IRB

L&C uses only the services of Central IRBs this helps us meet our deadline goals of IRB submissions with a quick turnaround time of 3 days. The standard turnaround time of Central IRB for expedited review of research sites is one business day. This turnaround time applies only when a submission is complete and — if there is any – follow up resolved. Additionally, site approval will not be provided until the study has been approved and the informed consent finalized. Site submissions are processed by expedited review daily or may be referred for a full board review under certain circumstances.

SOPs

L&C has prepared numerous Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to conduct clinical trials according to GCP guidelines. SOPs are available in the areas of: Administrative, Clinical, Data Management, Laboratory, and Pharmacy.

Budgets

Our contracts and budgets have a turnaround time of less than 72 hours.

Internal Polices

L&C has created the internal policies for contracts/budgets with all pharmaceutical companies. The overhead rate charged to all sponsors is between 25 and 30%. This is based on last year’s financials, and the rate is revised annually.

Clinical research, a process that generates, collects, and analyzes large amounts of data, lends itself naturally to the digitization process. The adoption of information technology in clinical research has been rapid when compared to other industries. L&C will promote the use of these technologies to achieve excellence in clinical trials.

Our team has experience with many of the leading Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and clinical trial management systems and has worked with several software vendors to provide guidance during their development cycles. We help clients through the system selection process, support pre-implementation planning activities, can lead or support the implementation of the selected software package and provide post-implementation support to optimize how the system is used. In addition, we support related organization redesign, change management and training needs to ensure smooth adoption of the system.

Clinical Research Billing

Our team has the specialized regulatory and financial expertise to help institutions successfully navigate the complex billing rules and regulations of clinical research. We conduct assessments of the clinical trial budgeting, charging and billing process and provide solutions to improve efficiencies, cost reimbursement and compliance.

Responsible and Ethical Research

L&C provides strategic advice, education, policies, and practical operational solutions to help institutions conduct their research in a responsible and ethical manner. We help develop reasonable and compliant policies to identify, analyze, and manage conflicts of interests, as well as assist with investigations.

Human Research Protections and Institutional Review Boards

We provide comprehensive assessment and implementation services to strengthen compliance and improve the efficiency of human research protections and Institutional Review Board (IRB) operations.

On-Demand Interim Staff and Management Support

We provide our clients with experienced staff to temporarily fill vacant positions or assist with periodic peaks in workflow. We have a team of seasoned professionals who have served in management and staff positions in clinical trials offices, IRBs, research billing units, and held numerous administrative positions. We strive to reduce backlogs, improve service levels, and assess staffing levels and skill sets for permanent candidates.
