FutureMeds Joins Fortrea’s New Site Advisory Board

Fortrea brings experienced sites, investigators and technology providers together to support trial planning and drive changes that will improve the speed of trial execution, ease study start-up, increase recruitment efficiency and ultimately meet Sponsors' pipeline development needs effectively while boosting patient experience.



The inaugural meeting of Fortrea's New Site Advisory Board took place on December 8, 2023. To evolve the site, sponsor and patient relationships and to improve patient experience, the board will target changes in technology, operational delivery, commercial terms and community engagement.


By putting sites and investigators at the forefront of clinical trial planning, and leveraging their perspectives, Fortrea’s Site Advisory Board aims to drive changes that will improve the speed of trial execution, ease study start up, and increase recruitment efficiency. The board will be responsible for providing insights and feedback on proposed strategies and solutions related to sites, patients, trial operations, and relevant technology, enabling Sponsors to meet their pipeline development needs effectively.


“Incorporating the perspectives and voice of patients, investigators, and sites and leveraging their valuable insights in the planning process will put Fortrea in a pole position to bring new therapies to the market. We are honoured to join other leading industry experts and Mike Clay’s team and work together to address persisting challenges in clinical research.” 

Dr Radoslaw Janiak, CEO at FutureMeds

 


“FutureMeds is delighted to join Fortrea’s Site Advisory Board, which aims to build better understanding between key stakeholders in the clinical research industry and boost patient and client outcomes.” added the CEO at FutureMeds.



About the Site Advisory Board


Fortrea focuses on delivering customised solutions that provide strategic flexibility and operational focus, enabling their clients to meet their pipeline development needs effectively. ‘Working with investigators and sites to help the industry solve the last-mile challenges of patient engagement and operational delivery is a foundation of this strategy,’ states Fortrea’s press release.


“Sites are critical to the industry at every stage of clinical development, and they traditionally have faced hard-to-solve challenges in clinical trials alone. We welcome their insights in protocol design and actively engage them in early conversations with our operational teams and sponsors to quickly establish the most efficient, patient-focused trial plans.”

“The formation of the Site Advisory Board marks an acceleration of our site-focused strategy and includes representation from incredibly impressive leaders, creating a think tank for our industry. The Board will also serve as a cornerstone of our ability to respond to sponsors with confidence and speed, working together to develop efficient operational plans and provide sponsors with a high degree of confidence in speed of patient recruitment and overall trial delivery.”
