Established in 2007 it was previously an epicentre for clinical research in neurology and psychiatry and has  presently expanded to all specialities. Our network of highly qualified, capable, and dedicated Investigators now number in excess of 100 medical professionals representing virtually all speciality areas. It is not just the strength and commitment of our Investigators that is the foundation of our success, but the experience and dedication of the Clinical Research Coordinators assisting these physicians in the preparation and conducting of these trials.

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 Mangalore. 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 MCRF 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 will 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 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 it’s outcome, and this demands a professional with expertise, strong problem solving skills, and attention to detail to overcome those obstacles. We provide that experience.

We continually strive to be the finest resource for you and to ensure that we satisfy your specific and unique needs.

Our Specialities:

Sponsor/CRO:
Thank you for your interest in considering MCRF. to assist you in your efforts to bring cutting edge therapies to the marketplace. We take very seriously your mission and are committed to do all that we can to ensure the successful outcome of your clinical investigation. Please contact us to discuss how we may be able to work with each other.

Our bottom line goal is to provide you with ethical, quality oriented, enthusiastic, and experienced clinical research sites in an expedited and efficient manner. Whether you are managing your trial internally or utilizing the services of a Contract Research Organization, we can help speed up the site identification, qualification, initiation, budget/contractual negotiations and start up process. Our internal management and operating procedures are specifically designed to quickly provide you with multiple and highly qualified sites that meet your specific criteria. Because we only present those sites that meet your self-defined needs, you can significantly reduce the time and resources required to evaluate and qualify a site or Principal Investigator.

We assign a Project Manager to your study to assist with early centralized communication. This increases efficiency by reducing the time you typically spend answering similar site generated questions.

We have excellent working relationships with many quality CRO's. Because of these established relationships, communication is greatly enhanced. Additionally, because the CRO may have previously worked with a particular site, they are familiar with its capabilities and past performance. This can significantly reduce time and resources expended during the site identification and qualification process. Having an established relationship between the monitor and site can also reduce monitoring time and expense.

Quality:
All of the Investigators in the MRCF network are highly experienced clinicians and researchers.
Clinical Research Coordinators must also meet stringent criteria. Since we place an enormous amount of responsibility for the success of your study on them, we ensure that they have the skills and capabilities to manage it appropriately.

Efficiency:
Since we utilize our database to identify investigators based on your specific criteria, a significant amount of your time and resources are saved during the initial site identification, screening, and qualification of our investigators.

Because of our ability to present multiple sites, one call to us can assist you in selecting numerous investigative sites. We do not believe in the all or none philosophy. You are always free to select only those sites that you want to use. All sites must (and do) demonstrate their own merit for selection and do not expect to be chosen just because they are part of the network.

Budgetary and contractual discussions are always centralized, thus minimizing lengthy negotiations for each site. Upon agreement of a budget (which is applicable across all sites), a clinical trial agreement can typically be executed within one week or less.

Although all of our services are customized to the specific needs of the Site, the following is a representative sample of solutions we have provided in the past.

 

We invite you to inquire about our Swift enrol program This expedited Investigator recruitment program is implemented to assist Sponsors and CRO's when immediate identification and initiation of a site must occur. We have developed a special network of Investigators who are willing and able to function as emergency, replacement, add on or rescue sites, and will commit to participate in a study within 24 hours of being presented with a protocol and a budget.
