Webinar: Becoming a Sponsor/CRO of Choice: The Site Perspective

Recorded Tuesday, November 20, 2018  |  11:00am – 12:00pm EST

 

In early 2018, The Avoca Group and the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) collaborated on web-based survey research to evaluate the key attributes that drive quality in clinical trials from the site perspective.

In the research, investigational sites were asked to rate sponsor and CRO attributes (including responsiveness to questions, knowledge of the study protocol, and frequency of CRA turnover, among others) and study execution (including setting of realistic patient recruitment goals, design of CRF, and ease of EDC systems).

During this live webinar, key findings – as well as recommendations for sponsors and CROs who want to become “partners of choice” with sites – will be presented.

 

 

 

What you will learn:

  • Essentials of protocol quality and designing studies with site feasibility in mind
  • Where to focus staff training and education efforts
  • The two biggest concerns for sites
  • The kind of support sites say they need more of
  • Why including sites in regulatory inspection preparedness planning is among the most effective actions sponsors and CROs can take to build positive relationships with sites

  • Sponsors
  • CROs
  • Sites
  • Clinical Service Providers
