March 10, 2022 by

A new interface between Devana’s IGNITE and PROPEL products and Advarra’s Cloud-Based Clinical Trial Management System establishes an end-to-end solution for efficient research conduct and world-class business intelligence.

CHAPEL HILL, NC (March 10, 2022) – Devana Solutions is pleased to announce a new, at scale CTMS- integration solution for research organizations utilizing Advarra’s Clinical Conductor Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS), improving efficiency, and providing research sites with actionable insights across their entire research portfolio.

The Devana <-> Advarra integration is a dynamic, bi-directional data and process flow between Devana’s IGNITE and PROPEL products, and Advarra’s industry-leading Clinical Conductor CTMS.

Enrollment performance metrics are derived automatically and pulled into the Devana system as research teams are interacting with Clinical Conductor, reducing duplicative workflows within the systems.

The robust and sought-after analytics, available within the Devana systems, offer configurable views to analyze performance data, by trial or indication, by site, or organization-wide. Combined with Clinical Conductor’s ability to optimize operational finances, regulatory compliance, and overall operational workflows, these integrated products provide a seamless, comprehensive, clinical research solution. After a very thorough and thoughtful technical approach, the Devana <-> Advarra CTMS integration is now live for all Clinical Conductor customers.

“At Devana Solutions, we have always prided ourselves in listening to our clients and being attentive to their needs,” explained Barry Lake, Devana Solutions’ CEO. “So, when the leadership at highly-valued client-partners, Javara Research and Velocity Clinical Research, encouraged an API-integration with Advarra’s Clinical Conductor CTMS to better support their study teams, we were eager to explore it.”

“We were pleased to work closely with the team at Advarra and the integration of both systems has increased our clients’ operational efficiency. We look forward to deploying the connection for the benefit of additional mutual clients. Working together, as an industry, we can and will move mountains!” added Lake.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Devana and our customers on this innovative interface,” said James Wurdeman, Chief Product Officer at Advarra. “Devana’s approach to developing this integration aligns with our philosophy of creating site-centric, open, customer-focused technology solutions that can be integrated with enterprise systems across a research site or site network.”

Devana Solutions now boasts integrations with several leading CTMS technologies on the market. These integrations speak to more than just added convenience and increased efficiencies; they’re speeding up the clinical trial process resulting in improved clinical outcomes and therapies to patients.

Accel Research Sites makes clinical trials more accessible with Devana Solutions’ PROPEL platform

March 7, 2022 by

Chapel Hill (February 22, 2022) – Accel Research Sites is bringing clinical trials to even more patients, right where they live and work, thanks to an industry-leading clinical trial platform from Devana Solutions.

Accel is the latest clinical trial network to convert to Devana’s PROPEL Enterprise Platform, which will help the organization connect central teams to site-based staff and clinicians. The company previously used Devana’s IGNITE platform to automate workflow at the start of studies and to gain insight into performance metrics.

“PROPEL literally brings the site to the patient,” according to Barry Lake, Devana Solutions’ CEO and Co-Founder. “Like most leading research site networks, our Accel client-partner has used our IGNITE technology to standardize the trial startup workflows and analytics for their central operations team but, with PROPEL, Accel’s clin-ops professionals collaborate in a common cloud with their site-based colleagues, providing patients with access to trials in the communities where they live and work. We are thrilled that the team at Accel is leading this transformational shift.”

Accel will use PROPEL to connect the centralized management team in Florida with clinicians across 24 sites. With the shift from IGNITE, Accel will see increased efficiencies and precision around site selection, as well as faster site startup and exceptional trial execution.

“When the pandemic hit, we at Accel had to reimagine many of our normal processes so we could both help with the global health crisis and continue to keep our participants healthy and safe,” said Lora Parahovnik, CEO. “Working with Devana has helped us become more efficient. We’re looking forward to continuing to push forward in clinical trial operations by leaning on a cutting-edge platform like PROPEL.”

Devana Solutions is a market leader in clinical trial SaaS for study startup automation, metrics capture and analytics. Accel has been a partner since 2019, recently moving to the PROPEL platform as the company has grown.

Devana Brings Cloud-Based Collaboration to Clinical Trial Central Research Teams

February 14, 2022 by

Bringing Cloud-Based Collaboration to Clinical Trial Central Research TeamsThe pandemic has had a significant impact on the clinical research industry. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory authorities have been calling for an increased adoption of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). Devana Solutions has been pivotal during this time, helping central research operations teams collaborate safely and remotely on our platform and connect to decentralized site staff serving patients in underserved communities.

As a result, our PROPEL cloud solution has taken off as the superior research site-operations and analytics platform for leading research organizations, conducting decentralized trials, around the globe.

The Benefits of Decentralized Trials

More research organizations are moving to a decentralized trial model because they found success reaching new patients during the pandemic, as patients opted to stay home or avoid massive health care centers as part of their social distancing efforts.

Other advantages of decentralized trials include:

  • Accelerated patient access
  • Improved patient engagement and retention
  • Increased diversity

Challenge: Communication and Exchange of Data

One of the challenges that sites faced as they moved to decentralized trials was the ability to communicate and share data. These teams used to operate alongside the central research operations teams, but now they were operating in alternate locations.

Where central research operations teams had unlimited access to on-premise data and the ease of connecting with someone in-house, they were forced to operate through delayed communication or shared spreadsheets.

The Answer: Devana Solutions

Devana Solutions provided these teams with customized cloud software that brings clinical research sites to patients in these underserved communities so they can benefit from clinical research as a care option.

Devana’s cloud technology also allows highly-skilled research operations professionals to share protocols and other supporting trial documentation with decentralized sites and community-based providers.

More importantly, Devana allows centralized researchers to collaborate with the sites during study start-up and through trial completion, regardless of the trial location.

The future of clinical research is bright. As the industry continues to evolve, Devana Solutions’ capabilities will evolve, as well.

By leveraging the cloud to connect central research operations professionals with site-based clinicians and staff for real-time, clinical trial collaboration, it provides easy access to all of the information on trials, sites, users, and contacts at your organizational level. Organizations such as Velocity Clinical Research use PROPEL to create cohesive operations and improve efficiency within their organization and accelerate study startup.

What you may not be familiar with, however, is LYNK—the site-facing extension of the PROPEL platform that expands the capabilities to key site-level staff. LYNK takes PROPEL one step further, giving sites even more ways to streamline processes and increase efficiency. LYNK is the sites’ personalized interface that allows them to receive and respond to trial opportunities and quickly and easily complete feasibility assessments.

Manage Clinical Trial Opportunities

The LYNK interface will automatically notify the sites when a new clinical trial opportunity is sent by the central team. The site LYNK user can review the specifics of each trial, determine which investigator is best for the project, and instantly provide information that is necessary to complete the feasibility assessment. LYNK’s investigator profiles store all vital documents for the sites’ investigators, such as medical licenses, CVs, and training certificates. With LYNK, sites won’t need to sift through emails, document folders, or physical files, because all of this necessary information is located in one place.

Simplify Feasibility Questionnaires

Thanks to LYNK, the cumbersome feasibility process is simplified. Available in the LYNK dashboard, sites can view any outstanding feasibility questionnaires, which will auto populate with the previously answered, common information that is also found in their site’s profile, including contact information, on-site equipment and staff, and specific areas of therapeutic experience. Because LYNK stores all of the necessary data in site profiles, sites won’t need to search for the information in documents and spreadsheets—it’s available instantly.

These are just a couple of ways LYNK works seamlessly in conjunction with PROPEL, providing benefits not only to the greater research organization but to the sites, as well. Book a demo with Devana Solutions today to discover what LYNK can do to take your sites’ clinical trial management to the next level.

Clinical trials have evolved in recent years. There are now more decentralized clinical trials than ever before, thanks to the adoption of cutting-edge technologies. However, in order for these trials to be successful from the beginning, it is essential to select the right tech stack. This can be daunting, but don’t worry; the team at Devana Solutions, a clinical trial software platform, is here to help! Here are the key considerations when selecting your clinical trial technology.

During the pandemic, the industry accelerated its growing adoption of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). This allowed sites to expand their reach and diversify their patient selection. This approach offers several advantages over traditional clinical trials, including:
