PROJECT TRAINING
Initiation visits and GCP training are an integral part of every clinical trial. Nevertheless, trial centers can vary significantly in their practical readiness and the qualifications of their staff. Large parts of the study teams and their practical needs are not covered in established study training courses. Differences in the qualification levels of the study personnel at the trial centers therefore repeatedly lead to an inhomogeneous and inconsistent implementation of the protocol.
Ready to go
Camovis’ Project Training Service offers practical, study-specific training for Study Nurses and coordinators. Our goal: to ensure consistent, protocol-compliant implementation of your clinical trial in all trial centers, right from the start.
A smooth study start begins with a customized kick-off meeting with the study team. You can choose between an on-site or virtual meeting, but in any case, it will be concrete and practical, with a clear focus on study-specific processes and foreseeable pitfalls. After an initial phase, Q&A sessions for the team are supplemented by our project-specific hotline and flexible team support. The study teams can reach their Camovis contacts directly by email and phone, even around the clock if necessary.
We provide quick help in everyday study life!
You benefit from:
- Uniform training of the study teams at all trial sites
- Practice-oriented training and troubleshooting support for the entire study team
- Harmonized implementation and fewer follow-up questions for the responsible Clinical Research Associates (CRAs)
Case Study: Different qualification levels at trial sites
Initial situation:
A sponsor is conducting an oncological phase III study with 15 trial sites. While some sites have experienced Study Nurses, others have little experience with complex oncology studies. This leads to inconsistencies in protocol implementation: errors in laboratory sample handling result in follow-up requests from the central laboratory, incomplete documentation causes critical time points to be missed, and the high number of queries forces monitors to conduct retraining, delaying the study.
Solution:
The Project Training Service organizes standardized, practice-oriented training for all Study Nurses and Study Coordinators. The training includes hands-on sessions on laboratory handling, documentation, and protocol implementation. In addition, a standardized training program with practical exercises is conducted for all trial sites. Study nurses also receive best-practice guidelines to ensure a consistent way of working.
Outcome:
By introducing a uniform standard, fewer errors occur, which reduces the number of queries and accelerates study conduct. Study staff implement the protocol correctly from the outset, eliminating the need for time-consuming retraining and enabling the study to be conducted more efficiently.
