I need a company that operates successfully out of North America

The quality of healthcare in the United States is second to none. That’s why, depending on the type of study being proposed, the United States continues to be an attractive region for conducting clinical trials. U.S. hospitals offer some of the best care in the world as standard practice, so if you need to conduct a specialized critical care study in a controlled environment, the United States is the place to go.

U.S. clinical investigators also enjoy one of the best reputations in the world, being well-trained in assent/consent, teacher/care-giving rating scales and enrollment practices. An added benefit of the United States is that dedicated research centers and centralized IRBs allow fast study start-up times – in almost any global trial, U.S. centers are typically the first to enroll patients.

Top reasons to conduct a clinical trial in North America:

1. Study population - the FDA has traditionally required patient populations for a trial to be representative of the U.S. population.
   
   
2. Investment - the United States leads the world in investment in biopharmaceutical R&D.
   
   
3. Fast start-up times - dedicated research centers and centralized IRBs allow for fast study start-up times. In almost any global trial, U.S. centers are typically the first to enroll patients.
   
   
4. Pediatric trials expertise - the United States has conducted more pediatric trials than any other country, and investigators are well-trained in the areas of assent/consent, teacher/care-giver rating scales and enrollment practices.
   
   
5. Critical care - U.S. hospitals offer some of the best care in the world as standard practice, and thus the ability to run specialized critical care studies in a controlled environment.
