CTO and Founder, Entac Medical Inc.

Based on a recommendation, I reached out to Clinical Research Strategies (CRS) to prepare a Breakthrough Device Designation submission for the FDA. The CRS team was very responsive, knowledgeable, efficient, and supportive throughout the submission process, and a Breakthrough Device Designation was granted by the FDA within 3 ½ months after first contacting CRS. CRS has also been involved in the development of key strategic research partnerships and collaborations with favorable traction. It has been very rewarding and productive collaborating with the CRS team, and I welcome the chance to work on new projects with CRS as these opportunities arise.

We learn such a tremendous amount from you. Thank you for sharing the resources on patient-centricity, real-world evidence and the FDA’s vision on digital health. Honestly, we learn more speaking to you for one hour than a day’s worth of research! We truly appreciate your advice from both an extensive clinical and market strategy perspective.

Your bid was the most detailed and quickly became the measurement with which all other competitors were judged. While some executives like a summary of costs, I respected the numbers you provided because they were real, and it showed you really considered the specifics about my device trial. And, you gave us pause to not fall in love with our own ideas surrounding enrollment rates.

Clinical Research Strategies (CRS) has invaluable insight into managing CROs for Sponsors, which includes their extensive experience in clinical research. They were able to help us detect what were discrepancies or unnecessary charges, and negotiate more favorable terms in our contract, ultimately saving us over more than a third of a million dollars.

Clinical Research Strategies has provided critical guidance for helping us understand the FDA approval landscape, develop our strategy through their Regulatory Pathway Assessment, and then helping us every step of the way with the logistics of obtaining FDA approval. They have decades of experience, and it really shows in their expertise and thoroughness. They strive to understand our unique needs and customize their offerings. This is my first time navigating the FDA approvals pathway and having consultants you trust is so important. CRS has provided quality guidance and made me feel supported every step of the way, and I am so grateful to them!
