Spectrum Clinical Research

CINCINNATI, OH – Radiant Research, Inc. today announced that it has completed discussions to establish a strategic partnership with Spectrum Clinical Research, a CRO/SMO based in India. This partnership will allow Radiant to provide CRO and site services across both North America and India.

“The demand for research capabilities outside of the United States is growing each year,” said Julie McHugh, Vice President of Late Phase Clinical Research, Radiant Research, Inc. “I was extremely impressed with Spectrum’s quality programs and track record for recruitment. This partnership will allow our sponsors to place a global trial through Radiant and know that the same quality and expertise they have come to expect from our organization will be realized at our partner organization in India.”

Radiant currently has a full service CRO, a patient recruitment division, and 24 wholly-owned sites in the US. Radiant will now be able to manage and monitor studies conducted in India, as well as offer seven sites in India through the Spectrum network. Clients will be able to utilize the services of both organizations through one contract and one budget.

“This partnership is an excellent opportunity for our pharmaceutical sponsors to avail services of a local organization well versed in the local culture and capable of quick recruitment without loss of quality or deviation from US standards and avoidance of multiple contracts,” said Dr. Viral Shah, Medical Director of Spectrum Clinical Research. “Global quality with local touch”

Both Radiant and Spectrum share therapeutic expertise in asthma/allergy, endocrinology, cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, medical devices, men's and women's health, neurology, oncology, pulmonology, rheumatology and immunology/vaccine.
