Site Activation Services
The process of getting investigative sites activated by efficiently collecting their regulatory documentation is critical to the successful initiation of any study. Key clinical trial activities - from Institutional Review Board approval and informed consent to drug shipment and patient randomization - hinge on the timely execution of that process. Yet many sites report frustration with inefficient start-up processes that hinder their ability to meet enrollment goals. Efficient execution of clinical trial agreements and timely administration of the associated grant payments are also critical to the study initiation and completion processes. The combination of these factors directly impacts the sponsor-investigator relationship and the speed at which your product ultimately reaches the market.
CFS offers a comprehensive suite of clinical trial activation services that include regulatory document collection and management as well as global investigator budget and contract management. With an experienced and efficient team dedicated solely to managing the start-up activities of your trial and a technologically advanced project dashboard that provides near-time visibility into the status of every document, we help you accelerate contract cycle times, minimize financial risk, and improve relationships with investigative sites. When you outsource these important start-up activities to CFS, you free up internal resources that can be redeployed to other critical trial activities.
