Our Site Network
We Manage the Study Lifecycle from Start to Finish
Tekton sites aim to be your first activated and enrolling sites. Our dedicated regulatory and contract teams collaborate with our clinical operations and recruitment departments, so we can efficiently activate our sites and begin screening upon green light.
Our clients have a single point of contact that oversees all start-up activities. Tekton Research utilizes metrics to ensure all action items remain on track to achieve target study timelines while keeping our clients informed about progress or barriers.
Tekton’s feasibility team and investigators are committed to providing reliable and timely feedback for site selection. Our sites can operate under a single confidentiality agreement or execute site-specific agreements based on client requirements. Our goal is to supply our clients with an enriched and accurate list of well-aligned, experienced sites that understand the indication and protocol complexities.
Tekton will propose PI’s and sites that are engaged, invested, and dedicated to meeting enrollment goals, providing a positive patient experience, and delivering quality data.
At Tekton, we begin considering the overall patient recruitment, engagement, and retention strategy once an initial feasibility questionnaire is received. Our patient recruitment department, operational team, and site staff work together, considering: patient populations, previous best practices, the complexities of the indication, inclusion and exclusion criteria, study design, and goals, to develop an efficient and effective patient recruitment strategy. A Tekton patient recruitment strategist collaborates with our clients and internal stakeholders to develop and execute these patient recruitment plans. We understand the importance of establishing a well-qualified patient pool as early as possible.
The Tekton team employs a variety of resources to pre-identify participants, including investigator databases, Tekton databases, community outreach and advocacy, local and centralized advertising campaigns, and AI technology. Our clinical site staff and dedicated recruitment specialists connect frequently with current study subjects as well as our Tekton proprietary databases, ensuring they remain interested, informed, and engaged. This communication improves the likelihood of future enrollment and dramatically improves patient retention for enrolling trials. Tekton collaborates with site staff, providers, and participants to actively involve patients in research, prioritizing their perspectives and needs, to provide the best patient experience possible.
Tekton sites adhere to SOPs and quality assurance initiatives in compliance with corporate and industry guidelines. Overseen by a dedicated QA team, Tekton conducts regular training sessions and updates within our quality management system.
Processes and practices are reviewed regularly to stay aligned with GCP, ICH, and FDA regulations. Being audit-ready at all times demonstrates Tekton’s commitment to excellence and regulatory compliance.
