Clinical Research Services

THESYL provides functional services in clinical research, offering support from regulatory planning to the complete execution and management of clinical trials across all phases. We tailor our clinical and regulatory solutions to each client’s unique needs, providing flexible support at every stage of the project. Our capabilities include conventional, hybrid, and fully decentralized trial models.

While many research efforts in Africa focus primarily on infectious diseases, THESYL is committed to addressing the continent’s growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We emphasize research in areas such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, COPD, and conditions affecting the endocrine, blood, and immune systems, critical areas where Africa faces a growing yet underserved health burden.

Clinical Operations

Feasibility and Site Selection

We connect clients with experienced sites that meet their requirements in terms of experience and expertise, providing the right data quality, budget, and timelines, and sites with access to enough patients for enrollment performance. We understand the complexity and uniqueness of healthcare systems in Africa while still meeting global standards.

  • Site requirements/ Site specifications
  • Sites & Investigators identification
  • Site feasibility & Evaluation
  • Pre-study visits/Screening Visits
  • Site selection

Regulatory submissions

With complex and sometimes absent regulations in Africa, gathering all necessary documents based on specific country requirements is crucial for study timelines. At THESYL, we leverage our local expertise and know-how to navigate these complexities, ensuring our clients receive efficient and timely services.

  • Interpreting regulatory requirements
  • Preparing submission packages
  • Managing country-specific submissions
  • Submissions to Ethics Committees (EC)
  • Submissions to Competent Authorities (CA)

Site Management

Recognizing the pivotal role sites play in clinical study success, we build strong, trust-based partnerships with each site. Given the challenges faced by healthcare staff in African hospitals and health facilities, we are dedicated to easing these burdens with our comprehensive support and continuous oversight across all stages of the study.

  • Inception and Management of electronic Trial Master File (eTMF)
  • Prevision of EDC and eConsent through our Partners
  • Site training and support
  • Support in Patients enrollment, engagement and retention
  • Site management support and documentation
  • Ensuring regulatory compliance and protocol adherence

Clinical Monitoring

The study quality and effective enrollment require a strong collaboration between study sites and Clinical Research Associates (CRAs). Our monitors work effectively with sites to ensure that patient recruitment and study milestones are met. We offer various types of monitoring based on our clients' needs, including on-site monitoring, remote monitoring, centralized monitoring, and risk-based monitoring (RBM).

  • Risk-based monitoring strategies
  • Monitoring Plan
  • Conducting Site Visits
    • Site initiation visits
    • Interim (routine) monitoring visits
    • Close-out visits
  • Source data verification

Project Management

At THESYL, the Clinical Project Managers (CPMs) play a crucial role in overseeing the entire lifecycle of clinical trials. Responsible for initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, and closing projects, the CPMs ensure adherence to timelines, quality standards, and regulatory requirements. They develop comprehensive project plans, secure necessary approvals, and oversee site selection, investigator meetings, and training. Proactive risk management and regular communication with partners are integrated into every stage of the trial, ensuring potential challenges are addressed early and data integrity is maintained throughout the process.

Medical Writing

Our team of medical writers excels in collaborating with regulatory staff and other key professionals to produce a wide range of documents and reports tailored to meet client specifications. This includes the creation of Common Technical Documents (CTD), Study Protocols, Development Safety Update Reports (DSURs), and scientific publications.
