A Smarter Site Model :
Purpose-Built for Modern Trials
Our model
Elpida’s model is designed to deliver trials more efficiently by maximising the strengths of two key environments: the specialist research team and the primary care setting.
By embedding our research operations into General Practice infrastructure, we:
Tap into a broader, more diverse pool of eligible patients
Reduce patient drop-out by offering trials within trusted, convenient healthcare settings
Streamline feasibility and start-up by engaging local investigators and care teams early
Expand our operational flexibility to handle fluctuating recruitment demands
The result: faster start-up, more reliable recruitment, and better retention.
Therapeutic Experience: Diverse Experience, Specialist Expertise
Our teams have successfully supported trials across a wide range of therapeutic areas, including but not limited to:
Cardiovascular
Metabolic disorders
Gastroenterology
Infectious disease
Respiratory
CNS
Women's health
Vaccines
We continually invest in training and infrastructure to ensure readiness for complex protocols and evolving sponsor needs.
Technology
Elpida’s use of advanced, AI-driven technology provides complete oversight of every patient referral, regardless of source, whether from our digital campaigns, GP networks, or direct outreach.
Our centralised system enables us to track each patient’s journey in real-time, from initial contact through to randomisation. With a single platform underpinning all recruitment activity, we can quickly generate sponsor-ready reports that detail patient status, conversion metrics, and performance against enrolment targets.
This ensures full transparency, faster decision-making, and the ability to proactively adjust recruitment strategies based on live data.
Comprehensive Trial Delivery - from first Patient in, to last Patient Out
We offer full-service clinical site delivery, including:
Site Selection & Activation
Rapid study start-up through established primary care relationships.
Patient Recruitment & Retention
Elpida research sites are embedded within General Practice settings, giving our teams direct access to primary care patient databases and electronic medical records (EMRs).
This integration enables:
Real-time, protocol-specific pre-screening using validated EMR search tools
Early identification of eligible patients from a trusted, engaged population
Streamlined outreach through GP-approved letters, SMS, or direct contact from practice staff
The model allows us to rapidly identify and enrol suitable participants while maintaining high levels of patient trust and retention all within a familiar and accessible healthcare environment.
Protocol Execution
Dedicated research teams with Phase II–IV expertise in multiple therapeutic areas.
Centralised Patient Management & Recruitment Team:
Our recruitment & retention is managed by a central team trained in patient engagement and pre-screening. They coordinate all outreach activity and follow-up to ensure consistent messaging, rapid response times, and high conversion rates, ensuring continuous support from pre-screening through follow-up, ensuring compliance and satisfaction.
Sponsor & CRO Support
Transparent communication and high-quality data to support your operational goals.
Digital Campaign Execution
At Elpida, we have a centralised, in-house digital team with proven expertise in clinical trial enrolment. Unlike many site organisations who outsource this function, we directly execute all digital campaigns, giving us greater control, agility, and performance oversight.
This approach not only accelerates enrolment for active studies but also enables us to:
Build and maintain robust, study-ready patient databases by therapeutic area and location
Engage underserved and diverse patient populations
Rapidly activate interest for new protocols with minimal lead time.
Our integration of recruitment strategy, creative execution, and real-time analytics within one central team ensures our sites are consistently ahead of target, and that sponsors benefit from faster start-up and reduced recruitment risk.
Vendor support and management
To support the successful delivery of complex clinical trial protocols, Elpida has a robust vendor management strategy in place. We hold master service agreements with leading private hospitals and work closely with a trusted network of consultants across a broad range of therapeutic specialities. This ensures we can seamlessly facilitate any specialist procedures or assessments required as part of study protocols, without delay.
Our established partnerships and streamlined governance processes allow us to mobilise the right clinical expertise quickly-enhancing both patient experience and protocol adherence for our sponsor partners.
