Smarter connections, greater flexibility, better results.

Our global model started with multiple international offices. But, we soon realized that careful selection and training of like-minded organizations enabled a far more flexible, better managed, and more efficient international program that allowed handpicking of the best sites, people, and processes to meet your unique trial and program needs. 

This concept evolved into the Agile Clinical Network consisting of research companies, thoroughly trained and certified to meet our exacting standards. In addition to clinical experience and therapeutic background, each member organization understands adaptive principles and the enabling tools and technology. Staff all undergo initial and recurrent training on the Agile Clinical Development approach which provides certification on all required processes and technology. The result is a fully aligned global team, focused on rapid, efficient program execution and unprecedented performance.

For many, the notion of a tightly run global trial using information immediately available to all team members is the hope for the future of our industry.

For us it's business as usual, and has been for 20 years.

		Conventional Clinical Research		Agile Clinical Development
Study process		Inconsistent; labor-intensive, manual		Structured, technology-leveraged, centralized oversight
Staffing model		"Feet on the street" - many offices, large staff, inconsistent control		Lean teams with flexible local staffing, centralized oversight
Personnel training		Initial; possible retraining during trial		Sites & personnel certified, and then accredited on systems and management processes, continuous training throughout program
Management		Local, inconsistent		Centralized, standardized
Speed of report     availability		Weeks		Minutes
Progress and quality     markers		Incomplete, sparse, or not available		Broad range available continuously to entire study team
Risk mitigation		Poor; at local level often inconsistent/unreliable		Excellent; detailed information continuously available to entire study team
