ClinRM ExpertConnect

Academic expertise, on industry timelines.

ExpertConnect brings academic and practicing specialist clinicians into a development program when their judgment is needed — pre-contracted with ClinRM, so the depth arrives in days, while the question is still live.

The model Pre-contracted expert panel Access in days, not months Every engagement documented

Why it exists

The right expert exists. Reaching them is the slow part.

The knowledge a program needs most often sits in academic medicine: clinicians who treat these patients every week, know where the care pathway actually fails, and can say whether a safety finding matters in the clinic — not only in the database. Industry needs that judgment at specific, usually urgent moments: a signal work-up, a DSMB seat to fill, an agency question with a clock on it.

Reaching one expert directly means identification, negotiation, conflict screening, fair-market-value benchmarking, and contracting — months of procurement for a two-hour consultation. ExpertConnect removes that wait: the panel is contracted, screened, and ready before any request arrives.

Pre-contracted panel

Specialists hold standing agreements with ClinRM before any request — credentials verified, terms already in place.

One agreement for the sponsor

You contract ClinRM once. After that, each expert is a request, not a procurement cycle.

Days, not months

A matched, conflict-screened shortlist typically lands within days of the brief.

Physician-scoped

A ClinRM safety physician frames each question before it reaches the expert, so the consultation starts at the real issue.

Where the panel is used

Deep subject-matter judgment, six ways in

From formal safety roles to advisory questions no database can answer.

Protocol & program advisory

Eligibility, endpoints, and standard-of-care assumptions tested against how the disease is actually managed.

DSMB & adjudication

Independent, conflict-screened specialists for Data Safety Monitoring Board membership and clinical endpoint adjudication.

Benefit–risk & regulatory

Therapeutic-area depth behind FDA and EMA responses, benefit–risk reassessments, and high-stakes safety positions.

Real-world care insight

Where the treatment pathway fails patients today: unmet need, treatment burden, and the gaps a label never shows.

Safety & signal review

Specialist reads on emerging signals, SUSARs, and adverse events of special interest, with the clinical context behind the case narrative.

Clinical & market resonance

Whether the medical story is landing — with treating clinicians, with patients, and with the audiences your field teams face.

How engagements are structured

Built to protect independence on both sides

ClinRM holds the agreements with the sponsor and with the expert. That structure is deliberate.

One contracting entity, both sides

Experts hold standing contracts with ClinRM; sponsors sign a single agreement with ClinRM. No per-expert paperwork, and a single documented record of every engagement.

Independence, screened and kept

Conflict-of-interest screening before every match. Because the expert is engaged through ClinRM rather than hired by the sponsor, the arm’s-length position a DSMB or adjudication role demands stays intact.

Fair-market-value honoraria

Compensation benchmarked centrally and applied consistently across the panel, with the documentation to show it.

Confidential by design

Consultations can run blinded in either direction — the program protected from the expert’s network, the expert’s identity protected until both sides choose otherwise. Confidentiality obligations sit in both contracts.

When a sponsor asks for a nephrologist on a Thursday, the answer should be a name and a time slot — not a contracting timeline.

How it works

Brief on Monday, expert by Friday

01

Send the brief

The question, the therapeutic area, and the timeline. A ClinRM safety physician — not a coordinator — scopes it with you.

02

Matched from the panel

A credentialed, conflict-screened shortlist from the pre-contracted panel, typically within days. Blinded where the engagement calls for it.

03

Consult, then document

A call, a committee seat, or a written review — concluded with a documented output that belongs in your safety file, not a page of notes.

The expert you need this week, not this quarter.

Tell us the question. If the right specialist is not already on the panel, we will say so.
