Contact Our Team Our Clinical Surveillance Monitoring Keeps Your Trial on Track The Syneos Health CNS Business Unit is the home of our unparalleled Clinical Surveillance and Training (CST) team, a powerful and specialized business center dedicated to subject and data quality. We ensure data integrity with our specialized in-house Clinical Surveillance and Training (CST) capability - the only one of its kind at a CRO. Research has demonstrated that not all subjects randomized into mental health clinical trials actually meet the rigor of selection that the sponsor intended. High rates of protocol drift, whether they are due to misinterpretation of complex protocol criteria or failure to comply with more straightforward requirements, translate to a study population that provides uninterpretable, non-actionable data. Our Clinical Surveillance and Training offering is our integrated solution for enrolling the right study subjects in your trials. This global team consists of doctoral-level clinicians and dedicated project managers who conduct holistic, collegial and culturally sensitive eligibility reviews to ensure on-protocol subject selection. The ever-increasing complexity of CNS research demands unprecedented diligence at the site level, even as budgets get squeezed. Answers based on unambiguous and trustworthy data are crucial to achieving commercial success.
