Caplin Point Laboratories Limited said that its clinical research organization (CRO) division — Amaris Clinicals, which is located in Chennai, has wrapped up a virtual audit from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with zero observations.

Amaris Clinical is said to be capable of carrying out clinical studies for submissions with various pharma regulators such as the FDA, WHO, EMA, TGA, and ANVISA among others.

C. C. Paarthipan — Chairman of Caplin Point Laboratories said: “It is an excellent milestone for our group, and shows our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and compliance at all our units.
