Most Trusted CRO in Ophthalmology
For a decade, our core team essentially functioned as a site management organization (SMO) guiding sponsors through the innumerable hurdles and regulations associated with the successful execution of human clinical trials. The demand for high-quality, efficient, ophthalmology-specific guidance for clinical trial oversight then led us to establish a full-capacity, clinical-stage CRO.
Today, CTRG has over 120 cumulative years of ophthalmology-specific clinical trial experience at the site, sponsor and CRO levels, ranging from phase I-IV trials. Most of our members were research study coordinators for ophthalmology trials and therefore are equipped with deep knowledge and expertise extending far beyond the scope of a given protocol.
Ophthalmology Only
Formalized in 2019, our team is focused exclusively on clinical trials in the ophthalmic space, with a rich history of designing and coordinating ophthalmology-specific clinical trials. We are absolutely confident we know this space, and the clinical research players within it, better than any other CRO.
Our Mission
Be the most trusted, knowledgeable, effective and efficient independent partner for sponsors developing new pharmaceuticals or medical devices.
Bring decades of successful hands-on experience to bear on the development, coordination and completion of human clinical trials of all phases and sizes.
Ensure collection of the highest-quality data and ensure patient safety.
