University of Maryland, Baltimore and SNBL CPC Announce the Expansion of their Collaboration to Include Patient Identification/Recruitment for Enrollment into Early Phase
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) June 11, 2016 -- The complexity of clinical protocols in the early-phase clinical trial industry is continuing to increase at a rapid pace, including the need for enrollment of patients with acute and chronic diseases into Phase I and Phase II trials. In order to remain at the forefront of these trends, SNBL CPC is very pleased to expand its collaborative relationship, with University of Maryland, Baltimore(UMB), by working directly with the University of Maryland School of Medicine faculty physicians. This relationship will make patient recruitment services accessible to the biopharmaceutical industry within an even broader range of diseases.
The carefully developed plan for collaboration will allow for patient referrals across all disease states/departments, utilization of specialty equipment/testing at the University, and physician participation as a Primary Investigator or Sub Investigator, in their area of expertise. Patients enrolled will have access to all specialty and subspecialty services available at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Additionally, the University of Maryland School of Medicine faculty physicians will be integrally involved in the care that patients receive. The collaboration is a long standing effort between the President of the University Dr. Jay A. Perman, Dr. E. Albert Reece, the Dean of the School of Medicine, and Dr. Ryoichi Nagata, Chairman and CEO of SNBL Group, and Takeshi Yamakawa, CEO and President of SNBL CPC.
According to Dr. Ryoichi Nagata, Chairman and CEO of SNBL Group, “…since the inception of our company in 2005, SNBL CPC has continued to lead the way in high quality execution of increasingly complex early phase clinical trials. The expansion of the collaboration with the University of Maryland, Baltimore to include patient identification services is yet another example of our market-leading position.”
The University of Maryland, Baltimore is also very pleased with the expansion of the collaboration with SNBL CPC. Dr. Jay A. Perman, President of the University of Maryland Baltimore, said “SNBL CPC has been an important member of the Maryland biotech community and a strong collaborator with UMB since it moved into the University of Maryland BioPark in 2005.
