Thank you to everyone in Christchurch who put their hand up for our coeliac diseases study. Your time and effort helped us reach a world first - with our Optimal team enrolling the first global participant. You help researchers learn faster and bring potential options closer for people who need them whilewe keep data quality and participant care front of mind at every visit. Special thanks to Vaidehi, Evangeline, Virginia, Chris, and Phoebe from our Christchurch team.

Many of you who visit our North Shore site will know Dr Claudette. She’s been with Optimal for many years and is one of our most experienced Principal Investigators.

Claudette led a previous asthma study at Optimal, working closely with families through each visit, even with the challenges of running a paediatric trial during COVID.

The study has now been published in a highly respected medical journal, showing a 45 percent reduction in asthma attacks with budesonide-formoterol reliever compared with salbutamol. It’s a result that means a lot for children living with asthma in New Zealand and overseas.

Claudette grew up with asthma herself and often talks about why this research matters to her. Seeing the impact of this study gives her hope for healthier futures for young people.

To the children and the families who took part, thank you. Your involvement made this possible.

If you’ve ever thought about joining a clinical trial with us, there’s a good chance you’ve spoken to our Participant Engagement Specialists. They guide the first part of the journey and walk through what a study involves so you know what to expect before deciding if it feels right for you. We often hear how helpful those first chats are and how much it means to have someone caring and knowledgeable answering questions. It helps you get a clear picture of what’s involved before you choose your next step.

Great work, good food and a fantastic team that brings it all together.

That’s what we had at our Town Hall recently, a chance for our Central, North, and the new Christchurch team (albeit online) to come together. Barney, our CEO, shared some of our recent wins and gave us a look at what’s coming up next. There were plenty of treats and a good reminder of how lucky we are to be part of this team.
