"There are 22 different systems that a site needs to log into on an oncology study. We have to find a way to make it simpler for them, and I see ACRP being that connector." Elisa Cascade, Chief Product Officer at Advarra, highlights a Clinical Researcher article published in the June 2024 edition which notes that U.S. clinical research is expanding due to new technologies, but faces challenges in patient recruitment and administrative burdens that could be eased by Single Sign-On solutions.

More systems requires additional staff time. Unfortunately, funding is very limited and sites often get kick back from sponsors for staff time and effort. There are lots of unknowns during startup and contract negotiations. Transparency from sponsors will help sites become better prepared and staffed appropriately to manage the required systems.
Thank you for advocating streamlining of systems in clinical trials. As a CRC, have various systems to put information in allows for human error and takes time away from patients, enrollment and QCing.
Simplifying access for sites is crucial for advancing clinical research. Looking forward to reading more about the solutions highlighted by Elisa Cascade and Advarra.
Always interesting to hear you Elisa Cascade! Regards from Spain

1moAnd if you really think about it it goes beyond sites. Many monitors must log into the same systems to efficiently perform their jobs. And then Auditors follow the same path. Regulators may be forced to access all of these systems as well. We must find a better way!
