INNOVADERM CRO IS NOW INDERO.

Site Selection & Management

Strategic site selection for dermatology and rheumatology clinical trials, based on relevant experience in your indication, positive indicators in efficacy assessments, and proven recruitment track records.

Dermatology & Rheumatology Site Selection

By carefully selecting the right sites for your clinical trial, sponsors can expect reliable data, timely recruitment, and cost-effective study management. Indero’s team of site selection specialists is always working on finding the best sites to increase our extensive dermatology and rheumatology site database. Here’s how we work:
(1) Site List 
  • Evaluate your study protocol with a cross-functional team to fully understand site requirements and core competencies.
  • Develop site selection strategy, including recruitment objectives and projections based on competitive landscape, timelines, and sites’ past performance metrics.
  • Create a site list and an initial expression of interest.
(2) Site Outreach
  • Conduct a pre-feasibility assessment.
  • Pre-identify the most suitable sites and anticipate potential challenges.
  • Develop feasibility questionnaire based on pre-feasibility and study protocol.
  • Evaluate expected site performance.

(3) Site Qualification Visit (SQV) 

  • Define type of SQV based on specific study requirements and selection strategy.
  • Evaluate FQ and site qualifications to determine if a CRA should conduct an SQV for that site (onsite or remote).
  • Provide feedback based on SQV.

 

(4) Site Selection 

  • Receive CRA recommendations within 24–48 hours of the SQV, with final recommendation for selection (or not) from a site selection specialist.
  • Fast track designation can be applied to sites whom Indero has worked with in the last 12 months, accelerating selection and lowering costs (no SQV required).
  • Site selected with sponsor approval.

We are excited to announce that Innovaderm is rebranding our CRO division as Indero (in-dAIR-oh). This rebranding reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and our expansion into the field of rheumatology, a therapeutic area closely linked to dermatology. As a dual-focus CRO specializing in both dermatology and rheumatology, this strategic decision marks a significant milestone for our organization, and we are eager to embark on this new chapter with our valued partners and clients. Additionally, our Clinical Research Unit (CRU) will keep the name Innovaderm and will continue to conduct dermatology studies.
