Why Choose a Site Network for Your Clinical Trials? (1)

Why Choose a Site Network for Your Clinical
Trials? 
2
For many research sites, navigating the clinical
trial landscape can be very intimidating. Gaining
credibility, making meaningful connections with
sponsors and CROs, and finding new study
opportunities can be difficult and
time-consuming. Doing these things while also
conducting high-quality research can be even more
challenging.  The need to choose sites again for
each new study is often time-consuming and
inefficient. Moreover, the increase in the number
of clinical trials and the different exclusion
and inclusion criteria across trials have created
challenges for selecting sites that perform
well. Site network clinical research effectively
addresses these concerns and provides cost
savings by reducing the total number of sites
used and recruiting a large volume of patients.

What Is A Site Network?

• A clinical investigative site network is a group
  of clinical sites represented under one entity
  and chosen using specific criteria. With a site
  network, you have access to many sites through
  one central entity, including one point of
  contact for all site-related communications and
  site feasibility assessments over the entire
  duration of the trial and multiple sites. It
  allows the team to focus their attention on more
  critical areas such as patient care and data
  quality.

Introductions to New Sponsors/CROs

• A vast part of securing study opportunities for
  your research site is establishing relationships
  with sponsors and CROs, but establishing these
  relationships is easier said than done. Another
  benefit of joining a site network is that site
  networks already have good relationships with
  many different sponsors and CROs, which pressure
  off research sites to form these relationships.
  By taking the pressure of forming relationships
  with sponsors and CROs off of your research site,
  you can focus on what is important your
  patients and your research.

Streamlined and Accelerated Study Start-Up
Process

• Study start-up times are a challenge for
  sponsors, CROs, and sites alike, but joining a
  site network can significantly accelerate and
  streamline this process. Site networks can
  accelerate the study-start up process in many
  different ways, including assisting with
  submission processes, negotiating contracts with
  sponsors and CROs, and helping with patient
  recruitment. By improving study start-up times,
  research sites can build their reputation while
  still maintaining their patients and research.

Single Point of Contact

• Effective communication between research sites
  and sponsors, and CROs is crucial for the
  clinical research process, but this process isnt
  always easy. Site networks can benefit from a
  single point of contact between research sites
  and the sponsor/CROs, which makes the
  communication process much simpler for both
  parties.
• Because every organization and study have unique
  needs, finding a site network that provides the
  required resources is essential. Plus,
  understanding these differentiating factors for
  site networks can help evaluate and select the
  most appropriate network.
