Enabling Oncology Site Success: Overcoming Administrative and Operational Barriers to Advance Cancer Research


Enabling Oncology Site Success: Overcoming Administrative and Operational Barriers to Advance Cancer Research
October 16 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
As part of Oncology Research Pulse, our new thought leadership initiative designed to foster collaboration that advances oncology research, we’re partnering with Fierce Pharma to explore how to overcome administrative and operational barriers in clinical research.
Oncology research sites are under growing pressure. Trial protocols are more and more complex, administrative demands are increasing, and staffing remains a persistent challenge. These issues slow study start-up, limit patient access, and strain the teams responsible for delivering research.
In this webinar, leaders from cancer centers and biopharma companies will discuss the operational and institutional hurdles sites face and what can be done to address them. The panel will explore practical strategies to reduce burden, improve collaboration, and create a better experience for research staff and patients alike.
Key Takeaways
- The most pressing administrative and operational challenges facing oncology sites
- How cancer centers are working to streamline processes and improve site capacity
- What sponsors can do to reduce site burden and better align with oncology research site needs
- Ways to improve the day-to-day experience for site staff without compromising quality
- Why enabling site success is essential to expanding access and accelerating research
