The collaboration is part of PhaseWell’s initiative to increase participation in clinical trials by linking community practices and research sites across the US.
The company operates a network of clinical sites that support trials ranging from Phase I to Phase IV, with a focus on therapeutic areas, including oncology, central nervous system, and cardiometabolic diseases.
Across its network, PhaseWell reports having completed over 2,285 clinical trials and contributed to more than 195 therapy approvals.
PhaseWell Research chief financial officer Roberto Ramirez said: “The Latin Clinical Trial Center exemplifies exactly what we look for in a PhaseWell partner. Dr Sariol, Anmari Ferrer, and their team have built one of the most respected and trusted research sites on the island, one defined by scientific rigour, authentic patient engagement and retention, and a consistent ability to deliver high-quality data across complex protocols.
“Their cardiometabolic depth directly strengthens one of our core therapeutic pillars, and their reach across immunology, infectious disease, and pulmonary indications meaningfully expands PhaseWell’s capabilities.”
Dr Sariol said: “Joining PhaseWell opens a new chapter for our team and for the patients we serve. We have worked meticulously to bring the most innovative clinical trials to Puerto Rico and to ensure that diverse, multicultural community patients have a seat at the table in the development of tomorrow’s therapies.
“PhaseWell shares that commitment. This partnership gives us the infrastructure and national reach to do even more, while staying true to the values and the community that have always been at the centre of what we do.”
