3rd Annual Best Practice in Clinical Site Selection & Performance Management

Event Overview

What constitutes best practice when planning and running your clinical studies at the individual clinical site? Why do so many sites underperform in relation to the original feasibility? From ensuring that the trial is: thoroughly planned, with clear recruitment goals; incorporates early site input; with a detailed but not cumbersome protocol and feasibility questionnaire; pre-agreed metrics and qualitative measures; motivated and willing investigators; a clear and well written site agreement; and resulting high quality data and met recruitment timelines all combine to be, what should be, the best practice. Last year's event focused heavily on site relationships whereas this year's event is bringing trial planning, site metrics as decision making tools & defining patient recruitment under greater scrutiny as key challenges to ensuring the performance of individual sites, thus improving the overall clinical trial’s performance.
