The conference series is nationally respected and attended by vendors and sponsors in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Conley and Ander’s presentation will address one of the growing concerns within drug development; how to find and choose viable trial sites.
Topics will include:
- Identifying what makes a site feasible for your trial
- Establishing whether a site has ongoing studies competing for the same patient population
- Assessing whether the site meets the country’s standard of care
- Forecasting whether the length of your trial is acceptable to investigational staff and patients
- Evaluating the availability of specialized equipment and expertise
- Analyzing the consistency of the investigator budget with the level of investigational site effort required
According to Synteract executives, with trial costs on the rise finding appropriate investigative sites is a key driver in efficient trial conduct. With site selection a critical component in the overall drug development process, it is important for biopharma companies of all sizes to work with a CRO that can facilitate choosing viable trial sites.
“After nearly two decades of operations, we’re known for having a unique understanding of emerging pharma and biotech, particularly on the West Coast, where we are headquartered,” stated Stewart Bieler, chief operating officer. “We continue to enhance the breadth and depth of our Raleigh-based service offering in response to increasing East Coast-based client demand. This allows us to continue to offer a level of individualized service from experienced clinical development professionals on each project.”
