At Xcene Research, we know that the success of every clinical trial depends on the strength of its investigative sites and the expertise of its investigators. Our Site Alliance Network unites highperforming hospitals, academic centers, and private research facilities across Sub-Saharan Africa, giving sponsors access to qualified investigators, diverse patient populations, and consistent study execution.
Each member site is selected through rigorous feasibility assessments, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) compliance checks and infrastructure audits to ensure readiness for early and latephase studies. By harmonising SOPs and maintaining centralised communication, our network reduces operational variability and promotes consistent, highquality study execution.
Through our Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Engagement Program, we link sponsors with experienced clinicians, scientists, and therapeutic-area experts who inform study design, guide feasibility, and strengthen local credibility. This integrated model bridges scientific expertise and operational execution, accelerating recruitment, ensuring regulatory compliance, and improving data quality across multi-site programs.
How Xcene Research Delivers
- Strategic Site Alliance Development: We cultivate relationships with researchready institutions across Africa. Each site undergoes robust feasibility and GCP assessments, ensuring quality and compliance from the outset. Standardised training and coordinated startup mean sponsors benefit from faster activation and reduced time to first patient.
- Investigator & KOL Partnerships: We collaborate with leading physicians and therapeutic-area experts in oncology, hematology, cardiology, infectious disease, and metabolic disorders. Our KOLs act as scientific advisors, contributing to protocol design, feasibility evaluation, and regional adaptation of study strategies. Their involvement reinforces scientific integrity, supports ethics and regulatory interactions, and promotes the consistent application of best practices.
- Capacity Building & Site Development: Through the Xcene Research Academy and our ACRP partnership, we deliver site training, mentorship, and operational-readiness programs that ensure global standards of quality and patient care. Regular GCP/GCLP workshops and centralized monitoring support help all partner sites stay inspection-ready and compliant.
- Centralised Oversight & Performance Analytics: Integrated Clinical Trial Management Systems and dashboards track enrolment, deviations and query resolution in real time, enabling proactive issue resolution and continuous optimisation across all network sites.
Why It Matters
- Accelerated StartUp: Prequalified sites enable swift activation and smooth regulatory approval, reducing delays.
- Enhanced Recruitment & Diversity: Broader access to diverse patient populations supports rapid and inclusive enrolment.
- Consistent Quality: Harmonised SOPs and unified oversight promote data reproducibility and compliance.
- Scientific Credibility: Collaboration with experienced KOLs enriches study design, facilitates regulatory interactions and ensures results are disseminated effectively.
