Summit Clinical Research is an Integrated Research Organization founded in 2018 to advance clinical trial execution. Our journey began with a challenge from sponsors to apply the successful tactics that made the research facility, directed by Dr. Stephen Harrison and Gail Hinkson, the leading enroller of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) studies worldwide, all while consistently adhering to study timelines and quality standards. Gail and Dr. Harrison developed a proven model for overcoming the challenges of MASH research. With a vision to help other research sites implement efficient processes and mentor principal investigators (PIs) and research staff on the intricacies of MASH protocols, they established Summit Clinical Research, launching with fifteen network sites. Together, Summit and our expanding network of sites operate as an Integrated Research Organization, employing effective research strategies and logistical expertise to conduct high-quality studies – managing large patient volumes without compromising data integrity.
Building on this foundation, Summit revolutionized MASH trial execution and continues to support research sites in achieving unparalleled success. We are led by a team of industry experts and fueled by a passion for advancing medical science. Our network of research sites has grown from the initial fifteen locations to well over 100 sites across nine countries, and we remain committed to guiding research sites to new levels of efficiency and effectiveness.
At Summit, we understand that each research site is unique, with its own set of strengths and challenges. That’s why our approach is personalized, collaborative, and tailored to meet the specific needs of each partner. By leveraging our extensive experience and industry insights, we empower sites to overcome obstacles, seize opportunities, and achieve their goals.
Join us on a journey of innovation, collaboration, and transformation. Together, we can define the future of therapeutically focused research and make a meaningful impact on the lives of patients worldwide. Welcome to Summit Clinical Research, where excellence meets innovation.
