Who We Are

We are a Site Management Organization whose sole purpose is to support the successful outcome of clinical trials for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. Our goal is to earn the recognition as a company that provides our customers with unparalleled service, responsiveness, and results. We continually strive to be the finest resource for you and to ensure that we satisfy your specific and unique needs.

SMO-USA, Inc. was created in 1997, and in this short period of time, has conducted over 600 different clinical trials. Our network of highly qualified, capable, and enthusiastic Investigators now number in excess of 3,500 physicians representing virtually all specialty areas. It is not just the strength and commitment of our Investigators that is the foundation of our success, but the experience and dedication of the Clinical Research Coordinators assisting these physicians in the preparation and conducting of these trials.

We are supporting members of the Drug Information Association and the Association of Clinical Research Professionals. We conduct our business within the Code of Ethics promoted by these organizations.

What We Do

We present qualified, pre-screened, Principal Investigators for participation in clinical trials in virtually any specialty area.
We have developed effective and stable relationships with many highly experienced, qualified and enthusiastic Clinical Investigators and Clinical Research Coordinators throughout the United States. This includes single practitioners, large single and multi-specialty practices, physician networks, hospital based physician's, and academic medical centers. All of the Investigators within the SMO-USA, Inc. network have been evaluated to ensure they not only are qualified to conduct clinical trials, but have the patient population and administrative capabilities to properly conduct it. They must meet specific minimal standards before being included in the network.  We only present those Investigators meeting the specific selection criteria outlined by the Sponsor or CRO. This eliminates a significant amount of time and expense when attempting to qualify, enroll, and initiate a site.

We ensure timely and accurate regulatory board submission and data collection
All sites have dedicated, full time, and experienced clinical research coordinators to ensure the prioritized and accurate submission of regulatory documents, appropriate site orientation/initiation, patient recruitment, screening and enrollment as well as the collection of clean and accurate data. Our own internal management and quality assurance practices further assures that tasks are completed quickly and accurately and any problems that jeopardize the success of the study are quickly identified and resolved.

We provide access to a large patient study population
Prior to us presenting an Investigator for study participation, we assess the patient population from which study subjects will be drawn to assure the increased likelihood of enrollment goals being met. Although we believe that carefully orchestrated advertising can assist in meeting enrollment goals, we firmly believe that the site must have the patient population or internal referral base from which to enroll patients.

We see advertising as an adjunct to our own internal efforts...not the primary method of subject enrollment. SMO-USA, Inc. also maintains an aggressive volunteer subject recruitment program to assist the sites in enrollment efforts. We are pleased to report that SMO-USA, Inc. sites consistently perform above average in enrollment, and have, on many occasions, been recognized as national top enrollers for a myriad of studies.

We provide ongoing and effective communication between Sites, Investigators, and Customers
The cornerstone of any successful clinical investigation is ongoing support and communication between all parties. Because of our commitment to the successful outcome of every study in which we participate, an internal Project Manager is assigned to each study to ensure that communication is maintained and that the study receives the full attention it deserves until completion. There are undoubtedly numerous variables and situations that arise during the conduct of a study that could compromise it’s outcome, and this demands a professional with expertise, strong problem solving skills, and attention to detail to overcome those obstacles. We provide that experience.
