    Clinical Trials
    TAMM Net has been an integral and vital partner in our efforts to conduct clinical trials, obtain FDA clearances, and understand reimbursement for interventional pain management. They interacted with FDA to gain direction for clinical trial, gain approval for an IDE in 30 days. Additionally, they authored and submitted a successful 510 (K). TAMM recruited key opinion leaders to serve as principal investigators on pivotal trials, for which they wrote the protocols, in the military and private settings. They successfully negotiated very reasonable fees with the Henry Jackson Foundation and Brentwood Biomedical Institute. They help us refine our training agenda and identified quality cadaver labs. Then, they helped staff and manage those training sessions. I am pleased to recommend TAMM Net without reservations for any of these services. They bring top-notch capabilities and integrity to each project, which is why they continue to be a valuable partner after five years.

Our Process Ensures Predictable Outcomes

A multi-step process ensures we learn all we can about your needs and provide consistent, high-quality product.

Discovery and Requirements

8-12 step process: It is vital to take the time and effort required to completely capture the knowledge you have about your product and therapeutic area. Asking the right questions at this stage is critical for helping to prevent needless expenditures and inefficiencies. When we perform claims analysis there are many different databases from which to collect claims data. By asking our clients detailed questions about the purpose of the analysis and their knowledge of where the procedures are performed and by whom, we can propose the most appropriate resources.

Planning (GAP Analysis)

11-18 step process: For a recent cellular therapy client, performing a gap analysis was critical in their initial fundraising. By identifying exactly what additional information was needed to obtain an IND, they presented successfully to investors. Reimbursement is its own strategic morass. By creating an overall portfolio clinical development plan, we can anticipate any resistance that may be brought by medical societies or payers. For a client in a very competitive space with huge existing competition, this enabled us to plan a sequential new coding strategy to minimize resistance.

Implementation & Execution (Clinical Development Plan)

9 step process: A carefully laid plan leads to a systematic execution and the ability to adapt when regulatory bodies change their minds. Our internal processes ensure that execution is both accurate and timely.

Delivery

9-18 step process: Delivery is another dialogue. We typically deliver a draft to ensure that we are capturing everything in the statement of work. Once all parties agree on the draft final versions are produced. "TAMM Net has been a valuable partner helping us navigate reimbursement and regulatory.

We continue to work with TAMM Net because of the professionalism and effectiveness they bring to each task." --Susan Babcock

Close & Continuation

6-8 step process: We engage with our clients early in the development process and stay connected after any project is done. For most of our clients, our engagement is an ongoing partnership. We want to make sure that if there are any questions about our work, we are there to answer them as they arise. Of course, this also leads to many referrals, for which we are grateful.
