Critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
At Pinnacle Clinical Research, performance is more than a promise — it’s a measurable standard. Pinnacle is the proven partner you can trust to execute with excellence, precision, and integrity.
Expedited Study Startup
Our streamlined internal processes, experienced regulatory team, and proactive communication allow us to consistently activate trials in under 30 days or faster as external engagements allow. We prioritize startup timelines to minimize delays and get trials enrolling faster.
TAT and 7-10 days Receipt to Execution
We operate with a centralized contract and finance team that manages a single budget and contract for all site locations. This allows us to rapidly review and execute agreements, eliminating redundant back-and-forth and ensuring predictable timelines allowing us to achieve a 48 hour turnaround time on initial response and 7-10 business days from receipt to execution.
from activation to first patient screened
Our active patient databases, pre-screening workflows, and engaged community relationships enable us to screen our first patient immediately, ideally the day after activation green light. Sponsors benefit from immediate momentum in enrollment.
Global enrollment for MASH studies
Our team has a proven track record in metabolic liver disease, regularly ranking among the top global enrollers for MASH trials. We combine targeted outreach, diverse patient populations, and clinical expertise to exceed enrollment goals.
Retention rate across Longitudinal trials
Patient retention is critical to study success. While retention rates are well known to be protocol dependent, our sites have a history of maintaining retention rates from 70% to 90%+ through culturally competent care, bilingual support, convenient scheduling, and strong patient engagement strategies throughout the trial lifecycle.
