The clinical research site is an essential part of the development of life-saving medicines. As such, the clinical research site is a very profitable venture as it evolves. For this to be successful, it requires hard work and dedication. Below are some important characteristics to ensure the success of your clinical research site.
The highly experienced PI
The major element of all clinical trials is the principal investigator. A successful clinical research site, such as MplusM's, must have high calibre PIs, be well experienced and specialise in the indication being studied. Indeed, the PI will be a determining factor in the development of the most important component of the clinical trials. A good PI will advise the trial participants on the potentials of the different drugs under study, on the merits and on the risks involved. The absence of a PI will not in any way result in a successful site.
Having an excellent clinical research coordinator
If the PI is the key to a successful trial, the CRC is the gatekeeper. All study elements must go through the CRC as they are the essential pieces of the puzzle. In addition, a good clinical research site must have an experienced CRC who will be familiar with the industry and can participate in many trials. They must have a proactive approach and also have an incredible track record. Finally, clinical trials must be conducted with impeccable organisations. It is therefore imperative that the CRC is a good manager and organiser.
Have a large and diverse patient database
For a site to gain a good reputation with sponsors and CROs, it is fundamental to the platform's ability to meet trial enrolment targets. In order to know if your clinical research site is consistently meeting targets, if it is being considered for further studies, you need to have the largest patient database. However, many sites are wondering how to grow their patient database to meet their objectives. Indeed, the most important tool is to have and at the same time establish a strong community link. Your site must take concrete actions. As an action, your site can visit local community health centres, raise awareness by explaining the benefits of participating in clinical trials for patients.
