Clinical Trial Patient Safety & Management

Ensuring patient safety throughout clinical trial planning and conduct is paramount

The accurate and timely capturing and reporting of serious adverse events is a critical component of a successful trial. Ensuring proper safety reporting procedures to sites, institutional review boards (IRB) and competent regulatory authorities is of utmost importance in protecting subjects/patients as well as the integrity of the clinical study results. Therefore, ongoing safety analyses and reporting are vital and require vigilant attention to ensure all serious adverse events are reported in accordance with regulatory requirements.

At Veristat we work with the sites, monitors, sponsors, and investigators to ensure proper and timely reporting of all safety issues, thus helping ensure the safety of trial volunteers. We provide:

Post-Marketing Pharmacovigilance and Safety Monitoring

While it is critical to ensure patient safety throughout clinical trial planning, execution, and the regulatory approval process, it doesn’t end there. Once a therapeutic receives regulatory approval, long-term safety monitoring begins to ensure continued patient safety.

We can help you develop, negotiate, and implement your Risk Management Plans with the regulatory agencies. The process begins during the preparation of the marketing application (e.g., NDA, NDS, BLA, etc.) and continues post-approval for the entire time the product/therapeutic is on the market.
