FOMAT

Patient recruitment excellence

Clinical trials move faster when people hear about a study from someone they already trust. FOMAT runs research within real clinics and community practices so the right participants can join and stay in the study.

Recruitment inside everyday care

Research takes place in active clinics and community practices. Physicians and staff know the local population and our bilingual teams manage education, prescreening and scheduling in the language people prefer.

A central team connects database outreach, EMR searches, referrals, digital campaigns and community events, using AI tools so every new inquiry has a clear next step.

At a glance

  • Inquiry acknowledged in about thirty seconds
  • First outreach in less than one day
  • Visit availability usually within twenty four to seventy two hours

How we support people from Initial contact to last visit

Bringing people in

When someone shows interest

They hear about the study through their doctor, our database, a digital campaign or a community event that fits their condition.

We have a real conversation
A recruitment specialist explains the study in simple language, answers questions and checks if it makes sense for their health and daily life.
We confirm fit and book the visit
If the study is a match and they want to continue, trained staff review key criteria and offer visit options in the following days aligned to protocol requirements.
We get them ready to arrive

They receive clear directions, what to expect and information about time and any compensation or support so coming to the site feels simple, not stressful.

Want to know who stands behind this approach 

Helping them complete the study

One main contact
A patient liaison follows the participant through the visit schedule so they always know who to reach out to.
Reminders that fit real life
Calls, texts or emails are used according to each person’s preference, focused on what happens next and what they need to bring or plan.
Schedules that work around daily life
When the protocol allows it, visit times are arrange around work, school and family responsibilities so participation stays realistic.
Clarity along the way
Time, procedures and support are explained again before key visits so participants and caregivers can plan and feel confident about continuing.

Diversity and representative data

Every recruitment decision at FOMAT is shaped by diversity goals and real enrollment data. Our studies show higher participation from Hispanic, Asian, Black, American Indian, Alaska Native and Pacific Islander communities than typical United States trial averages, creating more representative datasets for decision making.

Phase I that moves fast

Dedicated Phase I Unit with trained teams and dedicated space ready for early phase studies and consistent participant support.

Phase II to III with everyday patients

Embedded outpatient research and central support so teams see consistent processes and reliable enrollment with real world participants.

Quality and compliance

Quality runs alongside operations through study execution to close out, with central quality and data teams reviewing activity while studies are active.
