SGS Clinical Pharmacology Unit (CPU) is one of the leading Phase I Units in Europe, conducting complex Phase I and -IIa clinical trials in healthy subjects and trials in different patient populations. The CPU is located on the grounds of the University Hospital Antwerp in Edegem, Belgium and occupies a total area of 6.500 m², in a dedicated, purpose-built building connected to the hospital.

Our SGS CPU started its activities in the early 1980s as a 24-bed unit located inside the well-known hospital of ZNA Stuivenberg in Antwerp, Belgium. Expanding over the years.  Following the CPU’s relocation into a brand-new, state-of-the-art building in September 2021, the bed capacity increased to 110 beds, including a ‘High Care’ unit in our general ward and 2 isolation wards (30 +16 beds), fully equipped with dedicated areas to support study execution and assessments. We continue to innovate in our equipment and techniques, bringing added value to our clients and remaining at the forefront of early-phase clinical research.
