Achieving High Performance Study Start-up: An Inside Look at GSK

Study start-up is a critical component of the end-to-end trial process, yet many clinical operations teams still rely on manual trackers and stand-alone disconnected technology to manage and monitor site selection, activation and greenlight progress.

What if you could easily share start-up documentation, workflows and data across TMF and CTMS processes without any manual data entry or complex integrations? How much time could you save if start-up content was automatically filed in your TMF? A single source of truth is achievable by unifying clinical operations to improve control, visibility and efficiency – and selecting a truly unified technology platform is imperative.

GSK will share insights about their journey to faster study start-up – from drivers for change to the technology evaluation process and how a unified clinical operating environment improves trial execution of critical start-up business processes.
