George Clinical provides a broad range of clinical research services, including global scientific leadership, for studies into the world’s most prevalent airway diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

In the Asia-Pacific, asthma and COPD are particularly relevant as risk factors such as smoking, biomass fuels, pollution, and tuberculosis (TB) are higher than in other regions. Most asthma related deaths still occur in low-to-mid income countries. COPD is currently the fourth leading cause of death, expected to become the third by 2030.

COPD patients are also severely affected by co-morbidities such as heart disease and diabetes, two of George Clinical’s key areas of expertise.
