Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS) are software platforms that provide clinical research sites and research study staff with the ability to manage all operational aspects of a clinical trial, both at the study protocol level and participant level. A CTMS platform can help streamline study start-up processes, provide real-time visibility into the status of a study, improve collaboration through automated workflows, and optimize financial management processes.
How can clinical trial sites decrease the most common noncompliance issues cited in regulatory inspections? It’s a big challenge to sites of all types, and one with major impacts on the safe, ethical, and efficient conduct of life-enhancing drug and device studies.
The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP), the trusted global authority for training clinical research professionals, announced today a strategic partnership with ScienceMedia, a global SaaS clinical trial training solution provider.
ACRP strongly encouraged the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to recognize the distinct role of clinical research by introducing a new detailed SOC Code under the Healthcare Professionals classification. This SOC Code will improve visibility and recognition of this occupation, helping to track and address the current severe shortage of qualified clinical researchers and advance medical research to the benefit of public health.
Expert speakers attending ACRP 2025 in New Orleans next April offer a path out of the recruitment murkiness and into the light in their session on “Best Advertising Practices and Partnerships for Patient Recruitment Success.” This diverse group will present perspectives from sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), sites, and IRBs.
