We are Responsive, Agile and Exact

We go beyond formulaic approaches because a one-size-fits-all approach to implementing clinical trials is inefficient and ineffective.

.

Inexperienced sites require additional support. Inadequate infrastructure benefits from creative solutions. In areas of conflict, a Plan B, and sometimes a Plan C, is needed. Therefore, our approach is designed to:

Go beyond the typical sites to access the right populations.

We conduct high-quality studies in challenging locations characterized by limited research/healthcare infrastructure, ongoing conflict and decentralized patient populations.

We address challenges across dozens of therapeutic areas, including infectious diseases (IDs), neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and emerging/reemerging diseases.

We facilitate sustainable research capacity through training and by pairing sponsors with research-ready sites that have access to the right patient populations.

WE HAVE PROVEN RESULTS

Rapidly and efficiently implement solutions for the most challenging problems in your studies by leveraging our experience in some of the most complex situations around the world.
