Neurology CRO are very complex. The team at PharPoint uses the following key considerations along with extensive industry expertise to successfully manage and monitor neurological studies for our clients.

Understanding Neurology CRO and neurological examinations

More than just a therapeutic experience, partnering with a team that has an overall understanding of neurological conditions, clinical assessments, IP administration and how it all relates can help add valuable insights to the study. This requires an understanding of potential subject responses to clinical trials and their relationship to adverse effects.

For example:

Does the study condition show hypersensitivity (such as MS or lupus)? How might this affect the response to injected IP?
How might cognitively impaired patients respond to imaging—such as being placed on an MRI?
Does your study require blinded or unblinded evaluators for subjective evaluation?

Ability to secure the right resources and expertise to facilitate the flow of study information

Neurological studies, like many others, are often very complex and can contain vast amounts of study information and study partners involved. Is your neurology CRO able to properly facilitate this information flow?

At PharPoint, we focus on suitable vendors and high-performing sites, and ensure adequate setup time. Through repeated testing, we ensure that everything works as it should. We also assign study team members who can only devote time to ensuring a continuous flow of information, with the ability to respond when needed to a changing environment.

Proper screening, inclusion and management of any additional teammates the study may need is critical.

By using a best-in-class model, sponsors can ensure that the right contractors—the most qualified, efficient, and experienced-are selected for the job. These teammates are usually specialized experts in what they do and help define clinical endpoints in neurological studies.

Considerations for Carefully Collecting Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs)

Pain, quality of life, and impact on daily activities are patient-reported outcomes that are nearly universal for neurological studies.

Neurological conditions affect how you perceive and experience sensations such as pain, sense of smallness, vision, etc. With such a reliance on PRO, it is important to thoughtfully consider the best way to collect data. Consider the patient population: will electronic or paper PROs be the best approach for your particular study?
