THE CHALLENGE

Why Clinical Trial Recruitment and Site Selection Remain Challenging

Clinical trial recruitment and site selection are still among the most operationally complex parts of clinical development.

Feasibility collection, site identification, investigator engagement, contracting, activation, and early recruitment monitoring are often managed across disconnected systems and stakeholders.

This can lead to:

  • slow site selection and activation
  • inconsistent feasibility data
  • delays in contracting workflows
  • limited visibility into site readiness

THE SOLUTION

A Structured Approach to Clinical Trial Recruitment and Site Selection

The Meplis Clinical Trial Recruitment & Site Matching Hub provides a structured environment for study start-up, feasibility, site selection, activation, and early recruitment coordination.

HOW IT WORKS

Clinical Trial Recruitment and Site Selection Platform in Practice

The workspace follows the operational sequence of study start-up, where each step builds on the previous one:

  1. Create a study workspace
  2. Upload protocol and define study requirements
  3. Identify and invite potential sites and investigators
  4. Collect structured feasibility responses
  5. Review site fit and readiness
  6. Coordinate contracting and activation steps
  7. Monitor early recruitment progress and risks

WHY THIS APPROACH IS DIFFERENT

Built for Structured Clinical Trial Workflows

Most tools used in clinical operations focus on individual steps such as feasibility or investigator management.

This approach is structured around the full operational workflow of study start-up — from protocol and feasibility through site selection, contracting, activation, and recruitment monitoring.

It also reflects the operational reality that both the investigator and the institution matter. In this model, the site is treated as a primary operational object, including infrastructure, readiness, and institutional workflows.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Addressing the Structural Gaps in Trial Start-up

Clinical trial start-up is often slowed down by structural inefficiencies rather than isolated issues.

Feasibility data is inconsistent, site selection lacks context, contracting introduces delays, and recruitment risks are identified too late.

This approach focuses on structuring these steps into a connected workflow:

  • standardizing feasibility data collection and reuse
  • improving visibility into site readiness and context
  • supporting earlier identification of recruitment risks
  • reducing fragmentation between sponsors, investigators, and institutions

This shifts trial start-up from a series of disconnected tasks to a coordinated operational process.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

What This Enables

  • more structured site selection processes
  • improved visibility into feasibility and site readiness
  • reduced manual coordination during study start-up
  • earlier identification of potential recruitment risks
  • better continuity between study planning and execution

INTELLIGENCE LAYER

Contributes to a Company-Specific Lifecycle Intelligence Layer

This solution contributes to a broader system when used alongside other Meplis solutions.

When multiple solutions are activated, activities from clinical trial recruitment and site selection contribute to a company-specific Intelligence Layer — connecting insights across R&D, clinical trials, and post-market phases.

Over time, this supports a more complete and connected view of investigators, sites, readiness, participation, and performance across the lifecycle.

FROM STUDY START-UP TO LIFECYCLE CONTINUITY

Connected to the Wider Clinical Development Process

The Clinical Trial Recruitment & Site Matching Hub connects operationally with earlier and later processes.

This includes links to early-stage collaboration and protocol development, as well as downstream evidence and post-market activities, where continuity of sites, contributors, and institutional knowledge becomes important.

INTEGRATION

Works with Your Existing Clinical Systems

The hub is designed to complement existing sponsor and study infrastructure.

It can operate alongside study systems, contracting tools, and hospital-side environments, without requiring full system replacement.

START SMALL

Start with a Single Study

Organizations can begin with:

  • one protocol
  • a focused set of sites
  • a defined feasibility and activation initiative

This allows teams to evaluate the approach within a contained study start-up scope before expanding further.
