Verified Clinical Trials & Research Centers of America partner to stop duplicate enrollment in South Florida
We are grateful for this innovative resource and the real-time responses that have helped us avoid duplicate enrollment in our clinical trials. We are truly impressed with the staff at VCT and their readin.ess to help at every step of the process
GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK (PRWEB) APRIL 04, 2017
Research Centers of America (RCA) outpatient and inpatient sites specialize in Phase I-IV clinical trials for all diagnoses in various ages ranging from adult, geriatric, child and adolescent groups. Facing challenges of duplicate enrollment and professional research subjects joining multiple research studies in parallel or simultaneously, RCA has enlisted the help of Verified Clinical Trials. During the very first verifications, attempts at duplicate enrollment were thwarted saving the site and sponsor valuable time and money.
Like many other regions, South Florida has multiple research sites in close proximity and issues with research participants visiting multiple research sites contemporaneously. Furthermore, a review of Verified Clinical Trials data reveals that research subjects are willing to travel long distances for access to study related healthcare and stipends. Without a tool like the VCT clinical trial research subject database registry there would be no way to detect or prevent these issues.
Mitchell Efros MD FACS, CEO stated “We are very focused in establishing our stamp in psychiatry clinical trials as well as in the South Florida region. Both are at high risk for duplicate enrollment in clinical trials and protocol violations secondary to past study participation. Research Centers of America has made an important step to protect the quality and safety of their clinical trials by joining the research subject database registry Verified Clinical Trials.”
Kerri Weingard ANP COO added, “On the very first day Research Centers of America prevented ineligible research subjects from joining their trial prior to a costly screening saving time and money while potentially reducing placebo rates for the sponsor. ”
“We are grateful for this innovative resource and the real-time responses that have helped us avoid duplicate enrollment in our clinical trials. We are truly impressed with the staff at VCT and their readiness to help at every step of the process” said Lisa Nguyen, PsyD COO of Research Centers of America.
