Therapeutic Expertise in Respiratory Illnesses
Our specialist therapeutic areas cover a wide range of respiratory illnesses and conditions. Explore more about our clinical trials management service and therapeutic areas of expertise now.
Rhinovirus (RV)
Human rhinovirus (HRV) infections account for up to 67% of all virus-induced exacerbations in patients of asthma and COPD. We conduct human challenge trials aiming to reduce symptoms associated with asthma and COPD exacerbations
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
RSV, sometimes called human orthnopneumovirus, can seriously exacerbate the symptoms of asthma and COPD. We provide human challenge trials in this area, developing new drug and treatment options to alleviate patient symptoms.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
COPD, a group of inflammatory lung conditions that can obstruct airflow and cause breathing difficulties. VirTus facilitates clinical drug trials which aim to lessen the severity of COPD-related symptoms.
Asthma
Asthma, an inflammation of the airways, is a common condition that can lead to challenges with breathing. Our clinical trials management services help to develop new healthcare options for patients with asthma and assist in the reduction of symptoms.

Clinical Data Management
Clinical trials management services provided by VirTus include professional-level clinical data management in just one contract.
We work alongside Data Magik to deliver a full clinical data management and statistics service for clinical research. Data Magik has a bespoke software development and an electronic data capture (EDC)/interactive web response system (IWRS) platform, called Kapture. This is engineered to work from all devices and is proprietary, meaning it can be crafted to your individual needs.
VirTus is also partnered with Ignite Data, which works with a nationwide network of GP practices to identify protocol-ready patients. Each patient is provided with an ethically approved study pack to inform decisions over participation. This is combined with call screening, so only potentially eligible patients are referred to the clinical research team.
Preclinical Study Management
World-leading pharmacology, bioanalysis and controlled trials are all part of VirTus’ preclinical trials services. Our team of respiratory research experts facilitate and conduct accelerated in vivo and in vitro bioanalytical solutions.
As ‘an academic brain with a CRO’s body,’ we blend our high-quality academic research with commercial expertise and professional management. This means we’re able to accelerate the development of ground-breaking NMEs (new medical entities), and bring new levels of efficiency to your preclinical research.
