PROPEL Spring ’23 Update

Get ready for an exhilarating update to PROPEL! The Spring ’23 Update brings a plethora of enhancements, refinements, and additions to the platform designed to improve and streamline the user experience system wide with a heavy focus on Trials and Trial Management.  

PROPEL’s latest release is all about optimizing glanceability and improving workflows while prioritizing the information that means the most, from harmonized field names to a new glossary for credentials and the release of Trialstones. The theme underlining the entire release can be summed up as “Trials” – which have been given a complete makeover, including new Trialstones, streamlined tabs and fields, and a progress bar to keep track of trial status. 

What’s New? 

The user interface (UI) has been updated and enhanced across several areas of the platform so everything can be quickly absorbed at a glance. A key part of the updated UI is the new progress bar, which clearly shows what stage a trial is currently in. New, more visually compelling monitoring tiles have replaced checklists in various places, making content more scannable and insights digestible. See below for a look at the new real-time progress bar and pre-award Trialstones tiles.  

PROPEL Trial page with new progress bar and pre-award Trialstones.

What’s a Trialstone, you ask? Pre- and post-award trial milestones are now known as Trialstones throughout the platform. When sites complete Trialstones such as CDA Executed or PSV Complete, this information will be updated across the system – including advancing the trial stage in the new progress bar. Users can track and manage Trialstones directly from any trial page within PROPEL for improved workflows. With the new update, Trialstones can also be updated for multiple sites at once to save time.  

Another great new feature coming in this update is that trials can now be marked as high priority. Making a trial high priority adds a red star to the list view, clearly calling out trials which have been flagged. This new feature allows central team users to delineate which opportunities and trials sites should focus on first. 

We’ve only covered some of the broader highlights, but the Spring 2023 Update brings a lot of exciting new quality of life changes to PROPEL and LYNK. Full release notes and training materials have already been made available to our existing partner-clients. If you’re interested in learning more, please contact us today and we’d be happy to give you a demo of our game-changing platform. 

Devana’s product development pipeline has more exciting updates and features coming soon, so stay tuned!

Accelerate Study Cycle Times with Clinical Trial Software for CROs

In our post-pandemic world, contract research organizations (CROs) face more challenges than ever. With greater competition, market consolidation, and a growing emphasis on site empowerment, the CRO market is in a state of flux. Only those willing to be flexible as they apply learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath are likely to come out ahead.   

One of the key takeaways from the COVID-19 pandemic applied throughout the clinical trial industry is to invest in mission-critical technology. Devana Solutions’ category-defining PROPEL platform offers improved site selection, real-time communication, and site collaboration. PROPEL provides process and performance transparency while automating workflows, accelerating cycle times, and reducing the overall workload for CROs and sites. 

Improved Site Selection 

PROPEL Site Query Functionality

CROs have long relied on manual, time-consuming processes to identify the most suitable sites for new clinical trials. With PROPEL, we’ve eliminated this outdated approach. 

PROPEL enables CROs to perform targeted queries to determine suitable sites for new trials. Find the most effective sites in real-time by digitally querying site capabilities based on therapeutic expertise, physical site facilities, investigator and staff certifications, and more. PROPEL automatically stores site and investigator performance and capabilities data to share with sponsors or use for future trials.  

With PROPEL, CROs can be confident in the sites they’ve selected when reporting back to sponsors with progress updates. 

Real-Time Collaboration 

When you have a clinical trial underway, it’s important to have a tool that makes it easy for you to share information with sites—and receive real-time responses. 

Forget endless follow-up emails, calls, and meetings. Instead, push out mass communications or individually tag relevant users or site teams, alerting them of new trial opportunities, updates, or queries. PROPEL’s threaded chat conversations allow CROs and sites to pose questions, share documents, and provide updates. Real-time feedback from sites, such as if there are too many inclusion/exclusion criteria or more realistic estimates for patient enrollment, can help CROs with sponsor bid defenses. Sites can also ask questions and share documents via the same channels—keeping everyone in the loop throughout the entire clinical trial process.  

With PROPEL, CROs also gain insights into other site organizations already using PROPEL, including two of the largest site networks and the largest site organization in the world. 

Performance Transparency 

 

PROPEL Site Activity Dashboard

When running clinical trials, you need to be able to track and analyze current and historical metrics. This is where PROPEL comes in. 

Tracking current and historical trial metrics with PROPEL’s dashboards and reports can help CROs win more sponsor bid defenses by quantifying past successes and showcasing real-time updates for trials currently running. Key data generated throughout the clinical trial process is automatically stored within PROPEL and can be accessed via custom reports and visualizations whenever needed. Know exactly how a trial progresses from site selection to completion with real-time data capture and analysis. Identify bottlenecks in terms of site responses, patient enrollment, and more so you can step in and provide targeted support where needed.  

Sharing the latest data anytime with stakeholders and sponsors is critical to accelerating cycle times and mitigating bottlenecks and risks.

3 Key Differences Between PROPEL and CTMS

High staff turnover and burnout have been trending topics in the clinical trials industry over the last year. The goal of successful clinical trials is to get new treatments to market as quickly and safely as possible; however, the process from study startup to study completion is lengthy, and staff turnover causes disruption. With the right technology, standard pre-enrollment steps can be streamlined, automated, and accelerated across your site or site network—ensuring business intelligence is neither overlooked nor forgotten as staffing situations change. 

Furthermore, speeding up the pre-enrollment process can help increase diversity in clinical trials by onboarding sites faster, making your organization look more attractive to sponsors and CROs. 

PROPEL vs. CTMS 

A traditional clinical trial management system (CTMS) is designed to manage patient recruitment, scheduling, and study finances. But if you’re only using a CTMS, it can be hard to proficiently track enrollment and site activity, trial opportunities, timing, and performance across your entire clinical trial operations.   

Fig.1 Unique within the clinical trials industry, PROPEL is an all-inclusive pipeline, startup, trial intelligence, and automation system.

Built for clinical trials, the Devana Solutions tech suitewhich includes PROPEL for site networks and LYNK UP for single or emerging sitesis uniquely different from a CTMS. On average, site networks save almost 30 hours of time per week and increase revenue by 40% throughout the end-to-end clinical trial process with PROPEL’s improved workflows, study startup automation, and seamless integrations with popular CTMS and other mission-critical systems for end-to-end operational excellence. With PROPEL, information silos are replaced with organization-wide visibility into trial data and operations. While your CTMS is triggered at recruitment or post-enrollment, PROPEL is involved from initial pipeline management all the way through to study completion and analysis.  

1. Study Startup Automation  

PROPEL and LYNK UP are comprehensive solutions that optimize study startup and performance. Unlike a CTMS, Devana’s category-defining technology allows you to automate your pipeline of trials and your study startup. This allows users to seamlessly track and update milestones throughout the entire startup process. PROPEL transforms the pre-enrollment and study startup process in addition to providing wrap-around reporting every step of the way.   

2. Advanced Custom Analytics & Reporting (from initial pipeline management to study completion) 

Although CTMS includes metrics such as study enrollment, visit tracking, and protocol deviation logs, they do not include other essential insights that give you a comprehensive view of your organization. With PROPEL and LYNK UP, users can leverage additional key metrics such as turnaround timing, study opportunities, and overall study performance reports—enabling you to quickly identify and address bottlenecks to boost startup efficiency and trial performance. PROPEL includes custom dashboards and reports to easily see and share real-time performance metrics by sponsor, CRO, site, indication, and more.  

3. 360-degree View of Your Clinical Trial Operations 

As opposed to a stand-alone CTMS, PROPEL and LYNK UP enable sites to store everything related to ongoing and historical trials all in one place. Now, you can attach documents, emails, call logs, and more to individual study records—saving time and eliminating needless email chains, calls, and meetings. Custom tasks, alerts, and real-time threaded chat conversations facilitate cross-functional communication for both central and remote teams. With PROPEL and LYNK UP, teams can improve workflows, freeing staff from repetitive tasks and multiple clunky systems so they can focus on winning new opportunities. 

See a full breakdown of how PROPEL compares to a CTMS. 

Seamless Integrations with Industry-Leading CTMS 

PROPEL works in conjunction with your preferred CTMS to provide reporting and analytics across the entire clinical trial process. Data points entered into either system are automatically synchronized across both platforms—cutting out duplicate data entry, boosting efficiency, and decreasing clinical trial cycle times. And because your data is securely stored in one place, drilling down into study and site-specific data and performance insights is simple. 

But PROPEL’s integrations don’t stop at your CTMS. From contact management to email marketing, our open API gives you the power to integrate the tools your team is already using to be successful. Now you can truly have access to all the data and information you need—all in one place.  

From start to finish, PROPEL speeds up the entire clinical trial process, ultimately allowing your organization to respond to more trials and win more of the right awards.

Navigating the Great Resignation Within the Clinical Trial Industry

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a record 4.5 million workers quit their jobs in March 2022—a trend that has continued through the summer. Paired with rising inflation costs, this so-called “Great Resignation” is straining the clinical trial industry like never before. Turnover for both patient-facing and operations staff has been on the rise, causing some trials to come to a screeching halt.  

Clinical trial software such as Devana Solutions PROPEL can help central research operations save time and money by improving workflows and streamlining pipeline management.  

Streamline Processes with Clinical Trial Software 

With high turnover comes frequent regulatory and staff updates, including updating logs, gathering new signatures, and amending databases. Designed specifically for the clinical trial industry, PROPEL provides technological support for various backend workflows, including data entry, reporting, admin support, enrollment, query resolutions, and communications. Say goodbye to duplicate data entry! 

PROPEL enables users to automate tasks and reminders to expedite study start-up and ensure that nothing is overlooked or forgotten as staffing situations change. Teams can also link multiple contacts, documents, and communications across each clinical trial to save time and improve performance visibility. For end-to-end operational excellence, PROPEL integrates with other mission-critical systems, such as your CTMS and Microsoft Outlook. Instead of hunting for lost communications caused by staff turnover, PROPEL creates threaded conversations and allows users to attach documents, link related calls, and even send emails and messages directly from within the platform. 

Utilizing PROPEL, operations professionals can query site capabilities based on therapeutic expertise, investigator and staff certifications, physical site facilities, and more. This enables teams to efficiently share protocols digitally and distribute trial opportunities and documentation to study teams without the need for external communications or cumbersome old databases, saving both time and money. In addition, PROPEL is entirely cloud-based, which makes it simple for remote and decentralized users to log in and execute. 

Specifically designed for efficiency, PROPEL enables teams impacted by turnover and decreased budgets to accomplish more with less.

Effectively Manage Decentralized Sites with Clinical Trial Software

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more organizations have been exploring the possibilities of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). Decentralized trials have many benefits, including accelerated patient access, improved patient engagement and retention, and increased diversity. Unfortunately, these benefits also come with challenges such as reduced collaboration and limited data access.

Clinical trial software such as Devana Solutions PROPEL can help central research operations connect to decentralized site staff during study startup through trial completion, regardless of site location.

Increase Collaboration, Data-Sharing, and Visibility Across DCTs

Devana Solution’s cloud-based software seamlessly and securely connects central research sites, CROs, Sponsors, and decentralized sites, facilitating real-time collaboration and sharing of data. Our solutions allow research operations professionals to share protocols, contracts, budgets, and other supporting trial documentation with decentralized sites, speeding study startup and improving visibility across the trial’s network.

Forget managing cumbersome emails, phone calls, and lengthy meetings—central teams can communicate directly to sites within PROPEL, and all correspondence is logged for future reference. Sites can also update their key milestones via our LYNK interface, ensuring the central team is always aware of the status of the trial. Central research teams can even assign tasks to sites and view what has been completed and remains outstanding.

Instead of manually searching for opportunities or site-specific details, PROPEL allows users to query all sites, filter key data, and collate opportunities. Customizable dashboards and reports provide real-time visibility and help centralized and site-based decision-makers gain actionable insights. The Devana Solutions platform can connect every functional group in a network’s entire organization, from business development and regulatory to finance and leadership.

By leveraging the cloud to connect central teams with site-based clinicians and staff for real-time collaboration, PROPEL provides easy access and visibility to trial, site, user, and contact data across your network—helping to bridge data gaps, secure more trial opportunities, hit more targets, and win more awards.
