M3-Wake Research Partners with EmergeOrtho to Create M3-Emerging Medical Research
RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB) November 13, 2018 -- M3 Wake Research Associates, among the nation’s largest Phase I-IV clinical trial site service companies in North America, announces a new partnership with EmergeOrtho, one of the largest physician-owned orthopedic practices in North Carolina, and a leading provider of innovative, quality, comprehensive musculoskeletal care. This new joint venture will form M3-Emerging Medical Research, expanding Wake Research’s coast-to-coast coverage of clinical research populations in the United States and incorporating communities of nearly 20 million people.
“Clinical research like this allows patients to have access to new treatments that may be otherwise unavailable, and advances the care of all patients,” stated David Musante, M.D., spine surgeon at EmergeOrtho. “EmergeOrtho and Wake Research both have an established, successful track record of performing cutting-edge clinical research. Combining forces as M3-Emerging Medical Research will enable us to provide even greater opportunities for our patients’ health.”
M3-Wake Research was originally founded by a large multi-specialty group practice and has conducted clinical research studies since 1984. Based in the Research Triangle Park area of Raleigh, NC, Wake Research has built a combined database of more than 950,000 subjects to date, within an integrated network of 15 research sites operating in seven states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Their board-certified physicians have completed more than 6,000 successful clinical trials in most major therapeutic areas, with particular expertise in gastroenterology, neuroscience, dermatology, endocrinology, immunology, and women’s health.
EmergeOrtho’s team includes more than 100 orthopedic specialty physicians serving patients from 49 locations and across 21 counties in North Carolina. Emerging Medical Research will be integrated as part of M3-Wake Research’s network, and will benefit from M3 Wake’s industry-leading infrastructure including centralized patient recruitment and retention, company-wide QA/QC program, an in-house training program, and marketing and advertising services.
“This exciting partnership brings one of the largest and most established, highly successful physician-owned orthopedic practices in the region into our nationwide research network,” stated Ella Grach, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wake Research. “The EmergeOrtho team has built a strong operation offering an advanced expertise in all subspecialties related to conditions of the bones, muscles, and joints. With its reputation for being patient-focused, and as the ‘go-to practice’ for orthopedic care and research, EmergeOrtho will be a key part of our continued research network expansion,” Dr. Grach continued. “Together, we will continue meeting the evolving needs of the drug discovery process and closing the gap between clinical research and healthcare by offering clinical trials as a care option.”
As a result of this joint venture, Emerging Medical Research joins the family of M3 USA brands including MDLinx, a clinical education and medical news website, The Medicus Firm, a physician and advanced practitioner recruiting firm, and PracticeMatch, which provides healthcare employers with the nation’s largest physician recruitment marketing resource. No further financial details of the transaction were made publicly available at this time.
