Almac and ESMS Global Collaborate to Offer Unique Clinical Trial Support
Sponsors Requesting 24/7 Medical Support & Emergency Unblinding can Save Time and Money
In a unique partnership arrangement,
In compliance with E6 Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations [section 5.13], this unique partnership provides clinical trial sponsors immediate access to the clinical assessment for and, if deemed appropriate, emergency unblinding procedures to support patient safety even if the Principle Investigator is not physically present with the patient. This unique service results in reduced time, effort and disturbance to the study subject involved thereby guaranteeing patient retention at an optimum level and global capture of safety reports.

As a result of the combined clinical knowledge base and expertise offered, typically from 95% of calls where emergency unblinding is initially requested, only 5% are actually performed. This reduces the significant expenditure concerned with acquiring new patients to ensure the trial is not compromised.
“The strategic relationship we have formed with ESMS allows us to combine our knowledge and expertise to enable us to equip clinical trial sponsors with immediate access to information enabling them to make an instantaneous decision whether or not to unblind the patient, even in the absence of the principle investigator.” says Jim Murphy, President of Almac’s Clinical Technologies business unit “This partnership is further evidence of our commitment to help sponsors get their new drugs to market faster by being innovative in all aspects of our service offering.”
Rita Fitzpatrick, ESMS General Manager commented on the collaboration “We are delighted to team up with Almac to provide this level of support and service to our global clients.”
