Project Management

Improved, continuous communication and increased accountability ensure that the project stays on track, on time and within budget.

Our qualified project managers and experienced consultants provide regulatory information and quality assurance for successful project outcomes.

With every study, we assign a qualified project manager (PM) with a broad background in clinical research development whose skills best match the trial requirements. We understand that communication between the project manager and the client is a major factor for achieving successful project outcomes.

Improved, continuous communication and increased accountability ensure that the project stays on track, on time and within budget. Our structure improves accountability of deliverables and allows for improved peer-to-peer communication between our teams and the sponsor's PMs.

Our PMs must have appropriate training and experience in clinical research, and also receive additional training in these areas:

  • Project plan creation
  • Project management systems
  • GCP and HIPAA guidelines and requirements

Our services include:

Our quality assurance (QA) team ensures adherence to any applicable regulations from the FDA, the Health Products and Food Branch (HPFB) Inspectorate in Canada, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) and other international agencies during each phase of the clinical trial process. Our team ensures that we comply with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and International Conference of Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines (E6).

Our QA team measures, assesses and reports quality data and seeks ways to continually improve quality performance and results. According to industry best practices, our corrective and preventive action (CAPA) process ensures that we investigate significant out-of-specification events, review deviations and discrepancies, report the findings and conclusions of the investigation, and implement and document corrective actions.

Our senior-level auditors conduct unbiased assessments of all aspects of a study, including auditing clinical sites and associated databases and vendors, validating software, and assuring the quality of individual reports, study files, tables and listings. Our QA team also offers training seminars to prepare investigator sites for regulatory inspections.
