Avoca Quality Consortium COVID-19 Rapid Response Working Group

The Avoca Quality Consortium’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Working Group (RRWG) was created to enable the continuity of clinical trials with strategies and practical support, ensuring that there is a focus on patient safety, data integrity, and regulatory compliance as the COVID-19 situation evolves.

Consisting of representation from our 120+ AQC Member companies – the group explores how organizations are implementing plans for insourced and outsourced clinical trial portfolios in light of COVID-19.

Over 9 weeks, 34 executives from 26 biotech, biopharma, CRO, and site AQC Member companies gathered to discuss different topics relevant to COVID-19. AQC Members have access to the weekly webinar slides along with detailed Executive Summaries of the session in the AQC Knowledge Center to support their real-time decision making as they navigate COVID-19 and the impact on clinical trial execution.
