Revival Research Trio Are Raising Research Standards

Southfield, Michigan, USA and Maidenhead, United Kingdom, 1 May 2024 – Revival Research Institute, LLC has demonstrated their focus on working to high standards as they today announce they have been awarded full GCSACertification across their three organizations. Revival Research Institute, LLC, Revive Research Institute, Inc. and Prime Revival Research Institute, LLC have all demonstrated they are operating at the highest internationally recognised quality standards within the clinical research industry through this certification. GCSA - The Global Quality Standard for Clinical Research Sites, assesses and recognises sites that have robust and effective business operating processes to ensure they can provide world-class services to patients and sponsors.

GCSA Certification, verified by the International Accrediting Organization for Clinical Research, was awarded to Revival following a rigorous assessment of all three research sites business operational processes, designed to drive up industry standards. This certification provides reassurance to sponsors, CRO’s, staff and ultimately to patients, that these research sites have been independently assessed against robust global quality standards and that research is in safe hands.

“We are dedicated to advancing medicine and redefining patient care, and whilst that pledge applies to our clinical trials, we are also keen to advance our own organisation and contribute to redefining what world-class looks like for clinical research sites, explains Ravi Alla, Director of Clinical Administration. “The in-depth GCSA certification process, which was both supportive and transformative, allowed us to ensure that our processes and standards are supporting our business as we hoped through an industry-leading independent verification process.”

The GCSA assessment involved a review of business operational procedures and processes covering the following seven critical areas: Governance, Workforce Quality, Site Business Strategy, Patient Engagement, Feasibility, Study Start-Up & Initiation and Study Management Operations & Close-Down. This was supplemented by a series of surveys and interviews with staff to gain a full understanding of how the Research and Innovation Team works as an organisation to ensure optimum research delivery.

“It was a real pleasure to work with Ravi and the team on the Workforce Quality Accreditation process for Revival Research. There was so much positivity shown by the team in the survey results and the 1:1 interviews,” comments Sarah Everitt, Vice President – Operations, GCSA & IAOCR. “What was noticeable was the relationships between managers and their direct reports at Revival, they were seen as very positive with an ‘open-door policy’ very much in evidence which was excellent. Furthermore, the documentation around competency development was comprehensive and showed a clear road map for all employees when joining the organization.’’

The GCSA quality standard for clinical research sites was developed with the support of a Global Advisory board of key stakeholders and experts from across the industry. Whilst clinical research is a highly-regulated industry, until now there have been no established standards by which sites can demonstrate that they are able to meet the expectations of sponsors, CROs and patients, and no way for sponsors or CROs to select clinical research sites based on clear quality criteria which have been independently assessed at the organisational level. GCSA sets this much-needed industry standard for research sites, enabling sites to evidence and communicate their capabilities and differentiate in a crowded and increasingly competitive marketplace. Beyond the assessment and certification process, where required, GCSA works collaboratively with sites that need help to achieve certification.

About GCSA

GCSA is the global quality standard for clinical research sites. Consisting of seven key modules agreed with the industry, it ensures clinical research sites are working to robust and effective processes so that they can deliver world-class services to patients and sponsors. The GCSA framework was developed over four years with industry research and engagement, and continues to evolve with the support of a Global Advisory Board of leading industry representatives from the not-for-profit and commercial sector, including leading global Sponsors and CROs, NHS, charitable and commercial clinical research sites, patient groups and other leading healthcare organisations.

The standard has been built to ensure that sites build their processes with the patient experience as their primary focus, and also to facilitate synergistic working between sites and sponsors to enable better patient outcomes. It provides potential sponsors with an assurance of capability through passing independent assessment based on standards and expectations specified by sponsors. Furthermore, GCSA aims to increase clinical research through alignment with commercial requirements, which also increases opportunities for participation and inclusion.
