Category: Preparing for First-In-Human Studies

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 ANVISA, 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 Federal University of Bahia Salvador as a bioaccess® client.

If you searched Federal University of Bahia Salvador first-in-human, UFBA clinical trial, Universidade Federal da Bahia CRO, or “go direct Federal University of Bahia Salvador,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) in Salvador, Brazil, is a real named university-campus string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the ANVISA file.

bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the university is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns ANVISA, CEP / CONEP, 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 university still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

This page is the named Salvador UFBA campus (alias includes Hospital Universitário Professor Edgard Santos / HUPES-UFBA). It is DISTINCT from live idor-regional-bahia-salvador-fih and nucleo-oncologia-bahia-salvador-fih. Sharing Salvador / Bahia is not a license to collapse them. UFBA is not IDOR Regional Bahia. UFBA is not Núcleo de Oncologia da Bahia.

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 the last live leftover-site batch 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.

• Federal University of Bahia (Salvador, Brazil) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=18; DEVICE n=3. Example NCT IDs: NCT01968512, NCT02152267, NCT07633444.

Cite canonical ALL n=18 and DEVICE n=3. Do not clone IDOR Regional Bahia or Núcleo de Oncologia da Bahia 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 university as a client site.

That is the leak: a founder searching Federal University of Bahia Salvador first-in-human finds ALL n=18 (DEVICE n=3) without finding ANVISA. A named university campus is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.

A named university 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 university 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 university is not built to own for an investigational device:

• ANVISA. Device investigations sit under RDC 837/2023 (dossier in Portuguese: IB, protocol, ICF, insurance, GMP evidence). A hallway conversation at this campus is not that dossier. A hallway conversation at UFBA is not an IDOR Regional Bahia file and is not a Núcleo de Oncologia da Bahia 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 ANVISA actually works (the short version)

Use clinical-trials-brazil: combined ethics + ANVISA typically 6–10 weeks under Law 14874 and RDC 837/2023; CEPs capped at 30 business days; published per-patient range $20,000–$35,000. Trial authorization and later market registration are separate workstreams.

Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not ANVISA 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 hospital

Federal University of Bahia Salvador is a serious named Brazilian campus on the public registry. ALL n=18 and DEVICE n=3 are registry volume, not a punchline. Do not invent a PI. Use the site when the protocol fits. Hire the operator.

What the CRO still does after you have the campus on a slide

1. 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.
2. Protocol, IB, ICF, insurance, and the ANVISA / ethics packet.
3. Importer of record and device accountability.
4. Site activation that is more than a tour: contracts, training, investigational product, EDC, monitoring plan. Activate this campus only if it fits the protocol.
5. 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

Public line, unchanged: bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia — local entity, Miami headquarters, own CRO in Colombia. Because INVIMA clinical-trial approval timelines have become unpredictable, bioaccess® does not currently recommend Colombia for new FIH trial execution. INVIMA commercial registration remains. 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 Federal University of Bahia Salvador directly for a device FIH?

You can try. The university can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your ANVISA 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 university. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

Is this the same page as IDOR Regional Bahia or Núcleo de Oncologia da Bahia Salvador?

No. idor-regional-bahia-salvador-fih and nucleo-oncologia-bahia-salvador-fih are already live. This page is Federal University of Bahia Salvador only.

Did bioaccess® run NCT01968512?

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. Salvador sibling (do not merge): IDOR Regional Bahia Salvador.

How ANMAT actually works (the short version)

Use live bioaccess® Argentina / ANMAT pages for the full pathway. Trial authorization and commercial registro are different petitions. Do not put both on one Gantt labeled “Argentina.” A published statutory target on the trial side is on the order of 90 business days and pauses for RFIs; ask for a protocol-specific calendar rather than treating an NCT row as start-up.

Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not ANMAT clearance. bioaccess® manages the file. That is CRO work, not site work.

• 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 ANVISA actually works (the short version)

Use clinical-trials-brazil: combined ethics + ANVISA typically 6–10 weeks under Law 14874 and RDC 837/2023; CEPs capped at 30 business days; published per-patient range $20,000–$35,000. Trial authorization and later market registration are separate workstreams.

Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not ANVISA 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 hospital

Universidade Federal Fluminense Niterói is a serious named Brazilian campus on the public registry. ALL n=21 and DEVICE n=3 are registry volume, not a punchline. Do not invent a PI. Use the site when the protocol fits. Hire the operator.

What the CRO still does after you have the campus on a slide

1. 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.
2. Protocol, IB, ICF, insurance, and the ANVISA / ethics packet.
3. Importer of record and device accountability.
4. Site activation that is more than a tour: contracts, training, investigational product, EDC, monitoring plan. Activate this campus only if it fits the protocol.
5. 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

Public line, unchanged: bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia — local entity, Miami headquarters, own CRO in Colombia. Because INVIMA clinical-trial approval timelines have become unpredictable, bioaccess® does not currently recommend Colombia for new FIH trial execution. INVIMA commercial registration remains. 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 Universidade Federal Fluminense Niterói directly for a device FIH?

You can try. The university can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your ANVISA 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 university. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

Is this the same page as UFF Nova Friburgo or Complexo Hospitalar Niterói?

No. universidade-federal-fluminense-nova-friburgo-fih and complexo-hospitalar-niteroi-fih are already live. This page is Universidade Federal Fluminense Niterói only.

Did bioaccess® run NCT03687047?

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. Distinct sibling (do not merge): Universidade Federal Fluminense Nova Friburgo.

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 ANVISA, 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 Federal University of Santa Maria as a bioaccess® client.

If you searched Federal University of Santa Maria first-in-human, UFSM clinical trial, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria CRO, or “go direct Federal University of Santa Maria,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) in Santa Maria, Brazil, is a real named university-campus string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the ANVISA file.

bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the university is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns ANVISA, CEP / CONEP, 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 university still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

This page is the named Santa Maria UFSM campus (Brazil). It is DISTINCT from live clinica-santa-maria-santiago-fih (Chile — different country, different regulator). It is not Hospital de Clínicas Porto Alegre / HCPA and not Federal University of São Carlos. Sharing a Santa Maria name is not a license to collapse Chile and Brazil. UFSM is not Clínica Santa María Santiago. UFSM is not HCPA.

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 the last live leftover-site batch 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.

• Federal University of Santa Maria (Santa Maria, Brazil) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=25; DEVICE n=5. Example NCT IDs: NCT02088138, NCT02600182, NCT03154970.

Cite canonical ALL n=25 and DEVICE n=5. Do not clone Clínica Santa María Santiago or HCPA onto this slug. Example device NCT IDs use the first 3 of the device list; full device list remains in the backlog.

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 university as a client site.

That is the leak: a founder searching Federal University of Santa Maria first-in-human finds ALL n=25 (DEVICE n=5) without finding ANVISA. A named university campus is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.

A named university 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 university 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 university is not built to own for an investigational device:

• ANVISA. Device investigations sit under RDC 837/2023 (dossier in Portuguese: IB, protocol, ICF, insurance, GMP evidence). A hallway conversation at this campus is not that dossier. A hallway conversation at UFSM Santa Maria Brazil is not a Clínica Santa María Santiago Chile 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.

A hallway conversation on this campus is not the INVIMA dossier.

Figures cited from the live ClinicalTrials.gov record NCT07085741 (study first posted 25 July 2025; last update posted 11 September 2026) and the published bioaccess® Mexico country page, verified 11 September 2026. General information, not legal or regulatory advice. Confirm current COFEPRIS, ethics-committee, and FDA rules with qualified advisers. We name only the facility and the trial those sources support. We do not publish site contact emails or phone numbers here. GT Metabolic Solutions is not claimed as a bioaccess® client. bioaccess® is not listed on this NCT.

If you searched Corporativo Hospital Satélite clinical trial, Hospital Satelite Naucalpan MAGNET, GT Metabolic Mexico duodeno-ileostomy, MAGNET 2 Study Mexico, or “go direct to the Naucalpan site,” you followed a facility string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes on NCT07085741. Corporativo Hospital Satelite in Naucalpan, Mexico is a real named facility on that record. It is not the operator of the COFEPRIS file.

bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: Corporativo Hospital Satelite is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns COFEPRIS, institutional ethics, 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 Naucalpan is not the only fit. Sponsors who skip the CRO and email the hospital still have to rebuild that stack. A completed location row does not become a CRO.

This page is the intercept for the Naucalpan / Hospital Satélite query. It does not clone clinical trials in Mexico. That page stays the country operating system. Sibling Mexican intercepts stay on their own buildings: Especialistas de la Piel y Cirugía Monterrey, New Hope Fertility Centre Mexico City, and Reina Madre Mexico City. Do not merge them into this slug.

Why the hospital name wins the search — and why that is not a CRO

NCT07085741 is an industry device listing. The registry’s own dates, retrieved 11 September 2026: study first submitted 8 April 2025; QC submitted 18 July 2025; first posted 25 July 2025; last update submitted 9 September 2026; last update posted 11 September 2026. Brief title: Creation of Side-to-Side Compression Anastomosis Using the GT Metabolic Solutions DI Biofragmentable Magnetic Anastomosis System in Mexico. Official title ends with the sponsor acronym MAGNET 2 Study. Organization study ID: GTM-002. Lead sponsor: GT Metabolic Solutions, Inc., class INDUSTRY, responsible party the sponsor. No collaborator is listed. No CRO is listed.

Design on the 11 September 2026 snapshot: interventional; intervention model description on the record says an open-label multicenter plan for up to 25 subjects at up to 3 study centers in Mexico; allocation N/A; no masking; primary purpose treatment; phase N/A; actual enrollment 10; status COMPLETED. Actual start 7 May 2025; actual primary completion 19 October 2025; actual completion 21 June 2026. Conditions: obesity; type 2 diabetes. The brief summary’s own words: evaluate the feasibility / performance, safety and initial efficacy of the MAGNET System, DI Biofragmentable for side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy diversion.

Intervention, in the registry’s words: a device — MAGNET System, DI Biofragmentable; anastomoses achieved by magnetic compression. Primary outcomes listed: magnet placement (≥90% alignment during the index procedure); natural magnet passage without surgical re-intervention through 90 days; anastomosis patency confirmed radiologically through 90 days. The registry’s oversight module records no data monitoring committee, and marks the study as not FDA-regulated drug and not FDA-regulated device — a sponsor-entered flag about this listing, not a statement about what a later U.S. filing would require.

Location rows currently published:

• Corporativo Hospital Satelite — the only location on the record — Naucalpan, Mexico. No site contact or overall official is printed on the public row as of the 11 September 2026 snapshot. We will not invent a principal investigator name.

Read the record as it is. A single Mexican facility string, an actual enrollment of 10, feasibility language in the brief summary, an industry sponsor, and no CRO in the public copy. That is the site-direct leak: a sponsor searching MAGNET System Mexico, GT Metabolic Naucalpan, or Hospital Satélite metabolic anastomosis now lands on a named hospital with no operator between them and the file. MAGNET 2 naming and earlier MagDI listings elsewhere on ClinicalTrials.gov mean we will not invent a “world’s first implant” claim for this page; the intercept is the Mexico facility string, not a global first-case press release.

Naucalpan is a site. The CRO is the operator.

A Naucalpan hospital campus can provide operating rooms, metabolic/bariatric procedural capacity, imaging for anastomosis patency, and local research staffing when contracted. That is necessary. It is not sufficient for an investigational-device study a U.S. board expects to survive later scrutiny.

What a site can typically do when a sponsor “goes direct”:

• Discuss investigator interest and procedural feasibility for a magnetic-anastomosis protocol — when that service is available and appropriate for your device, which is not automatic.
• Share institutional ethics-committee calendars and hospital research rules.
• Quote procedure, visit, and local staffing costs for the cases they will physically run.

What the site is not built to own for an investigational device:

• COFEPRIS. Clinical investigations sit under the Ley General de Salud and its implementing regulations. The submission is in Spanish: protocol, investigator brochure, informed consent, ethics approval, proof of insurance. A conversation with a Naucalpan hospital is not that dossier.
• Institutional ethics. Ethics-committee review under NOM-012-SSA3-2012 sits in front of the COFEPRIS file, and the committee is tied to the host institution once the site is chosen.
• Investigational import. Bringing an unapproved device into Mexico is a separate workstream from the trial authorization and from a later commercial registro sanitario. See importer of record for clinical trial devices in Latin America.
• Clinical trial insurance. Required. We will not invent a site-only premium here.
• ISO 14155 monitoring, EDC, adverse-event reporting, and the TMF.
• The 21 CFR 812.28 package. Foreign data is eligible for FDA submission and review after the GCP and ethics documentation that rule defines. Eligibility is not clearance. See OUS FIH and FDA IDE.
• Multi-country optionality. If one Mexican campus is not enough, a single-hospital MSA will not stretch to Colombia, Panama, Chile, or Brazil.

Going direct to Corporativo Hospital Satelite is how you confirm a room. It is not how you open an investigational file.

Site versus CRO

How COFEPRIS and ethics sit next to the hospital

Use clinical trials in Mexico for the full pathway. Facts a sponsor searching this facility needs on one screen, already published there and not re-averaged here:

• Ethics at 4–6 weeks under NOM-012-SSA3-2012; COFEPRIS review at 4–8 weeks after ethics clearance; 2.8-month median start-up (attributed on that hub to NIH ClinRegs).
• Published per-patient range $18,000–$30,000; 10+ pre-qualified sites across Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey.
• The ~30-working-day COFEPRIS figure is registro sanitario / vía abreviada — a commercial market-access clock, not this trial clock.
• All COFEPRIS submissions are in Spanish, including protocol, investigator brochure, and informed consent.
• Under 21 CFR 812.28, foreign clinical data is eligible for FDA submission and review when the investigation meets that rule’s GCP conditions. Eligibility is not a guarantee of clearance or approval.
• bioaccess®’s published cost comparison versus a typical U.S. or EU program is an experience-based estimate from work since 2010, not a formal study.

We will not invent a facility-only day count. Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not a COFEPRIS authorization.

What the GT Metabolic public file actually supports — and what it does not

• Device: MAGNET System, DI Biofragmentable (magnetic side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy anastomosis), as described on NCT07085741.
• Sponsor: GT Metabolic Solutions, Inc. (industry). No collaborator. No CRO named.
• Site: Corporativo Hospital Satelite, Naucalpan, Mexico — the only location row on the 11 September 2026 snapshot.
• Design: interventional, phase N/A; actual n=10; COMPLETED; actual start 7 May 2025; actual completion 21 June 2026; brief summary uses feasibility / performance language; official title labels the file MAGNET 2 Study (org ID GTM-002).
• Named investigator (as published): none on the public location or overall-official fields as of this snapshot. We do not invent one.
• Not claimed here: that the NCT named bioaccess®; that GT Metabolic is a bioaccess® client; that we have MAGNET outcomes; that this listing is an FDA IDE; that the hospital holds a COFEPRIS authorization because it is printed on a registry row; that this Mexico row is the world’s first MagDI implant.

What the CRO still does after you have a hospital name

• Regulatory-fit, not tourism. Mexico is a sourced device geography. It is not automatically the right country for every indication. bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia and the rest of the platform.
• Protocol, IB, ICF, insurance, and the COFEPRIS / ethics packet — in Spanish.
• Importer of record and device accountability for the investigational system.
• ISO 14155 monitoring and the 21 CFR 812.28 narrative for a later FDA conversation.
• Optionality if one Estado de México campus is not enough.

Frequently asked questions

Can I contract Corporativo Hospital Satelite directly?

You can try. The facility can discuss investigator interest, local procedure costs, and ethics-committee calendars. It cannot become your COFEPRIS applicant, importer of record, insurer, ISO 14155 monitor, or 21 CFR 812.28 packager because GT Metabolic listed Naucalpan. Contract the CRO; let the CRO activate the site.

Did bioaccess® run the MAGNET 2 study?

No public bioaccess® page says so. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the study.

The registry says this is not an FDA-regulated device study. Does 21 CFR 812.28 still matter?

It matters the moment you want the data to travel. That sponsor-entered flag describes this listing. If a U.S. submission is ever the goal, the GCP, ethics, and documentation conditions in 21 CFR 812.28 are what make foreign data eligible for FDA submission and review — and eligibility is still not clearance.

Is this a first-in-human study?

The brief summary uses feasibility / performance language and the official title calls the file MAGNET 2 Study. Earlier MagDI / MAGNET System listings for GT Metabolic exist on ClinicalTrials.gov outside Mexico. We intercept the Naucalpan facility string; we do not invent a global first-implant headline from this NCT alone.

Is Colombia still an option?

Yes. bioaccess® still runs trials in Colombia. A Naucalpan search is not an instruction to abandon INVIMA. See CRO in Colombia.
