CLEVELAND--ClinicalRM, Inc. and the Ohio Clinical Trials Collaborative (OCTC) announce a co-marketing partnership offering joint services for clinical trials of new biologics, drugs and medical devices. The relationship will serve the organizations' mutual customers with a full spectrum of development services, including access to a network of veteran investigators, patient population identification, clinical operations, and guidance on medical/regulatory affairs.
"ClinicalRM is pleased to align forces with the OCTC. Expedited access to Ohio's premier medical institutions will shorten the time to start a new multisite clinical trial as well as assure timely patient enrollment for our clients," said Alan Braverman, PharmD, Vice President of Clinical Operations of ClinicalRM, a 20-year-old full-service contract research organization headquartered in NE Ohio. The firm has over 350 scientific, clinical, and other personnel dedicated to providing strong clinical trial services and support.
The pharmaceutical industry faces a challenging and expensive process for the conduct of clinical trials. The OCTC offers centralized access to Ohio's premier medical centers for clinical trial development. It is a statewide initiative that streamlines contracting, budgeting, approval of human subject use and patient recruitment/enrollment processes to move medical discoveries to market faster. ClinicalRM, a full-service contract research organization (CRO), supports these clinical trials with an array of clinical operations, quality management, and regulatory affairs services, along with a regional and globally experienced scientific advisory board.
"Integrating ClinicalRM's services into the OCTC's clinical trials network will provide a powerful engine for new pharmaceutical, biologic and medical device development in Ohio," said John Peterson, PhD, Global Business Development Director of the OCTC.
