NEW, FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND FEATURE:

The Industry’s Only Site-Facing Milestone Tracker for Study Startup

Guided Site Journeys — A Unified, Bidirectional Study Startup Experience for All

Advarra’s latest enhancement to its Study Collaboration solution introduces guided site journeys, a first-of-its-kind, site-facing milestone tracker developed in close partnership with research sites across Advarra’s global network. This purpose-built functionality enables sites to manage their study activation tasks with greater clarity and structure—while giving clinical operations and startup teams at sponsors and CROs a unified, real-time view of progress.

By aligning stakeholders around a single source of truth, guided site journeys reduces clinical trial delays, improves transparency, and drives operational efficiency from the very start.

Get a sneak peek

This release follows the integration of Advarra’s eIRB system, CIRBI®, with the Study Collaboration solution, which gives sponsors and CROs an automated link between IRB approval status and clinical trial startup workflows and provides a single view to track milestone progress—from site selection to First-Patient-In (FPI).

Join us for a live, 30 minute demo on August 21 to see guided site journeys in action.

“Study startup has long felt like a black box, but now, with Advarra’s Study Collaboration solution, we can open that box and give everyone on the study team—whether from the site, sponsor, or CRO side—the same view of clinical trial activation. With this new level of transparency, collaboration becomes easier, timelines become clearer, and we can focus less on managing communication and more on activating studies and enrolling patients.”

We are Faster Together

Study startup is a relay race that requires smooth handoffs between stakeholders to move forward as efficiently and compliantly as possible. But sites often bear the burden of redundant requests and process. As the trusted technology provider for leading academic medical centers, cancer centers, site networks, and health systems, we’ve seen what sites can achieve when they’re enabled to collaborate across sponsors, CROs, and vendor partners.

When we remove barriers to visibility and communication that often occurs between site and sponsors, we can speed up study startup. Advarra helps to streamline handoffs for feasibility assessments, document exchange, training, and milestone tracking, making collaboration more seamless and less redundant for every stakeholder. Together, we’re making strides in study startup collaboration. We’re #FasterTogether.

When Startup is Faster, Enrollment Starts Sooner

Improve Visibility

Lack of connectivity across stakeholders, systems, and spreadsheets requires too many manual updates, without real-time insight into true progress across sites and studies.

Reduce Tech Burden

Sites report setup and training on sponsor technology as very burdensome, creating the biggest challenge among all startup activities.

Optimize Enrollment Plans

Too often enrollment progress only begins after activation. How can enrollment planning and startup work in tandem to ensure sites are prepared and ready to execute the trial as soon as possible?
