Best Practices for Clinical Trial Site Selection - Finding High-Enrolling, High-Data Quality Producing Sites

This clinical compliance training will provide attendees best practices for clinical trial site selection. Attendees will learn how to identify high-quality and low-quality data sites and how to address issues in both of those scenarios.

Why Should You Attend:

Clinical trial site enrollment rate is often the leading factor in determining study length and associated costs with getting product to the market. Most large-scale trials involve a typical ratio of 25% of sites enrolling 75% of the study subjects, 25% enroll no subjects, and the remaining 50% enroll the remainder of subjects. With limited budgets and timelines, there are proven methods which virtually eliminate the non-enrolling sites and move them to high or near-high enrolling sites, which is crucial when there is a limited number of sites to work with due to budgetary and other constraints. With estimated start-up costs currently averaging $30,000 per site, it is crucial that high-enrolling, high-quality sites are selected. This process works for both trials run completely within the US and for trials on a global basis. However, there are some differences in procedures that must be followed when identifying sites outside of the US.

This webinar will cover a step-by-step procedure to identify high-enrolling sites for clinical trials. It will help the attendees to quickly identify low-enrolling sites to either remove them from the study or bring them up-to-speed. It will also explain the role of various departments in clinical trial site selection.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• A step-by-step procedure to identify high-enrolling sites for clinical trials.
• How to identify which countries and sites are the most suitable for conducting trials outside of the US.
• Determining cost to benefit of enrolling within various countries and between investigators.
• Determining the impact to the cost of development of the investigational product to the company using various enrollment scenarios.
• How to quickly identify low-enrolling sites to either remove them from the study or bring them up-to-speed.
• How to quickly identify high-quality and low-quality data sites and how to address issues in both of those scenarios.
• Role of various departments in clinical trial site selection.

Who Will Benefit:

This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all personnel in:

• Clinical Operations within the pharmaceutical, medical device or diagnostics clinical
• Business Development
• Regulatory Affairs
• All personnel within the company with an interest of conducting clinical trials more efficiently at overall lower costs with higher quality data
