Clinician-Led Model

The Foundation’s unique KOL- and Clinician-Led model provides significant advantages for the sponsor. This model transfers responsibility for quality of data and timely delivery, patient recruitment and medical/scientific guidance to experienced clinician investigators, a role that has been transferred to many larger CROs in an effort to maximize their revenues.

Experienced clinicians have real-world knowledge of patient relations and treatments providing a valuable interface between the sponsor and the physician/patient.
The Foundation’s Scientific Board members, being practicing clinicians, are far more aware of prescribing needs and practices and hence are more focused and aware of the marketplace and can assist in protocol design for smaller companies.

As academic clinical research organisation, we are not driven to ever increase profit margins and seek to increase turnover in areas not necessarily within capabilities/experience in order to satisfy shareholders, to the financial and efficacy detriment of the sponsor.

The Investigators are supported by the Foundation Clinical Operations Group – a highly experienced group who have all worked in large CROs and understand there is a better way to undertake research.
