Today's Investigator Databank And DQS: Welcoming The Next Generation Of Consortium Members
By Nick Whitney, Sr. Director, Commercial Lead, Site Suite, IQVIA Technologies

The Data Query System (DQS) is a collaborative platform that has evolved from the Investigator Databank, initially formed by a few major pharmaceutical companies, into a dynamic consortium with nearly 20 members today. Designed to enhance clinical trial feasibility and site selection, DQS aggregates diverse data sources — including internal clinical trial management systems, public databases, and third-party partners — into a unified, cloud-based repository. This comprehensive dataset offers sponsors a detailed view of investigator and site performance metrics such as enrollment rates and start-up times, helping optimize study planning and reduce costly delays.
By leveraging data sharing and mastering within this collaborative network, companies gain access to a broader, more accurate landscape of qualified investigators and sites. This approach supports more efficient patient recruitment, lower operational costs, and improved engagement with clinical sites. Organizations interested in elevating their feasibility programs and trial success are encouraged to explore the benefits of joining this expanding consortium.
