WAYNE, Pa., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- RapidTrials(R), a specialty contract research organization, today announces the launch of Conducting Successful Clinical Trials (CSCT), a unique, multi-part learning program that will provide research sites with best practices for successful clinical trial management. CSCT, a web-based CME learning program, includes step-by-step instruction for assessing the feasibility of a study protocol featuring critical considerations for site logistics, patient recruitment, workflow, and budget management.
"Adequate enrollment is crucial to the overall success of the clinical trial," explains Tracy Blumenfeld, President and CEO of RapidTrials. "We've developed this training program to provide practical solutions to effectively manage clinical trials and enable sites to achieve their enrollment goals."
CSCT is a cutting-edge program offering training in specific regulatory, business and workflow issues often encountered by clinical research sites. As a case-study based tool, CSCT will provide users with real-world experience by working with the types of issues that they will likely face in any clinical trial.
Research shows that there is a lack of high-performing clinical trial sites in the United States, with over 50 percent of sites unable to meet their enrollment goals. Blumenfeld explains, "During the past 10 years we have developed and trained trial sites, through this experience we discovered that the most successful sites are those who approach research like a business. Now we can use CSCT to provide sites with those critical skills."
About Conducting Successful Clinical Trials
The new, knowledge-based tool is designed for all levels of research staff, and offers 4 category one continuing medical education (CME) credits to physicians.
The program consists of four hours of web-based training as a stand alone program or used in parallel with a more comprehensive three-part program:
* Part 1 - Overview of Clinical Research (Manuscript) * Part 2 - Preparing for Trials (Web Based) * Part 3 - Implementation of Trials (Live Course)
