The new standard in clinical trial productivity.

More patients from fewer sites in less time.

AES owns a proprietary database containing fully identified patient data. And we own a global site conduct organization. Put them together and you get a unique solution for global patient delivery that offers certainty of budget, time, speed, and quality.

Synexus, Acurian, and Optimal are now AES.

With global reach, Synexus now represents our growing site conduct services. It’s the same great sites, now part of AES solutions.

Acurian now represents our core patient enrollment services, available globally. These services are built on the foundation provided by our proprietary database of fully identified patient data.

Optimal now represents the services we offer in both vaccines and oncology, using the same great sites but enhanced and extended with AES firepower.

The strong legacy of these companies is now reflected in our full suite of AES services. Combined, these services address site selection and patient enrollment-resulting in a new standard of clinical trial productivity.

Optimal Just-in-Time Enrollment

Enrollment augmentation for oncology trials

Optimal Just-in-Time (JIT) jumpstarts oncology trial enrollment and delivers the first patient faster, then continues to find patients to accelerate overall timelines. The Optimal JIT solution includes a community of 300 oncology research sites, all pre-contracted, pre-qualified, and ready for rapid activation into a trial. This solution methodology means no site is initiated or paid until it has pre-identified an eligible patient and is approved by the sponsor. On approval, it takes only two weeks to activate the site and offer the study to the patient. The result is cancer patients get the treatment they need, in the community where they live, from the physicians they trust, surrounded by the people they love.
