Clinical Trials
Quality Management and Negotiations
Conducting a successful clinical trial demands a seemingly impossible synchronicity in timelines, budget and contract negotiations. These must be balanced with the need to ensure that the trials are in compliance with the several intervening state and federal regulatory laws. A miscalculation or a delay can result in serious financial setbacks. Since clinical trials involve human participation, this process requires additional layers of transparency, ethical considerations, and also requires consideration of privacy and intellectual property rights of each party involved.

This offers our firm a deep understanding in managing the numerous situations that can arise with guiding a clinical trial.

Transparency
Recent years have seen an accelerated push for transparency in clinical trial results conducted by life science organizations. In addition to helping clients navigate the complex and interweaving laws and regulations governing global clinical trial negotiations, our firm is firmly committed to aiding clients in adhering to the highest standards of clinical trial disclosures and transparency based on the varying laws.
We have created global transparency programs for global pharmaceutical companies using a customized process addressing at least 6 different types of transparency programs. Through personalized interventions, we help sponsors make informed decisions on disclosure and transparency. Our services reduce the possibilities of sanctions and at the same time help our client to be patient-centric by making trial results transparent and readily accessible. Such actions are globally consistent, generate trust among the general public, and encourage increased trial participation.
