At EPINTEK, we provide professional clinical trial monitoring services to ensure the highest standards of quality, compliance, and data integrity throughout the medical device clinical trial process. As outlined in the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines for Medical Device Clinical Trials, monitoring is an essential component of any clinical study. Our experienced team of monitors supports sponsors in fulfilling regulatory requirements and maintaining scientific rigor across all trial phases.
Our monitoring services strictly follow the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) established by the sponsor and are designed to ensure that clinical trials are conducted in accordance with the protocol, applicable regulations, and ethical principles.
