Figures cited from a ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep (API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET) and published bioaccess® country pages. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies. General information, not legal or regulatory advice. Confirm current ISP, ethics, and FDA rules with qualified advisers. We name only the facility strings and example NCT IDs those sources support. We do not invent a principal investigator. We do not claim Clínica Santa María Santiago as a bioaccess® client.
If you searched Clinica Santa Maria Santiago first-in-human, Santa Maria Chile clinical trial, Clinica Santa Maria CRO, or “go direct Clínica Santa María Santiago,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Clinica Santa Maria in Santiago, Chile, is a real named clinic string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the ISP file.
bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the clinic is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns ISP, Ethical-Scientific Committee, investigational import, insurance, ISO 14155 monitoring, and the FDA 21 CFR 812.28 package — plus the option to add Colombia or another Latin American country if this campus is not the only fit. Sponsors who skip the CRO and email the clinic still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.
This page is the named Santiago Santa María campus. It is not Clínica Alemana de Santiago (CMS 95750), not Hospital San Juan de Dios Santiago (CMS 95773), not Universidad de los Andes (CMS 95780), and not Centro Cardiovascular Colombiano Clínica Santa María in Medellín. Sharing the Santa María name across countries is not a merge key.
Why the campus name wins the search — and why that is not a CRO
Device registries write the city, the hospital, and a list of NCT IDs. They rarely write the CRO. On the 1 September 2026 ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM sweep (interventional studies; all years; complete dump), this campus sits here after filters:
Counts come from leftover unique strings after batch 18 (CMS 95782–95789 live) plus unique NCT IDs in /workspace/five-trials/ctgov-raw/all_interventional.jsonl (17497 studies; ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep, API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET; dump confirmed 1 September 2026). Alias strings are listed separately. We do not publish a unique-study union across alias strings. We do not invent a global CSV rank. We do not invent unpublished CMS IDs. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies.
- Clinica Santa Maria (Santiago, Chile) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=14; DEVICE n=0. Example NCT IDs: NCT03505723, NCT02769325, NCT00057720.
Cite canonical ALL n=14 and DEVICE n=0. Do not clone the Medellín Santa María string onto this slug.
Those are unique NCT IDs per facility string + city + country. They are not a count of first-in-human device programs bioaccess® ran. They are how a sponsor searching the hospital name lands on a campus without landing on an operator.
We cite the IDs as facility evidence. We will not invent a PI. We will not claim bioaccess® ran any of them. No live bioaccess® case-study page names this clinic as a client site.
That is the leak: a founder searching “Clínica Santa María Santiago first-in-human” finds ALL n=14 (DEVICE n=0) without finding ISP — and without landing on Clínica Alemana. A named Santiago clinic is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.
The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.
A named clinic can provide rooms, coordinators, institutional ethics calendars, and investigators who already appear on NCT rows. That is necessary. It is not sufficient for a first-in-human medical device study a U.S. board expects to survive FDA review.
What the clinic can typically do when a sponsor “goes direct”:
- Discuss investigator interest and whether a protocol can sit in an existing service line.
- Share institutional ethics-committee calendars and hospital research rules.
- Quote visit, staffing, and local procedure costs for the cases they will physically run.
What the clinic is not built to own for an investigational device:
- ISP. Instituto de Salud Pública (ISP) authorizes studies and investigational-device import in Chile. Live Chile blogs already put a typical ISP review in a band of about 30 business days. Commercial ISP registration (30–90 days) is a different file. An Ethical-Scientific Committee under Law 20.120 still has to sit. A hallway conversation on this campus is not that stack. We will not invent PAHO/WHO Level 4 standing for ISP. A hallway conversation at Santa María Santiago is not a Clínica Alemana file.
- Investigational import. Ethics letter, investigator’s brochure, and an importation permit — end-to-end work, not a PI email. See importer of record for clinical trial devices in Latin America.
- Clinical trial insurance. Required. We will not invent a campus-only premium here.
- ISO 14155 monitoring, EDC, SAE reporting, and the TMF. The site may run visits. The CRO runs the quality system the FDA will later ask about.
- The 21 CFR 812.28 package. Foreign data is eligible for FDA submission and review after GCP / ethics documentation. Eligibility is not clearance, and a site MSA does not produce it.
- Multi-country optionality. If enrollment or the indication later needs another Latin American country, a single-hospital MSA will not stretch.
Going direct to this campus is how you confirm a room. It is not how you open an investigational file.
How ISP actually works (the short version)
Use clinical-trials-chile. Instituto de Salud Pública (ISP) authorizes studies and investigational-device import. Live Chile blogs already put a typical ISP review in a band of about 30 business days. Commercial ISP registration in a 30–90 day band is a different file — do not put trial authorization and commercial registro on one Gantt labeled “Chile.” An Ethical-Scientific Committee under Law 20.120 still has to sit. We will not invent PAHO/WHO Level 4 standing for ISP on this page.
Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not ISP clearance. bioaccess® manages the file. That is CRO work, not site work.
All bioaccess® device protocols in this country are run under ISO 14155 and the Declaration of Helsinki. Data is designed to be eligible for FDA submission and review under 21 CFR 812.28 on a case-by-case basis — not a guarantee of clearance or approval. See OUS FIH and FDA IDE.
Do not smear the clinic
Clínica Santa María Santiago is a serious named Santiago clinic on the public registry. ALL n=14 is registry volume, not a punchline. Do not invent a DEVICE n. Do not invent a PI. Do not merge the Medellín Santa María string onto this campus. Use the site when the protocol fits. Hire the operator.
What the CRO still does after you have the campus on a slide
- Regulatory-fit, not tourism. This geography is sourced. One campus is not automatically the right room for every indication. bioaccess® still runs trials in Colombia and the rest of the platform.
- Protocol, IB, ICF, insurance, and the ISP / ethics packet.
- Importer of record and device accountability.
- Site activation that is more than a tour: contracts, training, investigational product, EDC, monitoring plan. Activate this campus only if it fits the protocol.
- ISO 14155 monitoring and the 21 CFR 812.28 narrative so the dataset is built for a later Pre-Sub, IDE, 510(k), De Novo, PMA, or HDE — eligibility, not a promise of FDA action.
The firm was founded in 2010. That is the operator layer around a campus string.
Colombia is still on the map
A site-name search sometimes arrives with a stale story that bioaccess® “left Colombia.” That is false. bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia. Always bioaccess® — local entity and office, Miami headquarters, INVIMA clocks in-country. The country page’s published comparison: Panama ethics 3–5 weeks vs. Colombia 4–6 weeks; per-patient $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K as published on clinical-trials-panama. We pick the country the device needs. The founder podcast is Global Trial Accelerators™.
Frequently asked questions
Can I contract Clínica Santa María Santiago directly for a device FIH?
You can try. The clinic can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your ISP applicant, importer of record, insurer, ISO 14155 monitor, or 21 CFR 812.28 packager. Contract the CRO, then let the CRO activate the site if the site fits.
Did bioaccess® run the NCT IDs listed here?
No public bioaccess® case-study page names this clinic. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.
Is this the same page as Clínica Alemana or Clínica Santa María Medellín?
No. Clínica Alemana is CMS 95750. The Medellín Santa María string is a different NCT campus in Colombia. This page is Clínica Santa María, Santiago only.
Is this Centro Cardiovascular Colombiano Clínica Santa María?
No. That is a Medellín NCT string. Same saint’s name is not a merge key.
Did bioaccess® run NCT03505723?
No. We cite it as facility evidence. We will not invent a sponsor or a PI.
Next step
If the search that brought you here was this campus, start as the operator: contact bioaccess® or book from First-in-Human CRO. Santiago siblings (do not merge): Clínica Alemana, San Juan de Dios Santiago.
