Our model combines proactive risk prevention, continuous improvement, and advanced technologies to deliver excellence in every trial.

Our Quality Framework

  • Planning & Risk: Defining Critical-to-Quality (CtQ) factors and applying Risk-Based Quality Monitoring (RBQM).
  • Operational Control: Robust SOPs, strict Trial Master File oversight, and document control.
  • Audits & CAPA: Regular audits with thorough analysis and corrective/preventive action plans.
  • Continuous Training: Ongoing education aligned with evolving regulations and site needs.
  • Technology & Metrics: Centralized KPI dashboards and early-warning systems to ensure compliance and performance.

Result: A rigorous, technology-driven system that safeguards participants, ensures integrity, and drives efficient, reliable trials.

Equitable Access & Accelerated Recruitment

From an emerging country with underrepresented populations, we are committed to equity, autonomy, and respect.

  • A robust network of referring physicians
  • Public awareness initiatives through our non-profit foundation
  • A dedicated institutional communication agency

Result: Timely trial execution, reliable outcomes, and faster access to innovative therapies.

We design and execute a multichannel communication strategy that reinforces our scientific leadership, strengthens industry partnerships, and builds trust with patients.

For Patients

  • Digital: Blog, newsletters, social media infographics, short videos
  • Support: Secure patient portal, phone & WhatsApp assistance
  • Engagement: Quarterly webinars, monthly Q&A sessions
  • Tone: Clear, empowering, transparent, and appreciative

For Sponsors

  • Thought Leadership: White papers, case studies, and technical articles highlighting GCP capabilities and phase II/III results
  • Engagement: Specialized webinars and quarterly newsletters with pipeline updates, KPIs, and collaboration opportunities
  • Strategic Alliances: One-on-one meetings and virtual roadshows to present tailored proposals and accelerate study acquisition

Result: A communication ecosystem that connects science, industry, and patients through transparency, expertise, and trust.

Articular Foundation

Founded in 2009 at the request of the CER Medical Institute, the Articular Foundation works to make clinical research accessible, inclusive, and rooted in trust. Every initiative seeks measurable social impact and improved well-being, guided by the highest ethical and scientific standards.

Our Pillars

  • Social Inclusion: Free preventive healthcare campaigns for vulnerable populations.
  • Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Promoting participation of women, older adults, and minorities in clinical trials.
  • Education & Dialogue: Empowering patients through open discussions and training.
  • Ethics & Trust: Strengthening transparency, governance, and responsible communication.

Through these pillars, we transform science into a shared journey — where knowledge serves people, and people help shape the future of medicine.
