Clinical Trial Support

IMS provides a full range of services to support biomedical research ideas from inception through implementation and into publication. Our team approach provides flexibility and rapid deployment for full study management or for specific tasks.

Clinical trials and biomedical research projects are diverse. Our staff has successfully supported numerous project types, including:

• Clinical trials - pharmaceutical, device, and vaccine
• Early disease detection projects
• Health survey processing
• Epidemiological data collections

IMS biomedical research staff and statisticians work closely with investigators and site staff to develop study protocols, manuals of procedures, and field study logistics. Data collection instruments are designed to capture key covariates and outcome measures using standardized nomenclatures and coding systems. Assistance and oversight of regulatory compliance is provided.

Our biomedical editors work closely with site research staff to confirm patient eligibility, provide randomized treatment assignments, and answer questions on protocol procedures. They ensure data of the highest quality through query and error resolution. IMS staff may travel to the research centers to provide training and site initiation, and to monitor study progress.

IMS is familiar with interim study monitoring and oversight reporting, including report preparation and presentation to oversight groups such as Data and Safety Monitoring Boards and the FDA.

IMS provides data analysis assistance and prepares data displays for publication. We collaborate with manuscript authors to write and submit of papers, and have co-authored hundreds of scientific publications.
