An Honest Assessment Of eCOAs From A Site Perspective

As per the Tufts Impact Report, a substantial 70% of investigative site staff have observed an increasing difficulty in conducting clinical trials over the past five years. Commonly noted challenges include staffing shortages, study budget constraints, and growing protocol complexity. Furthermore, sites grapple with the adoption of new technologies and operational models, harnessing remote personnel, and utilizing virtual facilities.

To address these challenges, clinical sites must reevaluate their operational strategies and embrace flexible, resilient tools. The key to transformational change in study initiation, streamlined clinical trial execution, and contented, productive sites lies in the judicious combination of technologies complemented by services that expedite manual processes.

In this webinar, several industry experts engage in an open discussion with a panel of sites and Clinical Research Associates (CRAs). This discussion offers an unfiltered assessment of how forthcoming developments in the eCOA landscape can alleviate burdens on both participants and sites, thus enhancing the likelihood of success in clinical trials.

Key Takeaways:

1. Insights and guidance on the effective implementation of eCOA.
2. Anticipated surprises when integrating eCOAs in clinical trials.
3. A close examination of the resource challenges faced by sites.
4. Perspectives on how training and support can mitigate operational obstacles.
