Integreview IRB and Verified Clinical Trials are dedicated to promoting clinical trial safety and improved data quality
Garden City, New York (PRWEB) May 20, 2015
Verified Clinical Trials (VCT) is the leading North American research subject clinical trials database registry that not only prevents dual enrollment in clinical trials by research subjects but also helps avoid other significant protocol deviations in clinical research trials. Integreview IRB is an ethical review board / independent institutional review board that's dedicated to providing unsurpassed ethical review services for research conducted in the United States, Canada and Latin America. By working together in a strategic partnership, Verified Clinical Trials (VCT), and Integreview IRB have created a new workflow to improve and accelerate use of the VCT authorization form. Ultimately the process is designed to promote research subject safety and improve data quality. The new process employs VCT’s research subject database at the research site level. The two companies have developed a research subject authorization form to be utilized by research site staff, when utilizing Verified Clinical Trials’ services.
Verified Clinical Trials allows the research site staff to check multiple inclusion or exclusion criteria such as concurrent enrollment, prior compound exposure, half-life violations or current screening at another site immediately following consent and authorization form execution. Integreview IRB offers a web-page on their company website for expedited review of the authorization form allowing easy access. This process results in both cost and time-savings.
"Integreview IRB and Verified Clinical Trials are dedicated to promoting clinical trial safety and improved data quality" stated Kerri Weingard COO of Verified Clinical Trials. Ms. Weingard added, "After consent, Verified Clinical Trials is able to look into the research subject’s study history across the entire VCT database and provide answers to the site staff on those previously unknown details surrounding a research subject’s prior study history and eligibility based on the intended protocol’s criteria. Prior to Verified Clinical Trials site staff were not able to truly accomplish this".
Mitchell Efros, MD FACS & CEO stated "Verified Clinical Trials is now the sole system used in the great majority of early phase units in North America as well as late phase site to prevent duplicate enrollment in clinical trials. We have created an even smoother process for our research site users. We congratulate Integreview IRB for understanding the need for an ID-metric HIPAA compliant research subject database. Integreview IRB has taken action and helped enable a simplified expedited process to a much needed solution.”
