Alpha CR Solutions

Clinical research consultancy headquartered in Johannesburg, Gauteng — serving sponsors and sites across South Africa and the African continent.

SAHPRA Expertise ICH E6(R3) SDR-First GCP Certified

A South African Clinical trials consultancy
Built for Precision

Alpha CR Solutions is a Johannesburg-based clinical research consultancy founded on the principle that regulatory quality and operational efficiency are not competing priorities — they are the same goal.

We bring together expertise in SAHPRA regulatory affairs, ethics committee management, clinical monitoring and GCP training to provide sponsors and sites with a single, accountable partner across the full trial lifecycle.

Our SDR-first methodology means data integrity is built into every site engagement from day one — reducing audit findings, protecting subjects, and accelerating the path to clean data.
