Velocity Clinical Research, Inc.’s Post

Our sites in Leipzig, Germany and High Wycombe, UK, have recently relocated to larger, more accessible facilities. The moves enable us to accommodate a higher volume of patient visits and provide enhanced capabilities in purpose-built sites. Swipe through the slides below to get a glimpse of our new locations.

When people like you join a clinical trial, scientists may be able to uncover better ways to treat conditions that may affect you, your loved ones, and future generations. Velocity is now enrolling people of all ages for new and upcoming studies. Beyond helping advance medicine, you may also: • Learn about potential new medicines in development • Get study-related medical exams at no cost • Receive compensation for participating (available amounts may differ for each study) Each participant could bring us one step closer to a healthier future.

We’re thrilled to welcome Mike Zaranek as Chief Financial Officer. Mike brings nearly three decades of experience in the life-sciences industry in senior financial and corporate development leadership roles, having previously held roles at IQVIA and Science 37. He will direct the company’s financial goals and accounting, and advise on the Velocity's strategic direction. Paul Evans, President and CEO of Velocity remarked on the appointment, “Velocity has grown exponentially in the past three years since the GHO acquisition. That brings with it a different set of challenges to manage whilst ensuring we deliver on strategic goals. Attracting top talent from major organizations, like Mike, demonstrates the ambitious goals we have as an organization to scale, and scale for a purpose. Mike and his team are a strategic part of that and I look forward to working with him to deliver Velocity’s next stage of growth.” Read the coverage of this appointment on Yahoo Finance: https://lnkd.in/g4pRv8nF Join us in welcoming Mike!

Exciting news! Cognivue, Inc.'s FOCUS study results were just published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Velocity is proud to have supported the study by enrolling all of its participants — more than 1,500 subjects across 14 sites and 11 states. The enrollment objective was to amass a group resembling the racial, ethnic, gender, and educational makeup recorded in the 2020 U.S. census data. Velocity far exceeded the national averages, enrolling more than 37% of participants from underrepresented populations.

Raghu Punnamraju, Chief Technology Officer at Velocity, was recently interviewed by CIO News about applying a lean-value approach to our technical product management, engineering, and architectural strategies. Through the development of our VISION platform, and new frameworks that leverage LLMs, this article details how Raghu and our team in Hyderabad, India, are continuously delivering solutions to drive greater recruitment efficiency and site performance.

Last month, Velocity welcomed former Surgeon General Jerome Adams, MD, MPH to an internal presentation about the importance and direction of diversity in clinical trial inclusion, followed by a Q&A hosted by Paul Evans. In this discussion, Dr. Adams made the argument that increasing diversity among the participants of clinical trials isn’t just morally right, it’s economically better for all involved in the process. Illustrating his point, Dr. Adams explained, “It was always assumed you had to pick one or the other in clinical trials; speed or diversity. To me, that is a false narrative. If you wait until the end to think about diversity then yes, it will slow you down. But what we showed with Warp Speed, which was the largest clinical trial in history, is that even if you come in midway and make a concerted effort, you can get there without slowing down the trials.” Hear more from Dr. Adams on topics like the intersection between economics and health, increasing equity in healthcare, and balancing politics with health in clinical research. #HealthEquity #DEI #VelocityCARES #ClinicalResearch
