Optimizing Trial Outcomes through Computer Assisted Design

Is your organization using data and technology in the upfront design to optimize your clinical trials?

On average, developing a new drug takes over 10 years and costs over one billion dollars. Despite this investment, less than 10% of drugs make it to market. With stakes this high, is your clinical trial design optimally structured to balance time, cost and risk and deliver the best outcomes?

In this webinar we will discuss the use of data, information and technology in upfront clinical trial planning and design to improve success rates and deliver more cost effective and timely clinical trials. Topics will include a structured systematic approach to design and its benefits; the need for multiple scenarios to enable more transparent and objective decision making; and the best approach to improving clinical trial execution outcomes.

By attending this webinar you will:

• Learn best practices for objectively designing your clinical trial
• See how data and information can empower expert decisions
• Understand the role and impact of computer assisted design in optimizing outcomes

Note: this presentation is not a solicitation for business, rather a challenge to Biopharma to think about how better upfront planning could transform their development successes.
