Testimonials
“I hope you have had a chance to see the press release announcing the positive results of our study. I wanted to take a minute to acknowledge all your hard work in getting us to this point! Establishing a professional relationship between a sponsor and a CRO with open communication and a shared sense of purpose can be difficult to achieve, but this relationship is critical to conducting a well-managed study that gives every chance for the drug to demonstrate success. In this case, your oversight of the project and ability to focus your team to meet, and in nearly all cases exceed, our aggressive timeline, is to be commended. Tammy, whenever I asked for information, whether it was about a status report, or a silly question about EDC, your response was prompt and professional. It is so refreshing to be part of a fully functional, well-integrated team. Again, thank you for your teamwork!”
“You guys are amazing. I want to thank you all on behalf of the company, but even more so, personally from me for an incredible job with the study. I signed up for this gig and immediately reached out to Abond for help with our data management for this device study. Right from the beginning you worked through a difficult, unfriendly EDC system and brought some sanity to the process. But what you all did in the last few weeks has been incredible. Just as a point of reference, our last patient evaluation was September. With your help, we had a clean database by early November, and started receiving the statistical output a day later. Not only that, but you provided all the supporting materials, data listings, and the raw dataset for submission ahead of schedule!”
“For the panel meetings, as I mentioned, we supported two sponsors. The stories are similar. Both devices were voted approved with conditions. For one of the meetings we were both present within the seating rows of sponsor support (sponsor staff, KOLs, and us), within the main room for panel discussion. I had a laptop on my lap running analyses. For the other panel, John was in the main room, I was in the “war room” watching the proceedings on a TV, and running analyses. For me, these two still rank as the most intense, high pressure, but most rewarding experiences I have had at Abond.”
