Making Hearing A Priority

CILcare not only enabled us to access high quality specialised auditory pharmacokinetic and efficacy studies with high technical excellence whilst maintaining excellent care and attention to detail and animal welfare, but we also found their scientists not only insightful but also highly collaborative. The CILcare team were flexible and open to changes in protocol as the data from our studies developed and responded positively to time critical activities in highly professional manner. Without access to the studies undertaken at CILcare we would not discovered the novel scientific findings or the opportunity presented by the data from the studies undertaken.

CILcare is definitely more than a simple CRO! Following our work experience in PK/PD studies, CILcare now resonates as a trusted partner, fully committed to the success of their Sponsor’s assets. CILcare’s scientific expertise in the auditory system and neurosciences is no longer in doubt. The robustness of CILcare’s animal models, which highly mimic human ear disorders, gives us the confidence for translational success in clinical phases. It is always a pleasure to work with all the team members, they are very proactive, responsive, and dedicated to their customers.

Cilcare played an indispensable role in achieving our goals for our preclinical R&D program. The gifted team members had good communications with us and have proven their highly-valued capability in the execution of ambitious studies by resolving various unexpected challenges. Their expertise and unique technical know-how in otology research enabled us to acquire valuable data to proceed with our program. I would like to thank the entire team for their warm hospitality and the in-depth introduction of their facilities in Montpellier. Cilcare is for us a great partner, which I would recommend to any life science players aiming to create new and reliable drugs to treat ear disorders.

Autifony has a strong interest in the discovery of new pharmaceutical treatments for hearing disorders, and has unique experience in the preclinical and clinical development of novel treatments for these indications. We recognise Cilcare’s experience in the design and execution of preclinical studies in models of hearing loss. I personally had a great experience working with Aurore; she was very professional and friendly, and she was always available, which helped us to keep within timelines. I was impressed with the overall excellence of the whole team, and would strongly recommend them as a partner.

We relied on the expertise of Cilcare for some of our studies on the neural basis of cochlear implant use (Glennon et al. Nature 2023). The services Cilcare provided enabled us to confirm that our procedures were accurate and appropriate, and the cochleogram data and analysis from Cilcare were of the highest quality. I’m grateful for the diligence and timely services they provided and will definitely work with Cilcare again.
