Internal Medicine Research Associates, Inc. (IMRA) is an independent clinical research site specializing in outpatient Phase II through IV clinical trials. IMRA manages and coordinates clinical studies for the pharmaceutical industry that involves testing of new pharmaceutical, biological and medical devices on human volunteers. We work with physicians who are experienced in their field of medicine to coordinate volunteers who are interested in participating in the development of new drugs and treatments. IMRA has a commitment to the ethical conduct of clinical trials in which protection of human subjects is first and foremost. IMRA prefers to utilize central institutional review boards (IRBs) affiliated with the trial. This streamlines the regulatory processes associated with the trial which enables Internal Medicine Research Associates to expedite screening, enrollment, management and completion of the trial in an efficient manner.
IMRA demonstrates a strong commitment to quality research through SOP and protocol adherence, compliance to the International Conference of Harmonization Good Clinical Practices (ICH-GCPs) and the FDA Code of Federal Regulations. IMRA SOPs are reviewed regularly for continued quality and are updated for compliance annually. (Note* IMRA SOPs are available for inspection upon request during site qualification or monitoring visits). IMRA staff and physicians are experienced clinical research professionals who understand the requirements and necessity of participation with investigator meetings, providing appropriate oversight and involvement for the trial and accessibility during site monitoring visits.
Our physicians each maintain a private practice and have frequently cared for multi-generations of families. This enables IMRA to access a large population of subjects that have long-standing, patient-physician relationships. The benefit for the customers with which we work is to provide non-transitory, quality subject populations from a variety of demographic and socio-economic backgrounds to enroll in clinical trials. The physicians know their patients well, are able to readily identify subjects and have the comfort level of conducting one-on-one discussions when presenting trials and managing retention. The research coordinators at the center include Registered Nurses, Registered Dieticians, Registered Respiratory Therapists, Registered Pulmonary Function Technologists and Certified Cardio-graphic Technologists which are ACLS certified, experienced in regulatory processes, electronic data entry, clinical trial management and IATA trained. When eligible, through structured training and experience, research coordinators are encouraged to become Certified Clinical Research Coordinators. The therapeutic areas of interest at IMRA include (but are not limited to) cardiology, endocrinology, pulmonology, rheumatology, neurology, infectious disease, urology, gastroenterology, obesity, sleep disorders and wellness management.
