The Rise of the Site: How to Empower Efficient Clinical Study Execution
The clinical research industry is at a pivotal moment, with rigid and outdated processes hindering adaptation to rapid technological advancements, trapping clinical research in a state of paralysis. Clinical study management practices have changed little in the past quarter-century, though sites now shoulder greater burdens.
The role of individual sites and site networks will undergo significant transformation, evolving to deliver data directly from site systems, enhancing patient recruitment and streamlining site identification. Additionally, these sites and site networks will play a crucial role in sourcing studies by leveraging the sites within their federation, thereby offering more options for efficient clinical study management.
The importance of sites and site networks is increasing at a pace never seen before. With the need to find more diverse patients, ensure their retention in clinical trials and provide sponsor organizations with high-quality data, the professionalization of sites is becoming more and more important.
