New Zealand Clinical Research

NZCR is New Zealand’s leading clinical trials and medical research organisation.

With a focus on groundbreaking research and a commitment to participant safety, we have established ourselves as a trusted partner in the development of new medicines and medical treatments.

We are the leading early-phase clinical research provider in NZ. Following continued growth, we have acquired Optimal Clinical Trials to add considerable later-phase expertise to the NZCR Group.

As a physician-led organisation, we bring together over 35 years of research excellence and a track record of completing over 800 trials involving over 17,000 participants. We work closely with our sister company Optimal Clinical Trials to offer research across the entire lifecycle of a clinical trial.

With dosing units located in Auckland and Christchurch, plus two recruitment and outpatient sites located in Hamilton and Wellington we partner with global pharmaceutical, contract research organisations, and biotechnology companies to conduct complex clinical research in healthy participant and patient populations.
