Why us
We know that the patients deserve access to the best potential therapies. Biopharma companies need to recruit patients as rapidly and as efficiently as possible for the success of their clinical trials.
During the past 10 years clinical trials have become more and more complex. The designs and procedures have been increasingly complicated, demanding more time, staff and efforts, which resulted in discouraging patient enrollment and retention.
IRN’s unique study delivery model for support Sponsors in Clinical trials ensure:
Shorter study timelines, lower costs and elevated quality metrics.
Faster patient recruitment
Improved data management
Better focus for research teams and decreased burden for the PI
Audit Readiness from Start to the End of the Clinical Trial
Our vision
Successfully completed trials lead to more innovative treatments on the market and in turn, this leads to better treatment options for patients, increased quality of life, better chance to survive and more patient lives saved.
