Clinical Operations Services

Clinical operations play a pivotal role in the successful execution of clinical research, encompassing the design, implementation, and management of Phase I to IV trials.

With the increasing complexity of clinical trials, driven by heightened regulatory guidelines, the pressure on clinical operations teams has intensified. While some organizations allocate considerable time and resources to this aspect, others opt to outsource their clinical trials to Contract Research Organizations (CROs) specializing in the specific field of research. These CROs offer comprehensive services, ensuring end-to-end support for the seamless execution of trials.

Our dedicated clinical operations team collaborates with you to optimize the design of your clinical trials, implement patient-centric approaches, and provide guidance throughout the entire clinical development lifecycle. Discover how our experts can assist you in the multi-phase development of your clinical operations.

Data Safety Monitoring Board

Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) services provide you with improved workflows, compliance, and communication to ensure the safety and integrity of your clinical study data.

PhoPharma’s team of medical consultants provide the option of safety data review (i.e., individual case safety reports and/or aggregate summaries of data) by a physician with experience in pharmacovigilance. The review and consultation include an assessment of the data and its significance to the conduct of the study. Our team then provides a recommendation for any actions to be taken, including reporting of aggregate data to the FDA as an IND Safety Report, requesting review by the DSMB, and/or changes to the Investigator's Brochure, Informed Consent Form, or study protocol.

ProPharma's DSMB, medical monitoring, and physician teams support a wide variety of therapeutic areas and will meet your requirements and keep your study moving forward by providing any or all of the following services:

• DSMB program support
• Blinded and unblinded DSMB meeting support
• Eligibility requirements review for inclusion/exclusion criteria issues
• Protocol review for exemptions and deviations
• Medical crisis impact review involving a study patient
• Biostatistician review
• Laboratory findings review
• Reporting a serious adverse event (SAE)
• Causality assessment discussions
• Clinical Trial Emergency Unblinding Services

Medical Monitoring Services

At ProPharma, our medical monitoring consultants will work with you to ensure safety and compliance throughout your clinical trials, from pre-trial planning through end-of-trial review.

Our team of physicians can evaluate your medical monitoring system to ensure there are no pharmacovigilance medical monitoring bandwidth issues, and partner with you to ensure you have the right resources to keep your clinical trials on schedule.

We will help you meet requirements to maintain quality and compliance throughout your clinical trials. Our medical monitors have vast knowledge in a wide variety of therapeutic areas and partner with you to address all your needs, including:

This enables the project to reach completion faster while improving the overall quality of the work and driving efficiencies. As part of our FSP model, we provide functional expertise, resource management, and innovative solutions that are customized to meet the specific needs of our clients.

ProPharma offers a range of FSP models to fit all requirements, providing specific therapeutic area expertise, operational expertise, and integrated processes and systems, to ensure we map the right outsourcing approach to fit your project. We help our clients develop solutions that span clinical operations and clinical data sciences, as well as safety, nonclinical, and regulatory writing.

ProPharma provides all levels of support ranging from deploying a small group of experts within a function to supplementing an entire department of full-time equivalent staff. Our team of experts works as an extension of your team, bringing you immediate scalable resources who will align with your processes and environment. With our collaborative approach, we can provide strategic solutions that are built on a foundation of strong partnerships.

Speed to Global Scale

With our deep-rooted expertise across countless therapeutic areas, we can anticipate obstacles and develop a strategy that fits our clients’ unique needs. Having a top-tier team of professionals allows our FSP infrastructure to move resources internally across clinical programs.

Time and Cost Efficiencies

The FSP model offers significant reduction in costs with greater potential to drive operational efficiencies over time. We enable companies to grow in infrastructure without the headcount burden & risks associated with HR costs & processes. Let ProPharma manage the administrative burden, so you can concentrate on the core tasks of the clinical trial, ensuring business continuity and driving efficiencies.

Decentralized Clinical Trials

Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) are studies that are designed for study visits, procedures, and data collection to occur outside of the traditional site setting. DCTs revolve around the concept of patient centricity, with the goal of making participation easier and more convenient for the patient, ultimately creating a larger, more diverse population to test your drug or device while ensuring patient comfort and safety. The increased flexibility of DCTs expands the geographical reach, improves recruitment and retention, and enhances the patient experience while providing Sponsors with reliable data.

We support DCTs by providing the opportunity for study visits to take place in a location convenient to the patient, such as their home or office, supported by our team of employee GoClinical Clinicians who are trained in GCP and protocol-specific procedures. 

Home Visits

It can be overwhelming to determine how to deploy a decentralized approach, so incorporating home visits into your protocol is often a great place to start. ProPharma can support home visits as part of a hybrid or completely virtual trial design. Home visits allow for greater flexibility in your study design and reduce the burden of participation on the patient by designing processes that fit into the patient’s life, rather than asking the patient to fit their life into the trial. Allowing simple procedures to be performed in the patient’s home, also reduces the burden on the site by allowing site staff to focus on recruiting and enrolling patients and more complex procedures.

Proprietary eSource Technology

GoClinical, our proprietary, 21 CFR Part 11 and GDPR compliant eSource platform allows for the collection of source data from home visits and electronically sends data for entry into the EDC. All source forms are designed per study to mirror the CRF and act as a guide for our GCCs performing home visits. This approach to source collection significantly reduces source turnaround times, reduces documentation errors, and improves PI oversight.

Experience and Global Reach

ProPharma has invested in hiring the best leaders within the Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) space to build out the most efficient operational strategy based on lessons learned from several years of past experience. As the decentralized approach grows in the clinical research space, it is becoming even more important for Sponsors to have a reliable partner that can assist in designing trials with decentralized approaches in mind. Our DCT leadership team has over 10 years of experience in the DCT space and can help your team design and implement the right DCT solutions for your trial. Whether you’re interested in hybrid or completely virtual clinical trials, our team of experts can help.
