Wishing You a Wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year

 

We’d like to extend a warm holiday greeting to all of our client-partners, friends, and supporters. Our industry has faced unprecedented times in these last two years, and the decentralized clinical trial world has emerged stronger, smarter, and more connected. We value being a part of that connectivity.



Give Back with Greater Gift & Honor Clinical Trial Patients

 

At the core of Devana Solutions’ mission—to connect central research operations teams to decentralized clinicians serving patients in diverse community settings—is the goal of reducing drug development costs and curing disease.

That’s why Devana partners with Greater Gift, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that “honors patient volunteers and research professionals who make clinical trials possible,” by helping the public “understand the powerful role clinical trial volunteers play in the development of new drug therapies, medicines, and vaccines.”

Dedicated to combating the data gaps and inequity resulting from many ethnic, racial, and other demographic groups being underrepresented in clinical research, Greater Gift has donated more than 120,000 vaccines—and meals—to children in need since 2010.

Join Devana this holiday season in honoring clinical trial patients by donating vaccines to children in need through Greater Gift.

How Technology Simplifies Clinical Trial Feasibility Assessments

Ah, the dreaded site assessment and feasibility: pages upon pages of requests for information. From equipment specifications to investigator experience to patient population, the amount of data needed to execute a clinical trial feasibility is onerous. You may have most of this information on hand—across a variety of spreadsheets, emails, documents—and in your head. But there may also be gaps in the information you have access to, leaving you no option but to put down your best guess and muddle through.

Give Back with Greater Gift & Honor Clinical Trial Patients

At the core of Devana Solutions’ mission—to connect central research operations teams to decentralized clinicians serving patients in diverse community settings—is the goal of reducing drug development costs and curing disease. That’s why Devana partners with Greater Gift, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that “honors patient volunteers and research professionals who make clinical trials possible,” by helping the public “understand the powerful role clinical trial volunteers play in the development of new drug therapies, medicines, and vaccines.”

Dedicated to combating the data gaps and inequity resulting from many ethnic, racial, and other demographic groups being underrepresented in clinical research, Greater Gift has donated more than 120,000 vaccines—and meals—to children in need since 2010.

The founder of Greater Gift, Jennifer Byrne, is the CEO of Javara Research. For over 20 years, she has seen thousands of patient volunteers participate in more than 7,500 clinical trials. Whether their motivation was to find treatments for themselves or to help others by contributing to research, the positive impact these volunteers had on future generations cannot be overstated. As a way to honor these patients and their contributions, Jennifer created Greater Gift. In addition to the outreach work that brings vital awareness of clinical research to underrepresented communities, Greater Gift partners with the life science community to provide a vaccine or meal to a child on behalf of each and every clinical trial participant. 

Devana is proud to be both a sponsor and partner of Greater Gift and to help support its mission to advance global health now and for the future. Every year at this time, Devana donates vaccines in the names of each of our clients through Greater Gift. These vaccines go to children in need who are under/uninsured and who might not otherwise have access to life-saving preventative inoculations. 

We hope you will join us in donating to this worthy cause during this holiday season and beyond.

Recap: 2021 SCRS Site Solutions Summit and Looking Ahead to 2022

The clinical trial industry is still abuzz after the amazing 2021 SCRS Site Solutions Summit in Hollywood, Florida. From the informative workshops and collaborative exhibit hall discussions to the receptions, everyone walked away with an enlightened perspective to push the clinical trial space forward. The team at Devana Solutions has assembled some of its thoughts and highlights from one of the industry’s biggest events of the year.

Devana Solutions CEO and Co-founder, Barry Lake, participated in several workshops and panels. He kicked off a Friday afternoon session with a discussion on the future of decentralized, patient-centric clinical trials with Irfan Khan, CEO of Circuit Clinical,

Paul Evans, CEO of Velocity Clinical Research, Jeff Kingsley, CEO of IACT Health & COO of hyperCORE, and Kristen Andrews, Senior Director, Labcorp Drug Development.

“This workshop brought together some of the sharpest minds and most accomplished professionals in the clinical trial industry to form a powerful ‘think tank’ to kick off our first day, and we had perspectives from both the site and Sponsor/CRO sides,” said Lake.

From left to right: Irfan Khan, MD, Kristin Andrews, Dr. Jeff Kingsley, Dr. G. Paul Evans

SCRS’ Site Solutions Summit is all about advancing the clinical trial industry forward, including advancements in purpose-built technology, such as Devana Solutions.

One technology-related panel discussion, of which Lake participated, also included RealTime CTMS’ CEO, Rick Greenfield. RealTime CTMS and Devana Solutions have a current API-integration, providing a multitude of benefits to their mutual clients. Lake and Greenfield both emphasized that “interoperability” of tech systems is fundamental to site success and ultimately, sponsor and CRO success.

“Technology, like what Devana Solutions offers, must meet the needs of all parties involved, from sites and CROs to sponsors,” Lake said. As this industry evolves, “there may never be a common platform utilized by the entire industry.”

While the workshops and panels offered incredible insight into where the clinical trial industry is headed, it was the open dialogue between all industry stakeholders that really laid the foundation for success.   

Devana Solutions’ Vice President of Operations, Linda Parks, met with several of our partners and acknowledged that the dialogue helps lead a mutual learning process. “Each conversation reveals more, and what we take away from SCRS’ Site Solutions Summit is invaluable. We enjoyed hearing from colleagues about the specific technology pain points that are preventing them from making data-backed end-to-end decisions to their clinical trial operations,” said Parks.

Director of Strategic Partnerships, Emily Wike, optimistically saw conference attendees step back and view their processes from a higher altitude. “The interest in Devana grows more with each conference. For those that just learned about Devana, their eyes were opened to a whole new way to manage their clinical trials,” said Wike.

While our out-of-the-box solutions are certainly beneficial, it’s Devana Solutions’ unique ability to customize its technology to each research organization’s specific needs and processes that is pivotal. “No research organization wants to be constrained during the study startup process, and they certainly shouldn’t be constrained by a technology forcing major process change,” said Shenefield.  “One-by-one, people who stopped by our booth were amazed at the level of customization that we provide as a partner, to unlock those key insights that shape better clinical trial business decisions,” said Shenefield.

At this year’s SCRS Site Solutions Summit, while our main focus was to bring about a positive shift in the clinical trial space, being face to face and sharing an occasional fist bump or handshake, was an overdue and welcomed experience.

If you stopped by our booth, you may have enjoyed a few of the fun activities we hosted, like meeting Devana, the Huntress, live and in the flesh.  

From left to right: Linda Parks, Lorraine Da Mata, Devana, Emily Wike, Roxanne Shenefield

Devana had quite a few friends stop to take photos with her, including Aspen Insights, LLC and Optimed Research

Others stopped by our booth for a chance to win a Starbucks gift card through an archery contest; hit the bullseye and win! Devana Solutions helps research organizations stay on target, after all, and we witnessed some pretty decent marksmen.

Longtime friend of Devana Solutions and client-partner, Craig Koch of Velocity Clinical, took dead aim and nailed the bullseye.

Those who were new to the innovative Devana Solutions technology scheduled a demo at the booth. Wike summed up the reaction from demo participants, “I was told by many, after viewing a demo, that we caused them to rethink their current processes. The most common customer need discussed was around growing research organizations; they are simply too busy and growing too quickly to be able to manage their clinical trials in spreadsheets or other systems that are not clinical trials industry-specific. They were relieved to know that Devana existed as a solution.” 

Once the demos and exhibit hall fun came to an end, attendees migrated to the awards ceremony and dinner on Saturday night.

Devana Solutions would like to congratulate both Pfizer and PPD as the SCRS Eagle Award recipients as Sponsor and CRO of Choice, respectively, as well as the Christine K. Pierre Site Impact Award recipient, Michele Cameron, Director of Clinical Research, Clearwater Cardiovascular Consultants. We would also like to recognize industry veteran and HCA Healthcare’s VP of Research and Compliance, David Vulcano, and the contributions he has made to the clinical trial industry thus far and are excited to see the mark he makes as the new Honorary President of the Society for Clinical Research Sites.

Will we see you at the 2022 SCRS Site Solutions Summit? With plans already underway, next year’s Summit is to take place October 7th through 9th, with Site Symposiums starting on October 6th. We are already making our plans and we can’t wait to see you, once again!

“There is so much to benefit from attending the SCRS Site Solutions Summit, spending quality time and exchanging insights with our industry partners. Our team is already discussing how to make the 2022 Summit even better than the last,” said Lake.

But don’t wait until 2022 to talk to us!  and discuss your clinical trial data management pain points now. Let’s find a solution today!  Please reach out to us using the contact form below.

2021 SCRS Site Solutions Summit: Clinical Trial Data Management Success

The 2021 SCRS Site Solutions Summit is finally here! If you’re like our team, you’re probably packing up and heading to the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, for a great weekend of learning and networking to enhance your clinical trial operations. During most clinical research conferences, one of the most frequently discussed topics is data management. Many research organizations discover that they lack the proper tools for complete data analysis. The team at Devana Solutions wants to ensure that having the knowledge and tools to produce precise data is a big part of your SCRS Site Solutions Summit experience.

The Key to Comprehensive Clinical Trial Data Management

Did you know that approximately 70% of data is lost during the clinical trial process? This creates tremendous blind spots for all clinical trial stakeholders. This lack of visibility means that clinical trial executives are losing out on the advantages to make more targeted business decisions. Devana Solutions developed an end-to-end technology solution to satisfy your clinical trial data needs, and spending just 15 minutes looking at the platform will open your mind to new ways to manage critical data to ensure your organization is on the right track.

Discussing Clinical Trial Data Management

Aside from a demo of the Devana Solutions platform, there are three data-centric events at the SCRS Site Solutions Summit we’d like to put on your radar.

This interactive session focuses on technology’s role in the clinical trials industry.   Similar to a focus group, this Breakout Session will collaboratively collect perspectives from the field to help impress future technology adoption and advancement.  

Devana Solutions CEO and Co-Founder, Barry Lake  will serve as one of the panelists.

Lake says, “Too many technology vendors neglect the site and patient perspective when introducing new advances at the site-level. Since Devana Solutions was purpose-built by site professionals to meet leadership’s need for performance data transparency, I’m hopeful that my experience will resonate from the site and patient viewpoint.”

Saturday, October 2nd at 3:00 PM: Breakout Session II, Trust-Building: Utilizing Your Data to Validate Your Site.

Sponsors and CROs are seeking increased visibility into sites’ potential patient access. This session will help you understand the data sources that sponsors and CROs are using to further validate your site and provide perspective on what kinds of data you should track and share to position your site for selection.  

Devana Solutions CEO and Co-Founder, Barry Lake will facilitate the panel.  

“Devana Solutions has always been driven by our site-based roots to take the initiative and be accountable for accessing and analyzing their own performance metrics data so I’m excited to hear from Kerry Gorman of IQVIA, a leading CRO with a strong history of leveraging site performance data and since Stamford Therapeutics Consortium manages trials across all phases, Jeff Stein’s perspective from a leading site organization will mean a powerful panel,” says Lake.  

Expand Your Business and Meet New People

While you will grow your insights at the events of the Summit, you will also expand your business and connections in the field.  Whether it’s interacting with panelists or sharing thoughts with others in the breakout sessions, you will walk away with more industry relationships.  Many of these new connections can evolve into working partnerships.  We’ve had the pleasure of meeting new people and then serving their clinical trial data and analytics needs.

There may be no better place to build these relationships than the EXPO Hall.  This is the nerve center of the Summit, and this gives you a chance to interact with many of the teams in the industry.  You can spend hours walking the floors and meeting with the teams at their booths. The Devana Solutions team loves seeing familiar faces and meeting new people at the Site Solutions Summit.
