Testimonials
Alzheimer’s Study Sponsor
Good afternoon Dr. [Omid] Omidvar, [CNS], I am writing to invite you to participate in a Phase
IIb Alzheimer’s trial. You and your team were one of the top enrolling sites for the XXX Elderly
MRD trial and we think that you and your team could be perfect for the trial.
ADHD Study Sponsor
Dr. [Andrew] Cutler, Patti, and Florida Clinical Research Center staff have been wonderful
throughout their work on our studies. The team exceeded their enrollment goal and closed the
study with a remarkably low screen failure and early discontinuation rate. In addition, and the
quality of their work on both studies has been exceptional – their source and CRF data have
been clean resulting in cost and time savings for our monitoring and data management
activities. Dr. Cutler has also been incredibly helpful by collaborating with our team on patient
recruitment strategies, the appropriate use of our study diagnostic tool, and sharing his
thoughts about future development work with the compound.
ADHD Study Sponsor
I wanted to let you know what a nice job Dr. [Donald] Garcia’s [FutureSearch Clinical Trial] site
has done in our adult ADHD trial. He is our highest recruiter by far! Very knowledgeable and
good work. He will be on our upcoming studies as you are aware.
