“I was thrilled to learn that we were able to significantly reduce the ProHer multi-centre study’s authorization time thanks to CATALIS’ FAST TRACK evaluation service. In a world where patient recruitment is competitive, the opportunity to join forces with our institutions to speed up our timeframes means that canadian patients have the opportunity to access innovative treatments through our clinical trials. We are working to achieve better outcomes for even more patients, and the FAST TRACK evaluation service is an essential component which allows us to fulfill our organization’s ambition.”

- Christina Archer, Former Clinical Operations Portfolio Leader, Hoffmann-La-Roche

“Our first experience with CATALIS’ FAST TRACK evaluation service was a huge success. For a Phase I trial in oncology, we reduced our average launch time by two-thirds and attained two global ‘firsts’: the first site to be launched and the first preselected patient! We look forward to future victories and even faster launches with CATALIS.”

- Stéphanie Veyrun-Manetti, Sanofi Canada General Manager, Specialty Care and Country Lead, Canada

"Without significant involvement in clinical research (projects, awareness, recruitment, funding), no innovative remedy can be developed and make a real difference in the lives of people with the disease. The last treatment was approved by Health Canada more than 15 years ago."

- Nouha Ben Gaied, Director of Research and Development - Quality of Services for the Federation
