Process Driven Clinical Resear

Clinical Study Kick Off

INC Research, LLC, a therapeutically focused contract research organization (CRO) with a trusted process for delivering reliable results, is proud to announce that it has recently completed its 300th QuickStart® Camp, which is a unique, week-long kick-off meeting with the customer that is designed to reconcile expectations and build study ownership by the entire project team right up front. QuickStart Camp is part of the second phase in INC Research's Trusted Process®, the company's proven, metrics-driven clinical trial outsourcing. When compared to industry benchmarks established by CMR International Institute for Regulatory Science, customers experience 35 percent faster project startup time after experiencing QuickStart.

"The feedback we receive from our customers on QuickStart Camp is overwhelming. They are continually impressed with how our teams prepare, facilitate and organize our innovative kick-off meetings, particularly when compared to other experiences," said Jeff Kueffer, senior vice president, Operations Management and chief architect of the Trusted Process at INC Research. "Not only does QuickStart establish a sound foundation for project implementation, it provides a forum to improve the study's protocol assumptions from the beginning."

INC Research has received numerous comments from customers that have experienced QuickStart Camp over the years. Here is just a sample:

• "Great team building experience. You incorporated lessons learned from previous studies and have made a lot of progress in only two days." -- Leading pharmaceutical company specializing in CNS and respiratory diseases.

• "We embraced the QuickStart model as we are able to eliminate the day to day distractions, geographic distance and bring access to key people. The team has great energy." -- Large, global pharmaceutical company

• "Went through QuickStart Camp once, came back to INC Research because of the people who are committed to our trial." -- Large, global pharmaceutical company; repeat customer

QuickStart is one of four phases in INC Research's Trusted Process clinical trials methodology, which proactively leads sponsors through their drug development programs reducing variability and increasing predictability in trial outcomes. Each phase -- PlanActivation, QuickStart, ProgramAccelerate and QualityFinish -- is designed to maintain high standards throughout the process, which leads to a high level of confidence to make informed decisions about study data and analysis. INC Research is a corporate member of the Metric Champion Consortium committed to developing industry-accepted performance metrics for clinical trials.
