Clinical Trial Site Networks with Christian Burns

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to being a standalone clinical trial site. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Standalone clinical trial sites enjoy the freedom of running their own operations. But they may face challenges with executing some parts of a clinical trial. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is where site networks come in. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, a site can run more efficient marketing campaigns, be more systematic in its clinical trial operations, or share patient recruitment and retention resources by being part of a site network.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To learn more about site networks, I invited Christian Burns, President of Elligo Health Research and Co-Founder of ClinX, on the show.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christian is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and founder of multiple clinical trial companies, including ClinEdge, BTC Network, and Guidestar Research. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christian has a track record of success in the pharmaceutical industry, with a particular focus on decentralized and direct-to-patient clinical trials. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With experience across most therapeutic areas and a presence in over 30 languages and 40 countries, Christian's companies have served patients and providers across thousands of research sites globally. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His goal is to accelerate the development of new therapies by creating innovative solutions that connect and empower the clinical trial ecosystem. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A native of Philadelphia, Christian holds a B.A. in Public Health from the University of Tampa.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Enjoy!</span></p> <p><strong>Sponsors:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This podcast is brought to you by <strong>Veeva</strong>.
