COLUMBIA, Md., Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Advarra, the premier provider of independent review committees, quality and compliance consulting services, and research technology solutions, announced today the launch of its Early Phase Center of Excellence, a dedicated suite of services and solutions tailored to fit the needs of early phase research.

The Early Phase Center of Excellence emphasizes Advarra's commitment to safeguarding trial participants, quality, and compliance, and adds efficiencies to support the rapid timelines inherent to early phase research.

"The Early Phase Center of Excellence builds upon this expertise to create a suite of predictable, transparent services and efficient solutions that helps protect research volunteers and enables Phase I researchers to meet aggressive timelines."

Advarra's dedicated Client Success team is trained to provide responsive and knowledgeable assistance for organizations conducting early phase research. A guidance document is available via the Advarra CIRBI Platform (login required) to help ensure early phase researchers understand IRB expectations and experience a straightforward and predictable IRB review process.

In addition to IRB services, the Early Phase Center of Excellence supports researchers with technology, consulting, and professional services to help optimize efficiency and ensure compliance. Solutions such as informed consent writing, audit support, and Clinical Conductor clinical trial management system (CTMS) support study management and expand bandwidth. Advarra's integrated IRB, IBC, DMC, and EAC services help to further streamline processes.

"We are committed to surpassing client expectations for quality, consistency, and speed with reliable services for existing and new clients," said Lauri Carlile, Senior Vice President of Operations at Advarra. "Our goal is to be a true partner in the protection of human participants."
