Virtual contract research organization (CRO)
The proprietary, web-based CRO program was deve- loped by Medicus Research (Northridge, CA). This system enabled researchers to enroll subjects through inclu- sionary and exclusionary dialogue and track and monitor progress by using survey tools and automatic prompts. Researchers virtually followed up with subjects re- garding completion of milestone events, adverse event reporting, non-compliance issues, and other study requirements.
