BEIJING, Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroConstants China Inc., a Contract Research Organization (CRO) conducting preclinical pharmacokinetic studies, early-stage clinical trials, and regulated bioanalysis in China, has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with the clinical research center of the No. 307 Hospital of People's Liberation Army to provide site management services. The agreement designates MicroConstants China as No. 307 Hospital's official site management organization (SMO).

Over the past three years, MicroConstants China has worked closely with the Phase I unit of No. 307 Hospital to implement quality systems and procedures that comply with International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) guidelines. This has included developing standard operating procedures (SOP), training clinical site personnel, performing quality assurance (QA) audits, installing a clinical trial information management system (CTIMS), and obtaining SIDCER Recognition from the Forum for Ethical Review Committees in the Asian and Western Pacific Region (FERCAP).

"Through our collaboration with MicroConstants China, we have learned the true meaning of GCP compliance in daily practice and are now capable of identifying deficiencies and coming up with corrective actions to address them," said Dr. Zeyuan Liu, director of the clinical pharmacology unit at No. 307 Hospital. "Working with MicroConstants China enabled us to improve our quality system in a short period of time and effectively win contracts from major global pharmaceutical companies."

"The execution of this strategic collaboration agreement verifies our achievements and is an important step for our SMO business," said Dr. Q. David Yang, chief executive officer of MicroConstants China. "Our goal is to implement ICH GCP compliant quality systems for more clinical trial centers in China so their clinical trial data can be submitted directly to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for approval."
