Clinical Trial Services

Site Monitoring

Cancer Research And Biostatistics (CRAB) provides clinical monitoring in accordance with FDA regulatory requirements (21 CFR part 312.50 and 21 CFR part 312.56) and Good Clinical Practices guidelines.  CRAB’s monitors are experts in the field of data management and oncology research.

Monitoring visit services include:

  • Pre-study/site qualification visit
  • Site initiation visits
  • Interim monitoring visits
  • Close-out visit

CRAB’s monitoring experience spans all types of trials from large-scale prevention studies, to Investigator-initiated/sponsored studies (IIT/IST), to Phase I-IV industry sponsored trials.

Our monitors provide on-site review of regulatory documents, drug accountability records, queries, case report forms and source documents to ensure the clinical trial is being conducted according to the protocol and good clinical practice guidelines. Subject charts are closely reviewed to confirm eligibility and protocol compliance. In addition, site monitors provide on-site training to site staff as needed and requested, to ensure compliance with protocol and study procedures. Detailed reports are provided to both the client and site investigator at the conclusion of each visit.   

CRAB monitors are dedicated research professionals who provide quality clinical monitoring services for their clients.  Our monitors work closely with project and data management team members at CRAB to ensure each client’s regulatory and compliance requirements are met with success and satisfaction.
