  • Protect patients. Review the performance of the trial at designated sites, ensure the rights and well-being of human subjects are safeguarded and are in accordance with protocol.
  • Drive productivity. Develop patient recruitment strategies in conjunction with the clinical site to meet enrollment timelines while also Ensuring compliance with the approved standard operating procedures (SOPs), protocol/amendment(s), GCP, and the applicable regulatory requirement(s).
  • Ensure quality. Evaluate the quality and integrity of the reported data, site efficacy and drug accountability.
  • Execute. Monitor completeness and quality of Regulatory Documentation and perform site document verification.
