Streamline Clinical Trials with InvestigatorSpace®: Harmonized Safety Report Distribution and Training

In the ever-evolving landscape of clinical research, sponsors and CROs face numerous safety challenges across studies, from navigating complex country-specific and local regulations to managing multiple systems and technologies at clinical trial sites. The need for an efficient and streamlined solution becomes paramount to bridge gaps. Here, we explore how a centralized safety solution can harmonize site technology for clinical trial stakeholders, revolutionize precision safety report distribution, and the added benefit of unified training for clinical staff.

The Burden of Multiple Systems and Ever-Evolving Regulations

Clinical trial sites are often tasked with managing multiple systems and logins. The diversity of these systems across studies adds complexity to the workflow, leading to the over-distribution and underreporting of safety events. Moreover, in large clinical trials, sponsors must stay updated with hundreds of evolving country-specific rules. Distributing safety events (SUSARs, AEs, and SAEs) must align with each country’s unique requirements. Sponsors must identify any challenges and offer a solution that simplifies these complexities to achieve their study goals.

Evolving Regulations and Site Challenges

The clinical research landscape is in a state of constant flux. Ever-changing regulations and complex trials pose significant challenges for clinical sites. According to WCG’s 2023 Clinical Research Site Challenges Survey Report, 36% of sites reported trial complexities as a top issue. Also evident is technology’s growing prominence, with 18% emphasizing importance in 2023 compared to 10% in 2022. This shift can be attributed to staff training, increased time requirements for managing multiple systems and technologies, and the looming threat of cybersecurity in healthcare organizations. 

The industry is recognizing and embracing technology as a solution to enhance efficiency in clinical trial safety.
