The QuickSTART program is designed to help clinical trials sites and industry sponsors establish standardized processes to improve efficiency and achieve a 90-day overall start-up time for clinical trials – months faster than the current standard.
The QuickSTART program is currently undergoing a refresh under the leadership and support of the Ontario Leadership Table for Clinical Trials. For more information click here or contact CTO.
QuickSTART is a streamlined start-up process supported by CTO and an online digital platform in which engaged parties (sponsor, investigator and institution) agree to work in a streamlined fashion toward a 90-day study start-up goal. The clock starts ticking when sponsors send final study documents to their selected sites. Within 90 days, QuickSTART helps make sites activated and enrollment ready.
