Quality Control Strategies Employed at SECCR:

We are not perfect, we make mistakes. We also have a strong, company-wide commitment to both minimize and learn from errors. Here are a few examples of those efforts:

  • Weekly face-to-face meetings of clinical staff with Site Director at all locations: reviewing all ongoing protocols, any protocol deviations, new SOPs or SOP revisions
  • Monthly meetings between lead CRCs and PIs with recorded minutes
  • All protocols and SOPs reside in our document management system for rapid access
  • Electronic regulatory documents and eConsents that ensure up to date training, cv’s and ICF versions
  • Satisfaction surveys of subjects after each visit (online, anonymous, staff outside of room during survey)
PIC-PNS INFUSION RM

Just like every other clinical research website, we are telling you that we’re very good at what we do. But don’t take our word for it…. Here are some of our subject survey results:

I waited LESS than 10 minutes in the waiting area before being placed in a room.
The room where my visit was conducted today was comfortable and clean.
All instructions provided were clear, and all my questions were answered.
The staff I encountered today were all kind and friendly.

Here are examples of what our Sponsor CRA’s tell us:

“SEC Clinical Research exhibits all the qualities sponsors and CRAs are looking for in a great site. I have worked with the PI and staff of the SEC Clinical Research over several years, and have always found them organized, responsive and enthusiastic about research trials! They are a pleasure to work with! “
“AL” RN, BSNExpert Clinical Research Associate, Novartis
“I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you …. for your hard work and dedication you have shown to our study .... During each visit your team has always been prepared and the documents ready for my review. Your source documents for your subjects are well organized and easy to review. Your staff conducts themselves in a professional and friendly manner. My greatest appreciation is to you and your staff for always being approachable on any questions or clarifications I may need.”
“HS”PCRA, Clinical Operations Clinical Research PPD, Part of Thermo Fisher Scientific
“I wanted to take a moment and recognize what a nice group of people work at SEC, and share how much I have enjoyed working with the entire team. Truly one of my favorite groups to work with. Dr. Middleton, you are definitely in my top 5 PIs of all time. Your commitment to research and excellence is incredibly refreshing and I could say many more nice things about you personally and professionally.”

Frequently asked Questions from Feasibility Questionnaires:

We have full-time APRNs at all our locations at all times during visits assisted by CRCs and RAs. We have a full-time regulatory document staff, recruitment department and a talented administrative staff for additional support. Research is all that we do.

Yes, at each site we have a double locked room used only for IP storage.  These rooms have a heating and cooling system, and there is continuous temperature monitoring of IP stored at ambient, refrigerated and frozen temperatures with an alarm that sends a cell phone alert for temperature excursions.

Both SECCR locations have refrigerated centrifuges for both routine blood processing and more specialized procedures like PBMC isolation. Both locations have Class 2 Biosafety hoods, and are IBC approved.

We are delighted to use Central IRBs.  We only use a local IRB of one hospital if there is any inpatient component to a study.

We move as quickly as the Sponsor allows.

No

Yes

With the exception of some legacy studies initiated with paper reg docs and source, we have completely switched to electronic regulatory documents and electronic source. We have more recently transitioned to electronic consents for more accurate versioning.
