Refine processes to accelerate and improve clinical trials

Executing a successful clinical trial requires seamless communication and coordination among many stakeholders -- study sponsors, contract research organizations, academic research organizations, site management organizations, patient recruiters, clinical investigators and patients.

Research shows that there is much room for improvement. The average Phase 1, 2, and 3 trials exceed their timelines by 20%. Delays in the clinical trial process cost pharma companies hundreds of thousands -- even millions -- in sales. Today, companies also encounter formidable challenges in the clinical development process, including the FDA's increased involvement.

Streamlining Clinical Trials is the authoritative tool for clinical operations teams to accelerate their trials. This comprehensive guide delves into the latest industry trends and strategies for elevating efficiency. It focuses on resource allocation, performance measurement, continuous process improvement, patient and investigator recruitment and adaptive trial designs. Through extensive benchmarking data, real-company case studies and interviews with industry experts, the report shows how companies are moving their product candidates through development faster and more efficiently.

Use the report to:

* Benchmark your clinical operations against leading companies

* Clarify performance objectives

* Identify and eliminate common trial bottlenecks

* Drive successful patient recruitment campaigns
