From Fragmented Sites to Federated Networks: Building Scalable, Audit-Ready Clinical Trial Infrastructure across Emerging Markets

About this session

Africa conducts just 3% of global clinical trials despite a high and diverse disease burden. This session presents ACRN’s model for transforming fragmented sites into a federated, audit-ready network enabling scalable trial delivery across emerging markets. By integrating robust digital infrastructure, AI-enabled analytics, standardized operations, regulatory alignment, and community-centered recruitment, ACRN accelerates site readiness and improves participant access. The model offers a clear pathway to increasing Africa’s share of global trials to 15% while strengthening data quality, efficiency, and equity.
