It’s common knowledge that clinical trial delays are costly with a heavy burden on the sites and the participants if you have a poor strategy to that doesn’t consider all the factors.

Things that you need to consider:

➡️ Have you optimized your site selection process?

➡️ Knowing who the right people to speak to for your study are?

➡️ Starting your negotiations early in contracting

➡️ Forecasting your study management by understanding what hardware and software are needed.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s daunting.

Luckily, we’ve put together all key aspects you need to consider when setting up for success in an easy-to-follow guide to give you confidence in your clinical trial strategy.

We’ll be sharing our collective wisdom and experience and packaging it into a near webinar that you can use in your trials immediately with dramatic effect.

Vicky Eyre from Re:Cognition Health, Nicoletta Vitale and Romina Oxborough from IXICO go through following in this webinar: 

  • Key considerations that impact start-up cycle times
  • Strategies and tactics to help you
  • How to adopt a centralised approach 
  • A step-by-step guide on reducing burden to sites and patients

Share this with someone who you think will benefit from this. If you have questions about this webinar, please send them to info@ixico.com

This webinar ran on Tuesday, December 13, 2022
