Speed Up Your Research Site Organization’s Turnaround Times 

November 2, 2023 by

Regardless of size and type, clinical research site organizations compete for trial opportunities from CROs and sponsors. There are many factors that can make a site stand out amongst the crowd, but turnaround times for key items may be one of the larger deciding factors. CROs and sponsors want to get trials up and running as quickly as possible and demonstrating that your organization has a history of turning things around quickly can make you stand out.

Designed specifically for the clinical trial industry, PROPEL accelerates workflows and automatically captures and records turnaround timing and performance metrics along the way.

Accelerated Workflows 

Speed matters in clinical trials. That’s why PROPEL accelerates every step of the clinical trial process – from pipeline management to study startup and beyond. Optimize execution with standardized processes that offer full visibility into current and next steps across your organization, saving time and reducing the risk of things slipping through the cracks or getting delayed.  

Once a trial begins enrollment, it’s hard to speed things up. That’s why it’s important to accelerate those tasks which can be sped up, saving time and manpower for other critical areas of focus such as patient recruitment and enrollment. Designed to streamline every process possible, PROPEL eliminates many repetitive tasks, including data entry into a myriad of systems or sending countless emails to update sites. Instead, PROPEL’s seamless integrations allow you to enter data only once, while real-time collaboration tools foster easy communication with sites. Tracking trial milestones is also made easier, allowing sites and central teams alike to update progress, share key documents, and alert others to any roadblocks or questions.  

And, as trials move through the system, PROPEL automatically tracks turnaround times for activities such as business development, study startup, site-based milestones, and more – allowing you to see patterns and make informed decisions.  

Process and Performance Transparency 

PROPEL Site Activity Dashboard 

Data transparency is critical to effective clinical trial management. PROPEL was engineered with proprietary algorithms that automatically capture hundreds of process and performance metrics by indication, site, PI, trial, and more. In fact, every data point within PROPEL is reportable – allowing users to create custom dashboards and reports to analyze and share with key stakeholders.  

PROPEL’s cloud-based platform allows central teams to collaborate with site-based study teams in real time. Gain insight into your entire organization’s trial process and data from start to finish as it happens, allowing you to drive buy-in and accountability across the board. Effortlessly monitor the latest metrics on trial status, site activity, patient enrollment, and more – allowing central team members to take swift action based on the most up-to-date site activities and enrollment data, leading to faster decision-making and improved trial outcomes. This data can then improve the overall trial process by matching the right sites and investigators with the trials that best suit their capabilities and location. Once the proper teams are aligned, you’ll experience an increase in trial performance, reducing cycle times and allowing you to better predict future performance. 

Improve turnaround times and stand out to CROs and sponsors with PROPEL’s powerful workflow improvements and data analytics.

Accelerate the Clinical Trial Process

August 23, 2023 by

Clinical trials are essential for advancing medical research and bringing new treatments to patients. However, the complexity involved in organizing and managing these trials can often result in delays and inefficiencies. To overcome these challenges and accelerate the clinical trial process, it is crucial to focus on streamlining efficiency and collaboration among the multiple teams and tools involved.

Purpose-built specifically for the clinical trial industry, PROPEL empowers organizations to manage the entire clinical trial process easily and efficiently – from pipeline and study startup through trial completion and analysis.

Pipeline Management 

PROPEL offers a robust platform for pipeline management, allowing Business Development team members to easily input and track new trial opportunities from both CROs and sponsors. By logging calls and emails related to these opportunities, PROPEL provides a comprehensive overview of touchpoints and progress. This not only streamlines the process but also improves visibility for leadership and other team members. 

With PROPEL’s powerful dashboards and data management, users can quickly create custom reports and data visualizations to share with key stakeholders. Easily break down past and current trial statistics by indication, site, investigator, and beyond. This powerful data analysis can help your organization win more trial opportunities by showing both historic successes and real-time insights into currently running trials.  

Site Selection and Feasibility 

Selecting the correct sites for any given trial is an important step of the process. You want to ensure the best possible outcome in terms of enrollment, timing, and overall results. PROPEL’s precision query feature allows you to select the most appropriate sites based on both site and investigator criteria, including capabilities, equipment, therapeutic specialties, and more. Once the best sites have been selected, you can send the trial opportunity directly within the platform and receive real-time responses in return. PROPEL’s threaded chat conversations allow central and site-based teams to correspond back and forth – eliminating the need for follow-up calls or emails to field questions and share documents. As sites respond to opportunities and begin the pre-award process, PROPEL automatically records their responses and turnaround timing metrics.  

PROPEL Pre-Award Trialstones 

As the pre-award process begins, PROPEL tracks site milestones as they progress through the stages. Using PROPEL’s Survey Feature, Feasibility team members can create and distribute pre-feasibility and other types of surveys to sites. Once sent, they have real-time visibility into who has completed a survey, who hasn’t, and those who stopped midway. Monitor responses and send custom reminder alerts to prompt sites to complete open surveys. Based on responses, trials can continue to progress at the most suitable sites. 

Study Startup 

Once a trial is awarded to a site, PROPEL makes it easy to follow their progress with improved trial management and monitoring. Track site activity and key post-award milestones including contract, budget, and regulatory stages as sites progress through the study startup process. Central team members can assign custom tasks and alerts to specific users to keep things moving smoothly whenever they see a slowdown or bottleneck.  

To reduce headaches and improve workflow, PROPEL keeps all trial-related documents and communication in one place. Documents such as budget and protocol amendments can be attached to specific trials or site activity records, and central team members can send out updates and alerts directly within the system. Real-time collaboration between central operations and site-based staff is made easy using PROPEL’s chat feed or linked email correspondence. Keep everyone in the loop on the latest updates while also making communication trackable and reportable.  

Screening and Enrollment 

PROPEL Enrollment Dashboard 

Upon site activation and the beginning of patient enrollment, PROPEL continues to track progress by integrating with the leading CTMS solutions to monitor site enrollment. PROPEL works in conjunction with your preferred CTMS to eliminate duplicate data entry and provide total trial oversight. Operations and Enrollment team members can monitor enrollment progress across all sites and trials in real time to see which are enrolling successfully and which are struggling. And unlike using a CTMS alone, PROPEL allows you to drill down into specific metrics with powerful reporting by trial, site, or organization. 

Performance Insights 

Throughout the clinical trial process, PROPEL captures real-time metrics every step of the way, providing full-cycle, wrap-around performance insights and data analytics. Using customizable reports and dashboards, users gain powerful insights into turnaround timing, enrollment progress, and overall performance.  

After a trial is completed, PROPEL enables central operations and leadership teams to dig into past performance to help with future projections and predictions. Report on historical enrollment performance segmented by indication, contract percentage, and other trial characteristics. Use these insights to make future decisions during site selection and share them with CROs and sponsors to help win more trial opportunities.
