Gain Peace of Mind. Remove the Guesswork. Fill the Resource Gap.

 
Avoca’s Consulting Services for the design, development, and implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS) aims to help sponsors and CROs develop a culture of risk prevention rather than one of managing issues.

A proactive, risk-based approach ensures patient safety, improves data quality, provides data integrity, and increases inspection preparedness.

To be compliant with ICH E6 (R2), risk-based quality management for clinical trials is required. A QMS is a framework for all activities, including quality control, quality assurance, quality improvement, and the reporting of these activities within an organization.

Gain Peace of Mind

Over the past 20 years, Avoca has built a proven process to help sponsors and CROs drive efficiency in clinical trial execution. We developed a 12-component construct to facilitate comprehensive, robust gap assessments of existing QMS.

Remove the Guesswork

Using our construct, we help to ensure your QMS is compliant with current regulatory requirements (e.g., ICH E6 (R2)) and leading industry practices and standards.

Fill the Resource Gap

We alleviate time, staff, and other resource constraints that prevent compliance and preparedness assurance — allowing your team to focus on their core responsibilities. To simplify and streamline the successful implementation of your company’s QMS, we leverage the 1,000+ quality management and inspection readiness leading practices, tools, standards, and metrics developed and refined by the Avoca Quality Consortium (AQC).
