Clinical Trial Monitoring

Clinical research associates (CRA)

Our skilled and well-trained CRAs ensure the highest quality review of data and effective interaction with study sites. Our CRAs conduct on-site monitoring visits throughout the study to:

• Oversee data collection
• Review source documentation and case report forms
• Ensure regulatory compliance
• Resolve data queries
• Conduct interim analyses as requested by clients

The PPD™ clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific is dedicated to employing and retaining well-qualified CRAs who:

• Have demonstrated site monitoring proficiency to our management before being allocated to a study
• Are typically dedicated to one protocol at a time to maintain quality
• In Europe and Asia, are assigned to monitor sites in their home countries, providing understanding of local languages, regulations, customs and business practices
