40+ years of experience
Our Services
Coordinating successful multi-center trials can be challenging, even for larger academic institutions with dedicated research support staff. Managing the sequence tasks from concept development, contracting, database development, and site activation to first patient visit can take many months, if not years, to complete.
Hoosier Cancer Research Network offers 40 years of experience managing exclusively oncology/hematology multi-center clinical trials. Our experienced staff collaborates with investigators, member institutions, and funders to open trials, complete accrual, and publish results efficiently and cost effectively.
Clinical Trial Working Groups in multiple therapeutic areas provide expert scientific feedback from thought leaders across the nation, honing great concepts into exceptional clinical trial protocols.
