Patient Recruitment
Patient Recruitment
Our large, pre-screened patient database gives us a strong foundation to support recruitment across a broad spectrum of nephrology studies. We have the tools and strategies to find qualified participants quickly. And with a nearly 37% diversity rate, our outreach efforts align with FDA guidance on inclusive enrollment, which is especially important for conditions like CKD that disproportionately impact minority populations.
Kevin Schroeder, MD is RDI’s resident nephrologist and principal investigator. His group nephrology practice has 19 providers, offering a core base of eligible subjects for trials.
Patient Management
Patient Management
Managing long-term studies in nephrology requires sustained participant engagement. With personalized communication, flexible visit scheduling, and free transportation services—among other conveniences—we help patients stay enrolled, undergirding our 97% patient retention rate.Data Collection
Data Collection
At RDI, clinical data is entered into our EDC system the same day it’s collected, giving sponsors real-time visibility into site performance. eSource is used to facilitate remote monitoring of patient and EDC data to further enhance sponsor insights. With extensive experience leading hybrid and decentralized trials, we help reduce patient burden, extend study reach, and keep trials moving forward without compromising data quality or compliance.Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory Compliance
Nephrology trials often involve complex therapeutics, including biologics and investigational devices for dialysis or renal function monitoring. Our team is skilled at managing these complexities, maintaining protocol compliance, timely submissions, and adherence to ICH-GCP standards. We offer full support from site initiation to close-out.Highlights of our extensive nephrology trial expertise
