How Technology Simplifies Clinical Trial Feasibility Assessments

November 2, 2021 by

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.

However, the accuracy of the data you provide in an assessment is vital. Sponsors and CROs need the information in a feasibility to be as precise as possible, or else how can they be sure a site will be able to perform as needed in a trial? Miscalculations and incomplete information could prevent you from being awarded the trials you deserve. On the other hand, an inaccurate feasibility could lead to being awarded a trial that your site cannot perform well, resulting in damage to your business and your reputation. This inevitably slows down or even halts the investigational process, causing delays in much-needed therapies, vaccines, and devices making it to the market—and to the patients who would benefit from them.  

Clinical Trial Feasibility Accuracy and Innovation

In the clinical trials industry, innovation and state-of-the-art technology are a part of the job. But until now, so many sites have been relying on outdated, error-prone manual processes to store and deliver their vital information. Devana Solutions is here to change that by bringing site feasibility assessments into the 21st century. With our clinical trial process management platform, you’ll have access to all of the data you need to flawlessly execute clinical trial feasibility assessments—within seconds. 

Performance for Indications & Therapeutic Areas

Devana’s platform gives you the ability to review a site’s past and current performance, as well as their experience in particular indications or therapeutic areas. This information can be displayed for your particular site, for a specific investigator, or even for the organization as a whole. You can easily see the number of trials and average enrollment metrics for those trials, such as patient volume, screen failure rate, early term rate, and contract fulfillment percentage. 

Performance with CROs & Sponsors

Common feasibility questions about your performance with specific CROs and sponsors include queries like how many studies are you currently running or have completed for a specific CRO or sponsor? What is your average study start-up time with that same CRO or sponsor? How long on average does it take your site(s) to screen the first patient once the study has been given the “green light?” Devana’s platform instantly provides this information for you. Among other metrics, you can see the number of trials performed for each CRO and sponsor, their turnaround time, and pertinent enrollment data. 

Clinical Trial Feasibility Investigator Information

Our platform’s investigator profiles centrally house all of the crucial documentation for your investigators, including CVs, medical licensing, and training certificates. No more digging into emails, computer folders, or physical files of photocopies just to fill out the investigator information in a feasibility assessment. With Devana’s platform, everything you need is in one place.

Site Information

All of the relevant information needed for a site feasibility assessment—from the basics such as contact info to the nitty-gritty details like therapeutic area experience, equipment on-site, staff-on site, and past FDA audit outcomes—is stored in our platform’s site profiles. You won’t need to sift through countless documents and spreadsheets just to get the necessary data—our platform provides it at the touch of a button.

Financial Information

Budget considerations are a common element of feasibility assessments, requiring you to provide fiscal details in a variety of areas. This financial information includes costs related to specific indications as well as particular CROs and sponsors. Devana’s platform stores and crunches the numbers for you, so it’s available anytime you need it. 

Feasibility assessments are essential for winning trial awards, but there’s no reason they should still be a stressful, manual, error-prone process. With Devana’s platform, you’ll effortlessly give CROs and sponsors the data and the insights they need to understand your strengths and weaknesses, optimize your performance, and win study awards.

How to Better Manage Your Clinical Trial Operations

October 26, 2021 by

One of the biggest challenges that clinical research organizations face is managing their vast influx of clinical trial opportunities from Sponsors, CROs and other potential sources. As anyone in this industry knows, there’s a lot of effort that goes into starting up a clinical trial; from sourcing the trial, to feasibility and site selection, to contract and budget negotiations, to regulatory and the many steps in between. Even today, in this advanced digital age, most research organizations are still relying upon mundane spreadsheets and manual processes to manage their trial activities. Why are we still doing this when there is technology available to make our lives easier? Devana Solutions’ innovative platforms help to increase efficiency around clinical trial processes for research organizations of all sizes, with varying needs. 

Managing New Clinical Trial Opportunities

Devana Solutions helps you track the pipeline of new clinical trial opportunities.  

Let’s say you’re a research organization with ten site locations that was just approached with a new clinical trial opportunity. In Devana, you can create the trial opportunity, once, completing details such as the name, trial origin, therapeutic area, protocol number, etc.; details that will not change regardless of which sites are conducting the trial.

Once you’ve created the trial within Devana, you can then add all ten sites to the trial, which creates a site activity and enrollment record for each site. Whether startup activities are handled centrally or at the site level, you will be able to track the completion of necessary milestones within Devana. If certain milestones are handled centrally, you only have to update the milestone once from the main trial page instead of having to update each individual site record, 10 different times.

Devana also offers built in, automated task management so important tasks never get missed, since we know there are many moving parts in managing a trial, in all stages.

Simplify Feasibility Questionnaires

One of the more frustrating situations during the feasibility process is not having complete data to quickly and easily respond to feasibility questionnaires.

When you have this information in a comprehensive system like Devana Solutions, it makes responding to a feasibility much easier since everything is at your fingertips.

One area where this is immensely beneficial is having concrete data surrounding your investigators’ historical and current trial performance. When completing feasibilities, do you know, without hesitation, how many trials they’ve participated in? Can you easily tell how many they are actively conducting? Or perhaps the feasibility is asking for data related to the indication. Do you know how many trials you’ve completed in a particular indication? What about your average enrollment percentage in that indication? Or screen failure and patient retention percentages? Devana Solutions allows you to instantly access data whether it’s sorted by the trial, indication, investigator, site or the entire organization.

Sort Your Decentralized Site Data in Seconds

In the age of decentralized trials, it can be difficult to sort through each sites’ capabilities to determine which sites are compatible when presented with a new trial opportunity. Sure, you may have a spreadsheet detailing each sites’ therapeutic capabilities and equipment on site, but how time consuming is it to sort through this information manually? Or what if a site makes a sudden change to their capabilities? How can you be confident that the information you have on hand is accurate? Certainly, you can call or email the site each time you receive a new feasibility, but who has time for that? 

These manual processes may not be too cumbersome if you have two or three sites, but what happens when you have two to three dozen or more?  Devana Solutions tracks all of the key information for each site so that you are able to quickly query the data for all site locations to determine which sites or investigators are capable of conducting a particular trial. But how can Devana help ensure that you always have the most accurate data on your sites? Through Devana’s site-facing interface, LYNK, which allows site-level users to update their capabilities in real-time, so that your teams can be rest assured that the information they rely upon for precise site-selection is accurate.

Is your site maximizing its potential to conduct trials more efficiently and reliably? Are you easily able to access critical data to make better business decisions? If not, you’re not alone.

  • What indications do we perform well in (or those we do not)?
  • What is the forecasted revenue for trials in this indication?

View Your Opportunities and Research Operations with Devana Solutions’ Clinical Trial Analytics Platform

Let’s say that you have four active and enrolling trials, in the same indication, that your site(s) is doing well. Because of this success, you’ve been approached to conduct additional trials in the same indication, but you need to determine which is the best fit for your organization or if you have the necessary bandwidth and patient population to conduct. Devana Solutions‘ clinical trial analytics platform presents you with a broader view into these opportunities, as well as your research operations, to help make this decision faster and more accurately.

With real-time data at your fingertips, a cloud-based platform to house your account and contact information and email integration to never lose sight of important interactions, Devana Solutions is the answer to connecting and aligning your site(s) with CROs and Sponsors for more of the right trial awards.

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

October 12, 2021 by

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 Demo

September 22, 2021 by

The SCRS Global Site Solutions Summit is quickly approaching, and the clinical research industry is eager to reunite, face to face, in Hollywood, Florida. While a great time will be had by all, we are most excited about making improvements in the clinical trial space. From sensational speakers to informative sessions and workshops, to the exhibitor booths, there is something for everyone at the Site Solutions Summit; and while there are many valuable events at the Summit, spending just 15 minutes at the Devana Solutions’ booth for a live demo of our innovative platform could result in a significant and positive impact on your research organization.

Here’s what you can gain from a 15-minute demo of the Devana Solutions’ platform.

Gain a Complete View of the Clinical Trial Data Stream

From initial trial lead through close-out, the amount of data to be analyzed can become overwhelming. Many research organizations only focus on analytics centered around active clinical trials and patient visits, but by doing so, they are missing out on critical data that can be used to their advantage.

Navigating through the Devana Solutions’ platform, you’ll find workflow automation and data around business development, feasibility and site selection, contract and budget negotiations, startup activities and timelines, indication performance history, site and investigator capabilities, and much more. Devana Solutions helps to unlock key data and provides complete visibility into all aspects of the clinical trial process, giving your research organization a competitive edge.

Utilize Clinical Trial Data to Make Better Business Decisions

Many technologies claim to track key data around the clinical trial process, but is this data relevant to your organization or only to the trial, itself? While we can agree that there is key data that all research organizations should be tracking at the trial level, what about an organization’s internal metrics around their unique processes? Devana Solutions works with each client to customize their platform to provide metrics that are specific to their organization, not just the trial. This is a different approach than other clinical trial technology solution providers take. By tailoring our robust platform to each client, based on their current processes and future goals, Devana’s clients are able to make more informed business decisions. When you participate in a Devana demo, we invite you to ask questions around your own needs and future goals so we can show you how Devana’s technology can bring your vision to life.

Experience New Efficiencies in the Clinical Trial Process

By tailoring Devana’s platform specifically to each research organization, our clients benefit from an unsurpassed level of workflow automation to increase their efficiency throughout multiple processes, whether they be relative to the trial itself or other organizational-specific processes. By streamlining these processes, Devana clients are able to save a significant amount of time and reduce or completely eliminate duplicate data-entry. During a Devana demo, you may start to question your current processes and that’s okay; that’s what we expect you to do. Challenge the status quo and ask yourself how Devana can help you streamline your processes and make the day-to-day a little less cumbersome.

Learn How Devana Solutions Integrates with Your Existing Software

While Devana Solutions is valuable as a standalone product to manage clinical trial startup activities and internal processes, it is complementary with other technology solutions that you may already be utilizing. Currently, Devana Solutions has a full integration with three of the major CTMS providers; RealTime CTMS, Clinical Research I.O. (CRIO), and Clinical Conductor.

Connecting these technologies allows research organizations to save time on study-build within the CTMS by reducing duplicate data entry for study teams. These integrations also provide real-time screening and enrollment metrics to be captured for robust analysis and reporting within Devana, offering a true end to end clinical trial operating system.

Aside from CTMS integrations, Devana also integrates with MailChimp, Tableau and Outlook and with an open API-structure, has the ability to do custom integrations for their clients. We welcome you to ask about integration possibilities during your Devana demo.

Here’s what some of the industry’s biggest names say about their success with Devana Solutions.

Meet our team

Stop by Booth 512, to meet a few of the Devana Solutions’ family, including our CEO and Co-founder, Barry Lake, Vice-President of Operations, Linda Parks,

Director of Customer Success, Roxanne Shenefield, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Emily Wike and Customer Success Specialist, Lorraine Da Mata.

Interested in scheduling a demo before you arrive at the Summit? Connect with our team here, and add a Devana demo to your “to-do” list. Need a guide to other must-attend events? We’ve put that list together for you. See you at the SCRS Site Solutions Summit!

The official Summit kick-off is October 1st and attendees can look forward to a full day of workshops. One we highly recommend attending is the Master Workshop III at 2:00 PM: 

      Position Your Site to Lead the Charge to the Future of Decentralized, Patient-centric Clinical Trials 

      Devana Solutions CEO and Co-Founder, Barry Lake, joined by a distinguished panel of industry leaders from the site sector and a major global CRO, will lead an interactive discussion on the rapid evolution, spurred by the pandemic, towards a more decentralized, patient-centric approach to designing and executing clinical trials.   

      You will gain knowledge in these three key areas:  

      • Gain a better understanding of the rapid transition to more decentralized, patient-centric clinical trial solutions  
      • Understand the resulting impacts being felt at the site-level; such as the rapid adoption of telemedicine, devices, wearables, and innovative technology platforms, transforming clinical trial management which could have profound implications for sites  
      • Better position your site organization to embrace the change and thrive in a future decentralized clinical trial environment, ultimately for the benefit of the patients     

      Joining Barry will be:   

      Irfan Khan, CEO of Circuit Clinical  

      Paul Evans, CEO of Velocity Clinical Research  

      Jeff Kingsley, CEO of IACT Health & COO of hyperCORE  

      If you have never attended the SCRS Global Site Solutions Summit, you will want to make sure you attend the Opening and Welcome in the Great Hall with SCRS’ Allyson Small, Sean Soth, and Casey Orvin. This event takes place at 4:00 PM on Friday, prior to the opening of the EXPO Hall. 

      EXPO Hall Opens and Opening Reception  

      The EXPO Hall opens at 6:00 PM on Friday, with the opening reception lasting until 7:30 PM. SCRS has taken many safety precautions in the wake of COVID-19, such as a larger Exhibitor Hall, timed entry and fewer exhibitor booths for wider aisles and more spacing. Here is the latest safety announcement from the SCRS team.  

      Devana Solutions will be located at booth 512 and is excited to announce a few different events within our booth. 

      On-Site Demo and $250 Amazon Gift Card Drawing Opportunity  

      We welcome you to join us for a live demo of the Devana Solutions platform, which unlocks complete visibility into your clinical trials and helps to make more informed business decisions. We will be holding a drawing for eligible attendees who participate in an on-site demo. One lucky winner will be randomly drawn for a chance to win a $250 Amazon gift card. 

      Are You on Target with Your Clinical Trial Business Development?  

      Making business decisions is easy when your data is targeted. Devana Solutions is the complete solution for clinical trials industry leaders who rely upon opportunities secured, as well as opportunities missed.  

      Are you taking aim at the right targets? Let’s find out!  

      Join us at Booth 512 to test your aim.  If you can hit the bullseye, you will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card. 

      Meet Devana the Huntress  

      In Slavic mythology, our namesake, Devana, translates to the Goddess of the Hunt, a fitting moniker since the Devana Solutions platform helps your business track clinical trial data from a high-level and focus on your target. 

      Devana, the huntress herself, will be attending the Opening Reception on Friday. Devana is a rebel with a love of freedom and an obsession for the hunt. We channel her rebellious nature with our disruptive technology. We invite you to stop by booth 512 for a chance to meet Devana and snag a photo with her for your social accounts. We could use a little light-hearted fun while discussing the serious nature of our business, after all.  

      On Saturday, October 2, there will be additional registration opportunities for the Summit, a breakfast, and another SCRS welcome before a day full of events.  

      The first we are excited about is Breakout Session I, What We Really Want: Site & Patient Input for Vendors with Respect to Technology, taking place at 1:30 PM.  

      What We Really Want: Site & Patient Input for Vendors with Respect to Technology  

      This will be a great session, as it’s focused on where technology will take the clinical trials industry.  Sites and patients will share their hopes and expectations for technology providers in the clinical research space. 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, alongside Mary Costello, Head of Site & Investigator Network, Medable, Inc.  

      The event will be facilitated by Doug Schantz, VP, Clinical Operations, Alexion Pharmaceuticals. 

      Trust-Building: Utilizing Your Data to Validate Your Site  

      Breakout Session II Trust-Building: Utilizing Your Data to Validate Your Site, another event we are eagerly anticipating, takes place at 3:00 PM.  

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

      With sponsors and CROs seeking increased visibility into sites’ potential patient access, gone are the days when studies were awarded based on site feasibility forms or site selection visits alone. 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.  

      Barry will be joined by Kerry Gorman, Director, Strategic Site Solutions, IQVIA and   

      Jeff Stein, President, Stamford Therapeutics Consortium.  

      As a 2021 Site Solutions Summit Premiere and Experience Sponsor, the entire Devana Solutions team is excited to see you at the SCRS Global Site Summit in Hollywood, Florida.     

      If you’d like to schedule an on-site demo with our team (and enter for a chance to win a $250 Amazon gift card), fill out your information below, and the Devana Solutions team will reach out to you prior to the Summit.  

      Have a question?  Ask it here too!  We love talking about data and processes to increase clinical trial efficiency and help make more informed business decisions.
