About Validcare

Validcare is the Performance-Based CRO delivering Real-Time Clinical Trials.

Since 2014: accountable contracting, fixed-price delivery, results focus — built for Sponsors, Sites, and Participants who measure clinical research by what gets done, not by what gets billed.

In April 2026, FDA announced the Real-Time Clinical Trials initiative — a public articulation that the six-decade-old data-flow architecture of clinical trials is ready to change. FDA's April 2026 announcement named the AstraZeneca TRAVERSE Phase 2 mantle cell lymphoma trial (with technical partner Paradigm Health) and the Amgen STREAM-SCLC Phase 1b small cell lung carcinoma trial as proofs-of-concept, with a pilot program selecting final participants in August 2026. Validcare is operationally aligned with the architecture FDA is piloting — not aspirational vocabulary, but the protocol-governed stakeholder access we have been delivering on the SmartSource™ Clinical Trial Platform for sponsors today.

The result, for sponsors: Source Data Collection at the point of care produces cleaner data at database lock, with significantly reduced site-based and remote Source Data Verification expense. The economic case is the sponsor budget.

What we believe

We believe the clinical trial process can be simplified for sponsors, sites, and patients.

Technology alone has never been a satisfactory solution for streamlining clinical trials. It requires breaking down data silos and engaging clinical operations teams in ways that deliver results faster and more reliably. That's why we built Validcare differently — combining optimized processes with the SmartSource™ Clinical Trial Platform to enable Source Data Collection at the point of care and protocol-governed stakeholder access, so each stakeholder sees what their role requires when the protocol calls for it.

Why we exist

To optimize clinical trial planning, execution, performance, and oversight—within budget and timelines.

How We Deliver

Real-time clinical trial execution producing cleaner data at database lock, reduced SDV expense, and an exceptional CRO experience for sponsors, investigators, and participants.

Who we are

Smart. Honest. Friendly. Critical-thinking. Problem-solving.
