Flexible CRO

Accelovance is a “patient-centric” CRO that demonstrates partnership through a flexible full-service offering, a shared passion for a Sponsor’s study objectives, strong communication and diverse therapeutic expertise. We seek to maximize study productivity and operational efficiencies for the Sponsor; reducing study budgets by 15-25% and never initiating a change order, reducing study timelines by 25-75%, and bringing greater predictability to overall study execution.

Unlike most CROs, our solutions proactively address patient recruitment/retention/compliance by thinking of the patient and the site operations first and foremost. Without the patient, there is no data. Without data, there is no study. Owning and operating six  Accelovance clinical sites has provided visibility to clinical operations and patient management that other CROs never acquire.

People & Client Priority

We believe that timelines and critical milestones are met through focus, priority and relevant experience. As a result, Accelovance is selective in the opportunities we pursue and dedicates a team 100% to each Sponsor’s study. We are also committed to team consistency – 97% staff retention.

Innovative study approaches incorporate the knowledge of CRO team members who average 18 years of industry experience, diverse therapeutic experience, clinical and medical expertise, and strong patient perspective.

Project Management

Accelovance’s approach to study management is based on a patient-centric perspective, focused on what the study really needs: patients/subjects. We start first with an evaluation of the patient population and recruitment needs.  This is followed by an assessment of site resources and operations, and how the CRO will manage against challenges to ensure critical time, budget and quality needs are met. Team members are fully dedicated to a Sponsor to ensure focus and proper resource allocation.

Monitoring
Our Clinical Monitors (CRAs) include of a blend of in-house and full-time contractors regionally positioned across North America. Regional/Local CRA assignment minimizes or eliminates travel costs and maximizes the productivity and quality of each monitoring visit. Accelovance CRAs have a minimum of five years’ experience prior to joining our organization and are knowledgeable of all aspects of the study. They are highly skilled, therapeutically aligned, centrally trained and committed to excellence in every study. Quality CRAs ensure the integrity of the study, adherence to protocol, quality of measurements, safety of Subjects and valid data.
Data Management

Accelovance offers both electronic data capture (EDC) and paper-based data management options, giving Sponsors options based on cost, timelines, study size and clinical strategy. We can implement our own data management system, Study Manager™, utilize a Sponsor’s proprietary system, or collaborate with a preferred third party vendor. Regardless of what system is used, Accelovance is flexible and focused on the quality and integrity of the data collected.  

Study Manager™ is both an EDC system and a clinical trial management system (CTMS). This dual functionality provides significant efficiencies and cost-savings; tangible value that is aligned with our corporate commitment to Sponsors.. Our core competencies in data management come from our knowledge of standards, our compliant systems and the effective use of our own commercially available data management system.
