Study startup is a relay race that requires smooth handoffs between stakeholders to move forward as efficiently and compliantly as possible. But, sites and sponsors alike often bear the burden of redundant requests and processes and delay timelines.
In this webinar, the expert speakers will dive deep into critical milestones in study startup such as ‘site selected’, ‘contract finalized’, ‘greenlight packet approved’ and ‘ready to enroll’. They will explore how the right combination of people, process and technology can improve the way sites and sponsors collaborate during study startup, ultimately enhancing visibility and alignment across stakeholders while avoiding common hurdles and headaches.
Register for this webinar to explore how study startup milestones such as site selection, contract finalization, greenlight approvals and first patient enrollment can be streamlined.
