We specialize in IND-enabling clinical pharmacology studies, cardiovascular safety, and clinical proof of concept. We provide expertise on study design, offering in-house medical writing, clinical data management, biostatistics, project management, clinical laboratory, and PK/PD analysis.

Our commitment to quality goes beyond the simple acquisition of data. We employ proven processes rooted in a rigorous quality management system that encompasses every aspect of our organization, ensuring the highest standards in the industry.

Data has the potential to be compromised by human error, both when entered into systems by staff or during handoffs. Because Phase I studies start and are executed 40% faster than all other phases, you need a team and systems that understand these nuances. At Spaulding Clinical, we were the first and the only organization to have built an integrated eSource/data management system from the ground up that essentially eliminates human transcription along with the need for data handoffs to other vendors.
