Press Releases

Dr. Vince Clinical Research (DVCR), a full-service Phase I-II contract research organization (CRO), announced a new solution to conduct renal and hepatic impairment studies. The solution leverages trusted relationships and more effective management of highly regarded specialty sites and subject matter experts to optimize study timelines, ensure efficient recruitment and generate quality data in this highly competitive space. By combining DVCR’s full suite of clinical trial services with their sites’ expertise and thorough understanding of the patient populations required for these studies, this end-to-end solution will challenge the current landscape for managing organ impairment studies.

“Renal and hepatic impairment studies present a set of challenges not seen in most other clinical pharmacology trials because there are a limited number of experienced sites with access to the necessary patient populations,” said DVCR CEO and Medical Director Bradley Vince, D.O. “Furthermore, successfully conducting organ impairment trials requires a unique approach with our sites which enables them to deliver results to their maximum potential.”

DVCR’s trusted relationships with these specialty sites cater to the specific demands of these trials and offer sponsors seamless access for their research,” says Korey Nevitt, DVCR’s Executive Director of Site Partnerships. He continues: “We take a hands-on approach to managing our partner sites for renal and hepatic impairment studies, ensuring streamlined operations and optimal performance in everything from patient enrollment to data management, medical writing and more.”

One such site which DVCR has partnered with is Elixia, and their Chief Scientific Officer Harry Alcorn, Pharm.D., who has served as an investigator on over 350 renal and hepatic impairment protocols. “Conducting these specialty population studies while ensuring the safety of the patients and obtaining quality data demands a long-term relationship,” said Alcorn, “You have to make sure that sites are being properly supported and given the tools they need to succeed by a CRO partner with the knowledge and experience required for these studies. Even better if you are working with a CRO that understands the nuances of clinical pharmacology studies with respect to operations, timelines and financial components. This is why we are thrilled to be partnering with Dr. Vince Clinical Research on upcoming renal and hepatic studies.”
