Elite Edi?on: Europe's 5 Most Innova?ve CROs Pioneering Excellence I trials, adhering to ethical standards, and complying with regulations is essential. This calls for specialised expertise and a robust infrastructure, often provided by Contract Research Organisations (CROs). CROs are indispensable partners for companies seeking to navigate the complex regulatory landscape while staying at the forefront of innovation. Empowering Excellence in Cardiovascular Research n the rapidly evolving fields of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices, clinical research plays a pivotal role. Ensuring the integrity of clinical At CERC, we nourish diversity and inclusion, be it for our team, clinical project types, popula?on studied, or geography. We have many exci?ng projects underway. CERC was established in 2008 under the guidance of influential European and international leaders dedicated to advancing cardiovascular research. Founded by a team of seasoned clinical researchers led by Dr. Morice, their collective goal is to elevate patient outcomes and promote the prominence of European research. Their combined expertise fosters seamless collaboration with industry partners and fellow medical research teams, focusing on pioneering techniques, concepts, and treatments. Leading the charge in this field is the European Cardiovascular Research Center (CERC). This distinguished organisation, driven by a team of accomplished physicians, not only secures regulatory approvals but strongly emphasises addressing critical patient needs. With a focus on improving patient outcomes and advancing European research initiatives, it stands as a beacon of expertise in clinical research. Distinguished as a research institution with a wealth of clinical research experience, CERC stands apart, driven entirely by a team of dedicated doctors. Their commitment extends beyond regulatory compliance for new device approvals, as they actively address unmet patient needs within their trials. This unique approach sets CERC in a class of its own. With a vast network of over 450 high- quality recruitment centres, it provides invaluable guidance and logistical support for academic research endeavours. Founded by seasoned physicians with extensive clinical research experience, CERC is guided by a team of esteemed medical directors. Their vision was to establish a reputable, high-quality, dedicated CRO in Europe. Its objectives include strengthening European clinical trials and academic leadership, acting as a global CRO, and providing support for emerging scientific leaders. The centre boasts an impressive track record in regulatory guidance, trial design, global study management, monitoring, and core lab activities for pre- and post-market drug and device trials. CERC's Expertise and Solutions As a preeminent CRO, it offers a range of services in the field of cardiovascular research aimed at supporting clinical research related to cardiovascular diseases and facilitating the introduction of new treatments and therapies for patients. The services provided by CERC include: Strategic Planning: This initial step is crucial for the success of any trial. CERC carefully considers every aspect of the trial, including development plans, regulatory requirements, and trial timelines, to ensure its success in the shortest possible timeframe. Strategic planning guides the overall project management and budget and should be undertaken early on to establish a clear vision for the project. At the forefront of CERC's dynamic team is Marie-Claude MORICE, CEO and a visionary in cardiovascular research. Dr. Morice's exceptional accomplishments, like the G.O. Hartzler Master Operator Award she received at TCT 2014, testify to her remarkable work. Her innovative spirit and forward-looking approach continue to shape the field. Regulatory Submissions: Clinical research success relies on a strong foundation of regulatory mastery, navigating a labyrinth of diverse guidelines, standards, and country/region-specific requirements. Adhering meticulously to the required format isn't merely a formality; it's the key that unlocks the gateway to a favorable review. CERC stands as a committed partner to study sponsors, providing strong support from the nascent phases to the final submission, ensuring the study journey through the regulatory landscape is not just compliant but above all accelerated. As the organisation celebrates its 15th year, Dr. Morice's leadership remains instrumental in driving innovation and excellence in clinical research.
