Despite rapid advances in trial complexity and technology, site selection strategies haven’t kept pace. Most CROs and sponsors still rely on outdated feasibility surveys, static spreadsheets and known investigator relationships, often missing out on sites that are ready and able to deliver today.
This webinar examines how real-world site performance is evolving and why it’s time to modernize how we assess site performance capabilities. The speakers will break down the limitations of traditional feasibility data, explore the metrics that matter most now and show how forward-thinking sites are proactively shaping their own visibility in a competitive market.
Join the featured speakers to explore:
- The limitations of traditional site selection methods and how they miss opportunities for better-performing sites
- Insights into the dynamic nature of site visibility and why sites must take a proactive approach to stand out in a competitive market
- How the right data can transform site selection from a reactive process to a strategic, informed decision-making tool
- The practical steps CROs and sponsors can take to modernize site assessment and reduce costly delays in trial start-up
Register now to uncover how evolving site selection strategies and data-driven metrics can enhance trial efficiency and outcomes in 2025.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, while many talked about decentralized clinical trials (DCT), Devana took action by building a cloud platform to host and scale DCTs. The platform allows centralized clinical operations teams at site networks, CROs and sponsors to collaborate with decentralized site-based clinicians globally.
Devana’s latest innovation, TrialAlign, set to be released in 2025, will leverage unbiased trial performance data to transform feasibility and site selection. By connecting and operationally aligning trial sites, sponsors and CROs, it will reduce cycle time and enhance clinical trial execution, speeding up therapeutic advances for patients.
