Support of independent clinical research

The key requirements that will need to be to be fulfilled in order for Lundbeck to evaluate and consider supporting an IIT include:

• Investigator qualifications – all of the following must be met:
  • Current valid license to practice medicine*
  • Recent clinical research experience within the previous 3 years*
  • Good clinical practice training within the previous 3 years*
  • The Investigator’s curriculum vitae would be obtained to ensure that the Investigator is suitably qualified and able to conduct the required evaluation and analysis
• Study Criteria – the proposed study/trial should be:
  • For a legitimate research purpose-scientific merit, which compliments Lundbeck research
  • To better understand the risk/benefit profile of the compound
  • Address unmet medical need
  • Align with Lundbeck’s compound scientific/development strategy 
• Resources – the Investigator must have the right infrastructure in place and capability to conduct the study/trial proposed

^{*Only applicable for Interventional studies/trials}

We maintain a Global IIT submission portal that supports investigators through their research projects.

• Allows investigators to submit research proposals
• Provides a web-enabled database
• Tracks project progress
• Enables open communication between investigators and the Lundbeck IIT team at each step, including:
  • study submission, review, and approval/rejection
  • study progress (milestone based) 
  • study completion 
  • publication

Researchers are invited to submit their brief proposal via the IIT submission portal. The brief proposal will be reviewed collectively by the Lundbeck Review Committee based on scientific merit and alignment with corporate research and development plans.

The researcher will be informed about the outcome and should Lundbeck be interested in the brief proposal submission, the investigator will be contacted and invited to submit further details and a full protocol on the IIT in order to be considered for full approval.

Lundbeck requires that the following documents are in place before the support can be initiated:

• a fully executed IIT agreement between the sponsor and Lundbeck
• an EC/IRB and/or health authority approval

All funding requests will be assessed to ensure that they do not exceed local fair market value. Funding requests for expenses not associated with the conduct of the study are strictly prohibited.
