We conduct structured site evaluations to determine the eligibility of facilities for initiating or continuing research studies. Our assessments are designed to verify that candidate sites meet the infrastructure, personnel, and regulatory requirements established by study sponsors, ethics committees, and international research standards.
Pre-initiation site assessment
Prior to study commencement, Lomic Services performs comprehensive site feasibility assessments including review of facility infrastructure, patient or subject population availability, personnel qualifications, laboratory capabilities, and existing regulatory approvals. Findings are documented in standardised assessment reports submitted to sponsors and institutional review bodies.
Eligibility criteria verification
We verify site compliance against protocol-specific eligibility criteria, including staff training status, equipment calibration records, and adherence to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) or equivalent standards. Sites are scored against objective benchmarks, and a formal recommendation is issued regarding study initiation or continuation.
Ongoing re-qualification
For long-term studies, Lomic Services conducts periodic re-evaluation of sites to ensure continued eligibility. This includes tracking changes in staffing, infrastructure, or local regulatory requirements that may affect a site’s ability to maintain protocol compliance.
Primary audience: Clinical research sponsors, contract research organisations (CROs), academic research institutions, and funding bodies operating multi-site studies in Nigeria or across Africa.
