Site Network (Clinical Trials)
A clinical trial site network is a curated, queryable database of clinical research sites with standardized profile data; including investigator credentials, therapeutic-area experience, prior trial performance, infrastructure, and regulatory standing; used to support site identification and selection.
Historically, site networks were either small captive networks (50; 500 sites) operated by SMOs or proprietary CRO databases of limited transparency. The Kitsa Site Network catalogues 300,000+ active and historically active sites worldwide, with country-level granularity and structured attributes spanning capacity, therapeutic depth, and historical enrollment performance.
A modern site network is judged on three criteria: comprehensiveness (does it include sites you've never worked with?), data freshness (is the investigator still active at that site?), and feature richness (does it expose enough structured signal to power AI scoring?).

Site Selection (Clinical Trials)
Site selection is the process by which sponsors and CROs identify, evaluate, and choose the clinical trial sites best suited to enroll a given study, based on patient population access, investigator experience, operational capacity, regulatory standing, and historical performance.
Feasibility Assessment
A feasibility assessment is a structured evaluation of whether a planned clinical trial can recruit enough eligible patients, at qualified sites, within the required timeline and budget, given a specific protocol design.
