What We Do

We present qualified, pre-screened, Principal Investigators for participation in clinical trials in virtually any speciality area.

We have developed effective and stable relationships with many highly experienced, qualified and enthusiastic Clinical Investigators and Clinical Research Coordinators throughout the United States. This includes single practitioners, large single and multi-specialty practices, physician networks, hospital based physician's, and academic medical centers. All of the Investigators within the CIC network have been evaluated to ensure they not only are qualified to conduct clinical trials, but have the patient population and administrative capabilities to properly conduct it. They must meet specific minimal standards before being included in the network. We only present those Investigators meeting the specific selection criteria outlined by the Sponsor or CRO. This eliminates a significant amount of time and expense when attempting to qualify, enroll, and initiate a site.

We ensure timely and accurate regulatory board submission and data collection
All sites have dedicated, full time, and experienced clinical research coordinators to ensure the prioritized and accurate submission of regulatory documents, appropriate site orientation/initiation, patient recruitment, screening and enrollment as well as the collection of clean and accurate data. Our own internal management and quality assurance practices further assures that tasks are completed quickly and accurately and any problems that jeopardize the success of the study are quickly identified and resolved.

We provide access to a large patient study population
Prior to us presenting an Investigator for study participation, we assess the patient population from which study subjects will be drawn to assure the increased likelihood of enrollment goals being met. Although we believe that carefully orchestrated advertising can assist in meeting enrollment goals, we firmly believe that the site must have the patient population or internal referral base from which to enroll patients.

We see advertising as an adjunct to our own internal efforts...not the primary method of subject enrollment. CIC also maintains an aggressive volunteer subject recruitment program assist the sites in enrollment efforts. We are pleased to report that CIC sites will consistently perform above average in enrollment, and have, on many occasions, been recognized as national top enrollers for a myriad of studies.

We provide ongoing and effective communication between Sites, Investigators, and Customers
The cornerstone of any successful clinical investigation is ongoing support and communication between all parties. Because of our commitment to the successful outcome of every study in which we participate, an internal Project Manager is assigned to each study to ensure that communication is maintained and that the study receives the full attention it deserves until completion. There are undoubtedly numerous variables and situations that arise during the conduct of a study that could compromise its outcome, and this demands a professional with expertise, strong problem solving skills, and attention to detail to overcome those obstacles. We provide that experience. Finally you may ask WHY CIC ?
