Testimonials
Alzheimer’s Study SponsorGood afternoon Dr. [Omid] Omidvar, [CNS], I am writing to invite you to participate in a Phase IIb Alzheimer’s trial. You and your team were one of the top enrolling sites for the XXX Elderly MRD trial and we think that you and your team could be perfect for the trial.
ADHD Study SponsorDr. [Andrew] Cutler, Patti, and Florida Clinical Research Center staff have been wonderful throughout their work on our studies. The team exceeded their enrollment goal and closed the study with a remarkably low screen failure and early discontinuation rate. In addition, and the quality of their work on both studies has been exceptional – their source and CRF data have been clean resulting in cost and time savings for our monitoring and data management activities. Dr. Cutler has also been incredibly helpful by collaborating with our team on patient recruitment strategies, the appropriate use of our study diagnostic tool, and sharing his thoughts about future development work with the compound.
ADHD Study SponsorI wanted to let you know what a nice job Dr. [Donald] Garcia’s [FutureSearch Clinical Trial] site has done in our adult ADHD trial. He is our highest recruiter by far! Very knowledgeable and good work. He will be on our upcoming studies as you are aware.
Multiple Sclerosis Study CRODr. [Omid] Omidvar, [CNS], your pace of screening and randomizing patients over the last couple months is impressive. We need to clone your site J. Thank you.

Other sites were not close to meeting this deadline. Please share my gratitude with Dr. Hudson next time you speak to him. I know Adam put a lot of time into this and it should not go unsung. Thank you.
Insomnia Sleep SponsorDear Dr. [John] Hudson, [FutureSearch Trials of Neurology], I hope you are doing well. I was reviewing the XXX-sponsored trial enrollment numbers in my region, and was impressed with your enrollment numbers in the PSG study.
