Rising Clinical Trial Delays and Costs - Addressing the Cause, Not the Symptoms 

medidata podcastProtocol complexity is taking a toll on clinical study speed and efficiency: increasingly complicated and ambitious protocols are not only burdening sites and study volunteers but are also prolonging trials and increasing expenses. In response, sponsors have turned to global study placement, restructured site relationships and new site management practices, but the problem remains.

This podcast will discuss:

  • Why these responses address only the symptoms, not the underlying cause, of rising clinical trial delays and costs.
  • Results of a recent joint Tufts University / Medidata Solutions study.
  • New metrics benchmarking protocol design trends.
  • Systematic protocol design improvements and why they are essential to clinical trial performance excellence.

Speakers: Ken Getz, Senior Research Fellow at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, and Ed Seguine, General Manager, Trial Planning Solutions at Medidata.
