SITE SELECTION

Innovaderm’s Site Selection and Contracting team is built on the pillars of expediency, efficiency and quality. Start-up processes are optimized to provide the best results in the least amount of time. Our specialists target high quality sites as per your study design.


Innovaderm has an extensive network of sites with which we have established strong relationships throughout the years. As part of our site evaluation, our team utilizes past performance metrics, recruitment projections based on competitive landscape, and detailed feasibility surveys to determine a site‘s capabilities and interest in a study.


Throughout the process, the sponsor is kept apprised of the progress in site evaluation and selection.

We have a dedicated Patient Recruitment and Advertising team working alongside our project management team to build innovative strategies specifically tailored to your clinical trials. To ensure successful patient recruitment, we:


  • create enrollment projections based on efficient site communications and study timelines;
  • assist sites in optimizing their enrollment activities by using a multichannel approach centred on effective advertising platforms and centralized online campaigns;
  • develop advertisement creatives that connect with the targeted subject population;
  • provide guidance in patient recruitment and best advertising practices for sponsors and sites;
