Quorum Forum: January 2008
With the advent of 2008 upon us, all of us here at Quorum Review would like to take this opportunity to remind you of our new and exciting programs which are just around the corner! At the same time, we’d also like to refresh your memory with some of our tried and true services of which you may not even be aware.
New in 2008:
Quorum Review will continue to expand its offerings this year with the following programs:

- Faster turnarounds for Amended Approvals
- A New Phase I Team designed to focus on speed and flexibility

Markets Served/Major Products
As previously reported, Quorum Review is proud to announce that we now review clinical studies throughout North America. In August 2007, Quorum developed a North American Board that is able to review sites in both the U.S. and Canada. This makes Quorum one of only a handful of IRBs capable of reviewing studies throughout of North America. Quorum’s experienced boards are capable of reviewing:
- Multiple-site or Single-site Studies
- Studies of Any Phase
- Adaptive Trial Design
- New Drug Studies
- Bioequivalence Studies
- Medical Device Studies
- Observational (Registry) Studies
- Social-Behavioral Studies
Corporate Description
Quorum Review was founded in 1992 by a group of professionals with decades of experience in conducting clinical trials as well as in working with and for IRBs. They believed an IRB could strive to protect human participants without giving up a focus on customer service. Those ideas led to the development of Quorum’s core values:
- Ethical protection of human research subjects
- Customer service
- Continuous quality improvement
- Promotion of organizational capability
Quorum is really looking forward to 2008. There are many more exciting services and efficiencies planned for this year. We’re proud to continue to offer you increases in speed and efficiency without sacrificing the quality you have come to expect from Quorum Review. Happy New Year and we look forward to working with you and your organization in 2008!
