Give your Double-Blind Clinical Trials an Added Advantage

Don't leave yourself open to bias and patient adherence issues with your double-blind clinical trials - especially when over-encapsulating active comparators. To help ensure the results of these trials and improve patient compliance, be sure all your double-blind clinical trials use DBcaps® capsules. Designed specifically for this purpose, the unique locking mechanism of DBcaps capsules helps ensure the integrity of the blind and their smaller size improves swallowability.

DBcaps are available in eight different sizes to best accommodate a wide range of comparator shapes and sizes without having to grind or alter the active comparator. With no need to modify the comparator, the clinical materials manufacturing process is simpler, and the risk of bioequivalence issues is significantly reduced.

DBcaps can also be custom formulated in a wide array of colors. For your convenience, five standard colors have been developed that utilize globally accepted colorants and provide sufficient opacity to ensure blinding.
