Resonance Health (RHT) has secured a contract from internationally publicly listed company Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, to deliver services for a clinical trial to be conducted in Australia.

Over the course of 18 months, RHT will offer clinical research organisation (CRO) services, laboratory analysis, and imaging services to Sun Pharmaceuticals, in a deal valued at $6.3 million.

Additionally, the company will furnish exploratory laboratory biomarker assessment services from its newly established laboratory located in Bentley Tech Park, Western Australia.

“The agreement is a direct outcome of the Resonance Clinical initiative announced in October 2022 and I acknowledge the enormous amount of work performed over the past couple of years to position the company and enable the successful procurement of a pharma services agreement of this magnitude,” RHT CEO Andrew Harrison said.

Resonance and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries have identified multiple trial sites and investigators in Western Australia. Depending on the attainment of regulatory approvals, patient recruitment for the trial could potentially commence in late 2023.

RHT shares were up 18.5 per cent, trading at 7.7 cents at 12:30 pm AEST.
