How do we work?
For each new study, intensive recruitment programs are activated through a broad network of referring physicians and our own database exploration. The warm doctor-patient relationship results in individuals motivated to take part in clinical studies. Referring professionals are trained by our team on good clinical practices to optimize referrals and the collection of source documents for patients to be included.
Work methodology
Quality assurance and standardized operating procedures are the method applied throughout the entire research process.
Regulatory submissions and data collection are carried out promptly. All tasks are governed by our continuously updated standard operating procedure manuals.
The Good Clinical Practice guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonisation (GCP/ICH) are the foundation of our work.
Regulatory and ethics committee inspections, as well as sponsor and CRO audits, have consistently received excellent quality results. Monitor feedback is a tool for continuous improvement.
