In response to increased pressure to reduce study timelines and costs, the pharmaceutical industry has been deploying eClinical solutions. Investigative sites are now inundated with technologies, adding to their already heavy workload burden. However, are better technologies just part of the solution? Numerous industry initiatives are also now available to help sites improve operational efficiencies.
Faced with this myriad of options, what are the challenges and opportunities currently facing the adoption and deployment of these technologies and initiatives? A panel of site-centric industry organizations will present and discuss the findings from a new study aimed at addressing these questions.
This webinar will focus on understanding the sites’ perspective on these issues, which is of paramount importance in guiding and sustaining global clinical research.
This webinar is applicable to:
- Investigative sites engaged or wishing to engage in clinical studies
- Sponsor and CRO roles responsible for site identification, feasibility assessment, selection and activation
- Sponsor and CRO roles responsible for project management of studies and operational excellence
