EVI.CT.SE - European Vision Institute. Clinical Trials. Sites of Excellence

AIBILI is the Coordinating Centre of EVI.CT.SE - a network of European Ophthalmology Clinical Research Sites, dedicated to perform clinical research in ophthalmology with the highest standards of quality.

This Network performs clinical trials efficiently and professionally, striving for excellence in clinical research following the European and International Directives for clinical trial research (Declaration of Helsinki, ICH GCP Guidelines, Clinical Directive EU and local legislations). This is accomplished by the certification of the Clinical Sites that fulfil Basic Requirements and have adopted common Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) - EVI.CT.SE organizational SOPs in order to perform clinical trials according to ICH GCP Guidelines. All Clinical Sites are subject to an independent Evaluation Visit.

This Network is a professional and attractive resource to the Pharmaceutical Industry when planning to perform multicentric clinical trials in ophthalmology in Europe.
It is an efficient way to identify experienced qualified professional Clinical Sites with expertise and well equipped to perform Clinical Trials in Ophthalmology according to ICH GCP Guidelines.

EVI.CT.SE creates the appropriate environment for efficient and high quality clinical trial performance in Europe. At the moment the Network has 68 members (from 16 European countries).
