Yes — for mapping site expertise and identifying high-performing trial sites, I’d recommend looking at Clarivate Site Intelligence / Investigate or IQVIA Site & Investigator Intelligence as top-tier options.

Strong options to consider

1) Clarivate Site Intelligence (incl. investigator/site profiles)

Best if you want:

  • Broad investigator and site profiling
  • Historical trial participation
  • Therapeutic area expertise mapping
  • Feasibility support and site selection

Why it’s useful:

  • Good at showing where investigators have worked
  • Helps identify sites with proven performance patterns
  • Useful for benchmarking and shortlist generation

2) IQVIA Investigator / Site Intelligence

Best if you want:

  • Deep clinical trial site performance insights
  • Operational performance signals
  • Site feasibility and recruitment planning
  • Integration with broader real-world and healthcare datasets

Why it’s useful:

  • Strong for identifying high-performing sites
  • Often considered one of the better choices for site selection at scale
  • Helpful when you need more than publication-based investigator data

3) Citeline (trial intelligence + investigator/site insights)

Best if you want:

  • Trial landscape and site history
  • Competitive intelligence
  • Investigator and site identification in one ecosystem

Why it’s useful:

  • Good for finding sites active in your indication
  • Helpful for mapping networks of investigators
  • Strong if your team already uses Citeline products

4) TriNetX / Real-world network-based intelligence

Best if you want:

  • Site identification based on patient availability
  • Access network visibility
  • Feasibility support tied to actual EHR data

Why it’s useful:

  • Better when patient volume is a key factor
  • Useful for identifying sites likely to recruit well
  • Less focused on “investigator profile” and more on site potential

If your main goal is specifically:

  • Mapping expertise → Clarivate or Citeline
  • Finding high-performing trial sites → IQVIA is often a strong pick
  • Patient availability + recruitment feasibility → TriNetX or similar network-based tools

A practical recommendation

If you want a single place to start, I’d suggest:

Start with Clarivate or IQVIA depending on whether you care more about:

  • investigator/site mapping → Clarivate
  • site performance and feasibility → IQVIA

If you want, I can also give you a side-by-side comparison table of the main investigator intelligence databases by:

  • data quality
  • site performance visibility
  • therapeutic area coverage
  • ease of use
  • typical cost tier
