CROs today are faced with challenges beyond growing and maintaining the business of providing outsourcing services. Within the study conduct phase of clinical trials, they are responsible for quality data, accurate and timely communications, and best practices in reducing risk in managing studies, sites, CRAs and portfolios for their sponsor clients.

This webinar will present findings from a new benchmark survey conducted across leading CRO executives and project team members, to shed light on the challenges associated with managing increasing complexity of data, maintaining milestones at greater economy, and addressing new requirements from guidance such as ICH E6(R2).

The webinar will share results from questions such as:

What are the greatest limitations to a successful sponsor relationship?

- How are you planning to address ICH E6(R2) with your sponsor clients?

How can the process of creating and maintaining Quality Agreements and Vendor Oversight plans be improved?

Julie Peacock of Comprehend will present findings from this new report and then provide a live demonstration of clinical intelligence designed for CROs:

Create, monitor and manage quality agreements and oversight plans
Proactively identify and mitigate risk
Manage portfolio and site performance
Empower joint CRO-Sponsor teams through collaboration and workflow
