Our organization brings 20 years of experience in clinical research, approximately 350 trials started, and two (2) free-standing clinical research sites in central Connecticut. Each site has affiliations with many medical groups within their communities. Our relationship with physicians and volunteers allows us access to over 75,000 patients and a variety of healthy and special populations within 15-20 miles of our Waterbury and Hamden locations.
Each site has easy access to major interstate highway access. Combined, the Waterbury and Hamden locations have a catchment area of 500,000+ people.
Our Waterbury, Connecticut clinical research site, known as Chase Medical Research, covers over 6,500 square feet of space, multiple exam rooms with three monitor areas, and conference rooms. Our locations are equipped with large waiting rooms, WiFi, TV, and private areas for subjects with extended daytime stays, to maximize patient satisfaction. Recognizing each trial has different visit time requirements, our main clinical location has the ability to handle early morning, evening, and weekend visits.
Our Hamden, Connecticut clinical research site, known as CMR of Greater New Haven is located on the third floor of a medical office building and is adjacent to a primary care practice, Internal Medicine of Greater New Haven, LLC . This group works closely with our research site providing investigators and access to a large database of potential subjects. This facility has the ability to handle early morning, evening and weekend visits.
The Sponsors and CROs who have chosen us for clinical trials have learned to trust us. We only accept clinical trials where we know we can succeed.
Over 4,000 feasibility questionnaires have been completed during the past 20 years.
Our feasibility evaluation process starts with due diligence by our experienced Medical Director and Director of Clinical Operations. With their vast knowledge in assessing the quality of protocol design, they determine how effectively we can meet the needs of the Sponsor. They consult with our affiliated physician specialist network and have the physician’s relevant patient clinical data analyzed to ensure our potential subject population matches the needs of the particular trial’s protocol. We use real-time data.
We respond to inquiries within 24 hours, expressing our interest. Questionnaires are then promptly reviewed and responded to with the time frame provided by the Sponsor or CRO.
With real-time data, we provide realistic subject enrollment numbers to ensure all parties are satisfied with our results.
We recognize that ‘turnaround time’ is important during the start-up phase of the clinical trial and pride ourselves on meeting the time requirements. Hence, our activation starts as soon as the Award Letter is received:
Clinical Research Contracts and Budgets:
The complexity of budgets varies widely by the protocol’s design. We carefully review budgets and compare them to the protocol as this is our first opportunity to clearly see everything that will be involved in performing the clinical trial.
A straightforward trial budget will have an initial response from us within three (3) business days. A more complex trial may require about seven (7) business days so as to allow for consultation with physician specialists and to allow for our contracts and budget staff to obtain clarification from the Clinical Research Coordinators on the study.

Familiarity and Training on Protocol:
We recognize that familiarity with a clinical trial requires back and forth discussion amongst the site’s team assigned. We supplement the Sponsor’s formal training with dialogues amongst the team–subject recruiters, clinical research coordinators, and Principal Investigators (“PIs”). Obstacles are discuss and strategies developed to find the right candidates.
