Gerald Finken:

Summary

My passion for the practice of pharmacy began immediately after I graduated from pharmacy school and learned all of the ways a pharmacist can positively influence a patient's life. For over 33 years, this passion and drive has motivated me to bring the practice of pharmacy into the clinical research sector. I have always challenged traditional clinical trial models and through new processes, innovative study designs, and patient counseling services, I have been able to revolutionize the way patients receive and take their medications in clinical trials.

With the mission of making a difference in the clinical supplies sector, I founded CSM in 1997 and grew the company from a one-person consulting operation, to a multi-million dollar organization with multiple locations and 100+ employees. In 2001, I created and launched the On-Demand packaging and labeling platform, an industry breakthrough enabling a flexible clinical supply chain to keep pace with breakthrough therapies, diagnostics, and technology by delivering patient-centric medication.

While working with sponsor companies and seeing first-hand the struggle of getting FDA approval, I launched CTRP® (Clinical Trials Research Pharmacist) services as a division of CSM. By piloting this services through CSM, we were able to prove that pharmacists counseling patients in clinical trials can improve compliance, adherence, retention, and more importantly, the overall quality of the studies. In 2014, I rebranded and re-launched the CTRP® service through Center Point Clinical Services, LLC.

Both Center Point and CSM are re-defining the way our industry conducts clinical trials with the overall strategy of finding innovative solutions to help companies decrease timelines, improve study outcomes, and reduce costs while improving the strategic quality in all aspects of patient-centric medication and care.

Interesting that there is no mention from Peregrine (yet) about the lawsuits vs CSM and access to all the full depositions in their entirety are being blocked.... we shall see...

This was from a previous post... and original thoughts...

IMO these two Finken and Schlecht had something to do with the outcome of the PPHM PII NSCLC clinical trial. I did some research a while back and found these patents.
