Amicis Research Center
Fostering Enthusiasm, Motivation, and Empathy in Clinical Research

Let’s say a pharmaceutical company has developed a new medication that they believe could help treat a certain condition. Before it can be approved by regulatory agencies and made available to the public, it must undergo clinical trials to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Clinical research is essential for advancing medical knowledge and improving alternative patient care options, and many physicians and medical facilities want to enroll qualified patients for trials that match their needs.

Unfortunately, physicians and medical facilities lack the full depth of knowledge about the more specific details of being involved in clinical trials, such as risks and benefits, research methods, procedures, and process. They would need to manage the logistics, i.e., provide the necessary experienced personnel, clinic/facility, equipment, regulatory submissions, and ensure that the trial is conducted in compliance with local and federal requirements.

Physicians and medical practices can overcome this knowledge gap by partnering with an integrative clinical research organization that integrates resource and material usage, leverages new technologies, and embraces innovative approaches to advance clinical trials..

Amicis Research Center (ARC) is a leading independent integrative clinical research organization that implements clinical trials in medical practices and research centers to drive the clinical research industry forward. ARC’s corporate office is located in Santa Clarita, CA. All of their 10 research sites span throughout California.

ARC increases access to clinical research trials, offers research-specific experienced personnel and equipment, and manages every managerial detail of the entire trial process to make it seamless and easy for clients. The company works diligently to confront potential weaknesses and deficiencies in the clinical research sector with its mantra of enthusiasm, motivation, and empathy. With it, ARC helps encapsulate the clinical and business aspects of their credo into every trial and collaboration they undertake.

“As a research company, we value sticking to the fundamentals of being a professional, which focus on quick turnaround times, continuous diligence, and an attempt to handle every issue with a sense of urgency. It is our duty and responsibility to get things done.” says Tyrone Rosales, a Business Developer and CEO at ARC.

ARC handles all aspects of clinical research which include: site administration and organization, physician recruitment, study procurement, training and education on clinical research technology and patient enrollment. ARC shoulders the responsibility and commitment to promptly address any profound issues in the clinical research industry.

It achieves this with the help of its competent and confident administrators, associates and researchers—the key components of ARC. The company has started a research academy where it brings in individuals interested in learning more about the industry, provides them with tools and resources through a training course, and instructs them on all aspects of research. The clinical operations team has developed various courses that inexperienced physicians can take to learn the basic principles of clinical research.

“We place significant emphasis onsafety and interest of the underserved community members. That’s what makes us unique and propels us in clinical research,” says Veronica Rosales, a nurse practitioner and investigator at ARC.

This level of patient-centricity is at the heart of what ARC offers. Many patients tend to opt out if they are unsure of what they are getting into, which is why each enrollment begins with a clear explanation to the patient that outlines the clinical trial’s purpose, expectations, the type of medication involved, and potential side effects. In addition, it is exceedingly difficult for a patient to have complete security and safety throughout the clinical trial if doctors are unaware of their duties and responsibilities. As a research company, ARC considers it their duty to educate and inform new physicians about FDA requirements as it continues to develop and integrate them into its network. It also teaches the researchers conducting clinical trials how to interact with patients, as well as the terminology and other concepts that define their roles and responsibilities.

“We always strive for a patient-first mentality when it comes to clinical research awareness, as well as any type of alternative medication and education. I would like to emphasize the importance of placing the needs and interests of patients at the forefront of clinical research, alternative medicine, and education. This patient-centric approach recognizes that patients are the ultimate beneficiaries of medical research and should be empowered with information to make informed decisions about their health,” says Paramdeep Singh, MD, a business development manager at ARC

“ARC's patient-first approach and commitment to education and innovation make us a leader in the clinical research industry. By partnering with medical practices and providing experienced personnel and equipment, ARC helps advance medical knowledge and improve patient care while addressing potential flaws in the clinical research industry. In addition to a patient-first mentality, the Business Development team also focuses on creating opportunities and execution of those opportunities,” says Zander Minano, assistant manager business developer.

With a rich history of stellar work experience and philosophy that inspires confidence, ARC is proud to help like minded care takers improve patient care by making clinical research more accessible. By bringing trials to medical facilities and physicians’ practices, it eliminates the burden and risk to patients, while empowering care takers to apply their experience to deliver better care.
