Essential, a specialized CRO means:

Using our unique therapeutic database coupled with our therapeutic experts, we help clients with clinical development planning. Our ability to optimally design protocols, predict screen fail and enrollment rates, and to provide clinical trial costs, can help clients meet or beat clinical development timelines.

Patient Recruitment is more than just advertising and adding sites. Not all studies are suitable for advertising and not all studies have the time to add sites. Essential has been successful in delivering patient recruitment solutions for over 1,100 trials. It's more than generating calls, we help clients and sites randomize patients into clinical trials.

No other CRO has gathered such a span of detailed study knowledge and information on over 4,500 trials in eight therapeutic areas covering drugs, devices, and nutritional products. This allows Essential to provide unmatched insight into feasibility, protocol design, study planning, site selection, patient recruitment, study management and completion.

Essential was founded in 1994 in the investigative site business. We have a mastery of site physiology and key elements required to successfully conduct clinical trials at the site level which has proven advantageous in site qualification and selection. Our effectiveness in building relationships between study investigators and sponsors helps sites succeed.

Outstanding customer satisfaction is our corporate mission. To support that mission, each Essential project has a member of Executive management as part of the study execution oversight. Our flexibility and executive oversight ensures your project is top priority and not treated as just another program.
