What is Interspond?
Founded in 2003, Interspond operates as a Trial Management Organization, building upon a business model established by its founder, Kathy S. Cox, who pioneered one of the industry's first TMOs in 1996. The company specializes in identifying clinical trial opportunities for research sites and streamlining the study start-up process. Interspond collaborates with multi-therapeutic sites nationwide, recently expanding its hybrid model to include exclusive business development services for a network of neurology, rheumatology, and ophthalmology sites. For sponsors and CROs, Interspond provides substantial value by rapidly identifying qualified sites for Phase 2 through 4 studies, managing the execution of Confidentiality Disclosure Agreements (CDAs), feasibility questionnaires (FQs), pre-study site visits (PSSVs), regulatory document submissions, and contract/budget negotiations. The company also manages site payments and reconciles study finances.
