RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Quintiles
Transnational Corp. today announced that clinical investigators rate their
relationships with Quintiles the best in the industry, according to a
recent survey.
The survey, blinded and conducted by a third party, asked clinical
investigators to rate their relationships and experience with Clinical
Research Organizations (CROs). Quintiles and eight other CROs were rated on
fifteen attributes, including ability to support and facilitate regulatory
approval, therapeutic expertise, timely compensation and project
organization. Quintiles was rated in the top three for eleven of the
fifteen attributes, more than any other CRO, and had the highest percentage
of investigators - 39% - who gave Quintiles the highest rating of
"excellent" for site relationship.
"The survey affirms our emphasis on developing strong relationships
with clinical investigators, particularly in light of the recent findings
that they rate our clinical trial monitors as the best," said Jeff Thomis,
President, Global Clinical Development Services. "Strong relationships lead
to faster patient recruitment and a more efficient clinical development
process."
The survey also showed that investigators rate Quintiles as the leader
in overall satisfaction among CROs, with the highest percentage, 37%, of
"very satisfied" scores.
A third-party research company interviewed 291 investigators across the
U.S. from December 2006 to January 2007. Investigators rated only those
CROs with whom they had worked in the last 18 months. On average,
investigators had worked with four different CROs in the last 18 months.
