Purpose
The Iowa Diabetes Research Protocol Review Service supports Sponsors by providing a thorough and detailed review of clinical trial protocols. As a research center with over 17 years of experience in more than 230 diabetes, obesity, and related conditions trials, we understand the complexities involved in this process.
Many clinical trials require amendments to address clinical or operational issues, correct errors, or improve recruitment. The multi-disciplinary team at Iowa Diabetes aims to increase trial success by ensuring protocols are both feasible and effective. This service helps companies prepare their trials for success from the start.
Our goal is to optimize clinical trial protocols, reduce amendments, and prevent unnecessary and costly delays throughout the entirety of your clinical study.Our Expert Team
