2022 SCRS Site Solutions Summit: The Power of Clinical Trial Software

September 30, 2022 by

The 2022 SCRS Site Solutions Summit is nearly here! A big topic this year will be how the industry can continue to extend the reach of clinical trials to new patients and markets. Our continued sponsorship of this event reflects our commitment to improving site solutions through new products and services both now and in the future. 

Join us at Booth 507 for a demo of our transformative software and don’t forget to join us for these other site-focused discussions as well! 

Bringing Clinical Trials to More Patients 

We first want to extend an invitation to Master Workshop III: Innovative Site Models to Bring Clinical Trials to Patients in their Communities on Friday, October 7 at 2:00pm: 

The COVID-19 pandemic and the urgent push for vaccine development and deployment across the U.S. and globally demanded a paradigm shift in how the public and private sectors worked together in Operation Warp Speed to develop effective vaccines in a compressed timeframe. In addition, gaps in access to healthcare and clinical trials across the diverse U.S. landscape required a fundamental rethinking of existing healthcare and clinical trial delivery models.  

Jennifer Byrne, CEO and Founder of Javara, and Josh Rose, VP, Head of Clinical Trial Delivery and Strategy of CVS Health Clinical Trial Services, are leaders of two organizations that were at the forefront of pioneering new delivery models during the pandemic’s most turbulent period. They will be joined by Clare Grace, Chief Patient Officer, of leading global CRO, Parexel, to form an all-star panel to explore how they are now strategically leading initiatives including a Community Alliance Network to address delivering access to clinical trials-as-a-care-option to a wider and more diverse array of patients in the communities at the point-of-care where they access healthcare. The workshop panel will be moderated by Barry Lake, CEO & Co-Founder of Devana Solutions, a leading provider of cloud technology to connect clinical research professionals to clinicians and patients in their communities.

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. Following the natural progression of a trial, the trial startup begins in Devana, flows through Clinical Conductor for clinical execution and research operations management, and then back to Devana for end-to-end business intelligence. 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.
