Pharmatech Services for Practices

Protocol Development

Pharmatech is very fortunate to have many network investigators bring forth concepts for clinical trials using novel combinations or dosing of commercially available agents. Pharmatech researches the opportunity for funding and then contacts the sponsor investigator to help develop the LOI (Letter of Intent). Sponsor investigators receive compensation for protocol/abstract development and multi-center leadership. If you are interested, please outline your concept on the Abstract Submission Form and submit it to Eric Lynam, VP of Research and Development, at ericl@pharmatech.com.

Regulatory Submission

• Pharmatech relieves the administrative burden for our Investigative Sites by performing regulatory submissions that are necessary for participation in each study.
• Pharmatech also submits protocols and informed consents to Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) for approval. Generally, Pharmatech utilizes a central IRB; however, support is given in situations where a local IRB is used.
• Pharmatech also provides ongoing regulatory support in order to report on adverse and serious adverse events that occur during clinical trials.

Project Management

Pharmatech manages all projects, from beginning to end, with regard to site selection, timelines, enrollment support, data collection and quality control, and grant management.  By managing the project all the way to completion, Pharmatech relieves the site of the huge administrative burden associated with participating in clinical trials. Based on 18 years of research experience, Pharmatech can advise practices as to the feasibility of studies at their practices and answer study-specific questions.

Grant Management

Pharmatech utilizes a proprietary tracking system to automatically convert site enrollment information into receivables and payables. This system provides up-to-date information on grant moneys due, tracking of moneys earned, payment of subject stipends and vendor fees, financial reports, and profit / loss reports.

Data Management

The Pharmatech Data Management team review case report forms for accuracy and completeness, and will advise as to how to correct any discrepancies.

Education and Training

Pharmatech offers a monthly listing of industry training opportunities to practices within the Research Network. Regional investigator research advisory meetings also provide investigators and coordinators with a venue to better understand protocols and the management of clinical trials at their practices.
