Pan-India Site Network · GCP Compliant

Site Management Organization India | Clinical Trial Support

Auriga Research operates as an integrated Site Management Organization (SMO) within our broader CRO capabilities, providing end-to-end clinical trial site support across India. Our SMO division handles site identification, feasibility assessment, investigator selection, regulatory submissions, Ethics Committee coordination, patient recruitment, study coordinator deployment, and ongoing site monitoring.

We maintain a qualified network of clinical trial sites across major Indian metropolitan areas — Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and Pune — spanning multi-speciality hospitals, teaching medical institutions, and dedicated clinical research units. Each site in our network has been assessed for GCP infrastructure, investigator qualifications, therapeutic area expertise, and patient population access.

Patient recruitment is where most clinical trials face delays. Our site management teams deploy proven multi-channel recruitment strategies including physician referral networks, patient database screening, community engagement, and digital outreach. We track enrolment metrics in real time and activate contingency sites when needed to maintain study timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Site Management Organization (SMO)?
A Site Management Organization (SMO) provides operational support to clinical trial investigator sites. SMO services include site identification and feasibility, investigator selection, regulatory and Ethics Committee submissions, site initiation, patient recruitment and retention, study coordinator staffing, source document management, and monitoring support. Auriga Research operates as an integrated CRO-SMO, managing both trial-level operations and site-level execution.
How does Auriga Research support patient recruitment for clinical trials?
Patient recruitment is often the most challenging aspect of clinical trial timelines. Our site management team uses a multi-channel approach including physician referral networks across India, patient database screening, community outreach in therapeutic-area-relevant populations, digital recruitment campaigns, and collaboration with hospitals and medical colleges. We track recruitment metrics weekly and deploy contingency plans when enrolment rates fall below projections.
What clinical trial sites does Auriga Research work with in India?
We maintain a network of qualified clinical trial sites across major Indian cities including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and Pune. Sites include multi-speciality hospitals, teaching medical colleges, dedicated clinical pharmacology units, and speciality clinics. All sites undergo feasibility assessment for investigator qualifications, patient population access, GCP infrastructure, and regulatory compliance before activation.
What is involved in clinical trial site initiation?
Site initiation involves regulatory document collection (1572 equivalents, CVs, lab certifications), Ethics Committee approval, investigational product shipment and accountability setup, source document template preparation, EDC training, GCP refresher training for site staff, and a formal site initiation visit. Auriga Research manages all of these activities as part of our SMO services, ensuring sites are fully qualified before first patient enrolment.
Can you provide clinical research coordinators for trial sites?
Yes. Auriga Research employs trained clinical research coordinators (CRCs) who can be deployed to investigator sites for the duration of the study. CRCs handle informed consent administration, study visit scheduling, data entry into EDC systems, source document completion, adverse event reporting, specimen collection coordination, and regulatory binder maintenance. All CRCs are GCP-trained and experienced in therapeutic-area-specific protocols.
