In the clinical research industry, where patient safety, data integrity and regulatory compliance are paramount, quality oversight is essential to success. As clinical trial complexity increases, so does the pressure on sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) to improve efficiency while maintaining quality.
For sponsors, thorough vetting and qualification of a CRO is critical to building quality into clinical trials at the outset. However, CRO selection is just the first of many activities necessary for driving continuous improvement throughout the product development lifecycle. Putting in place robust processes for effective, ongoing CRO oversight enables sponsors to uphold their responsibility for trial conduct and quality and optimizes the likelihood of study success.
In this webinar, the expert speaker will explore strategies for establishing and maintaining quality oversight over a CRO, from vendor selection to performance measurement.
Register for this webinar today to understand effective strategies for ensuring effective CRO oversight and obtaining continuous quality improvement throughout the clinical trial process.
