Subject Recruitment & Screening
Recruitment:
- We recruit from a pool of >6+million residents in the Greater Toronto Area and surroundings
- An active subset of 15,000+ subjects from a total database of 90,000+
- Clients can have access to a large and ethnically diverse subject pool. This allows LTR to recruit subjects rapidly and on-time.
- Prospective subjects are reached through a variety of media sources including advertisements in radio, newspapers, television and electronic media
- We utilize “Clinical Eligibility Subject Recruiting” (CESR), a comprehensive database to track recruitment, screening, participation status and histories, including demographic and medical information.
Subject Screening:
- All subject-screening activities are efficiently conducted in our screening center
- Prospective subjects undergo an informed consent process, during which they are informed of their rights and obligations and potential risks
- Prospective subjects are involved in a pre-study interview, complete medical history, physical examination, collection of study demographics, ECG and vital signs
- Prospective subjects are also tested for pregnancy, drugs of abuse, nicotine and alcohol for assessment of study eligibility based on the protocol requirements
- We are proud to have a local centralized laboratory provide the laboratory services for our clinical trials. The laboratory provides a quick turnaround of test results for blood chemistry, hematology, urinalysis for medical screening or other study specific requirements.
