Site Management Organizations (SMOs)

Site Management Organizations (SMOs) are companies that partner with researchers and pharmaceutical or biotech companies to help manage clinical trial sites. They handle tasks like finding and qualifying patients, coordinating with doctors, ensuring compliance with regulations, and managing logistics. By doing so, SMOs streamline the clinical trial process at specific locations, making it more efficient and organized. They serve as a bridge between sponsors and clinical sites, ensuring trials are conducted properly and data is collected accurately, ultimately helping bring new medical treatments to market more effectively.
