systems

  • Local and systemic delivery including First in Human (FIH), Single Ascending Dose (SAD), Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD), Proof of Concept (POC), and novel delivery systems.

Bioequivalence for Semi-Solids

  • Vasoconstriction, cumulative irritation, HRIPT, and clinical-end-point studies.

Bioequivalence for Transdermal Delivery Systems

  • Pharmacokinetics, irritation, sensitization, adhesion and heat/environmental exposure studies.

Safety for Rx and OTC Products

  • Pharmacokinetics, cumulative irritation, sensitization (HRIPT), local tolerability, and chronic exposure assessments.

Efficacy to support NDA, ANDA, and 505b2 Submissions

  • First in Human (FIH) and Phase II – IV clinical end point studies.

Unique Study Designs

  • Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), drying time, person-to-person transfer, surface deposition, hand washing and shower efficiency, and tape stripping (DPK).
  • Pain: local and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), UV sunburn and capsaicin models.
  • Device delivery (e.g. microneedles, iontophoresis, etc.), heat exposure to transdermal patches, body regional variation, differentiated skin layer designs, etc.

Testimonials

Thanks, this look great. Please thank everyone for their efforts.
JIM C.
Thanks to all QPS staff who did such an excellent job on a short schedule.
STEVE U.
It was indeed a sincere pleasure working with the QPS Dermal and Transdermal Research Team. This is our first successful program and we are excited to hear that the final eCTD is uploaded to the FTP. Finally, all our hard efforts over the last 12 to 18 months are taking a good shape. It is a great pleasure working with each one of you at QPS.
