BioPharma Services Inc.

I was waiting as a volunteer for a study that would suit me better, and the recruitment team helped me a lot with it. All recruiting team members I communicated with were polite and professional, which indicates that Biopharma provides a proper training to its employees. At the same time, I would like to express special thanks to a volunteer recruiter Roshi (Roshanak) whose tremendous help and outstanding attitude allowed me to obtain a spot at the study I like. My best wishes and positivity in all endeavors to Roshi and Biopharmas team.

They have been paying cheaper and cheaper by the day. Clinical trials may have requirements for subjects to fast for 8 to 10 hours before dosing of trial medication. Check-in time usually is around 3pm. In order to do well in the check-in blood draw assessment, subjects are advised not to have breakfast. That means don't eat much after midnight the night before. So from midnight to 3pm check-in, is already 15 hours without food. The company used to offer a full dinner around 5:30pm and a snack of a sandwich around 8pm. After the pandemic lockdown is over, the full dinner has become a sandwich and the snack has become a small serving of yogurt. Many subjects have difficulty sleeping due to hunger. After that yogurt snack, subjects are required to fast in-house another 15 hours before the next serving of food. That is a total of 30 hours with only one sandwich and a yogurt snack in the middle. As subjects, we dared not tell anyone that we were suffering from headaches and dizziness due to hunger in fear of getting replaced by standby volunteers. When volunteers tell the staffs about this, the response is, we cannot do anything about this current study you are in but we will tell the people in-charge or nutritionist. These food planners has never improved. We can say they improved negatively. Temperature control is always in the hands of the staffs and how hot they feel in their laboratory coats walking around. Subjects are not allow to walk around after dosing. It is understandable that the staffs feel hot and subjects sitting down feels cold. Can the staff wear thinner fabric clothes so they are not getting too hot. On the dosing day morning, the temperature of the rooms were usually freezing cold. Is the expectation of room temperature around 22-24C too much to ask? Payment for a phase one clinical trial used to be between $5000-$7000 Canadian for a five-day stay. In the United States, phase one clinical trials are usually paying above US$10,000. At Biopharma, payment is now down to $1,300. Standbys used to get paid $350 for an overnight stay a couple of months ago but they are down to $250 now. At MDS in Montreal, standbys used to be paid $1,500 for a two-night stay. I write this to let people know how the standard of treatment of human rights have evolved. I hope this comparison is being made known to all.
