ARG's collaborative team approach to Clinical Trial Management — along with TrialVista®, our industry—leading CTMS solution — helps small and mid—sized biotech companies ensure that what must go right, does go right, and that what can go wrong, doesn't. The successful outcomes of this approach are exemplified by the following client interactions.

ARG Successfully Starts Up A Phase II Trial Within 6 Weeks

ARG successfully started a Phase II intradialytic hypotension trial and enrolled the first patient within 6 weeks of contract signature. Using TrialVista, ARG's proprietary CTMS, the implementation of all study start-up activities, from investigator recruitment to investigator product supply, was streamlined — and, based on its advanced approach to project management, several steps were significantly reduced or even eliminated.

ARG was able to simultaneously get all the trial materials developed, finalize CRF design and collaborate with qualified investigators to ensure FPI (first patient in) deadlines were achieved ahead of schedule.

ARG has been ahead of every study metric since the FPI deadline and is currently working to continue enrollment on this 15 center, 75 patient trial. Enrollment is expected to be completed by 30 June 2008.
