TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Until recently, the study startup portion of clinical trials has not benefited from innovation, essentially remaining manual or heavily rooted in Excel spreadsheets, causing this complex process to seriously underperform. The 10 steps to clinical study startup eBook, based on the directives in ICH E6(R1), helped define the site-specific activities at the outset of a clinical trial and to this day remains a very popular download.

Today, study startup functions and job roles are more commonplace at sponsor and CRO organizations, but despite this, clinical operations teams are drowning in data but starving for information at a time of intense pressure to speed up clinical trials and restrain costs.

The average cost of drug R&D is now estimated to be $2.9B by Tufts CSDD — this is unsustainable. Globalization (multi-country studies), the changing regulatory landscape (ICH E6(R2)/(R3), EU 536/2014, etc.), matrix organizational changes and non-traditional trial designs (e.g., decentralized clinical trials) have forced the industry to rethink their approach to study startup. These traditional steps need to be expanded upon, collapsed and fit for purpose. But, how?

Register for this live webinar on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at 10am EST (3pm GMT/UK) to learn about a modern approach to study startup that addresses today's drug development challenges.

The webinar will feature the following expert speakers:

  • Gareth Milborrow, SVP of Feasibility, Site ID & Start-Up, ICON; ACRO member company;
  • Lorena Gomez, Senior Director, Global Study Start Up, PRO Management, and Digital Implementation, AbbVie;
  • Andrea Ochoa, VP of Global Study Start Up, Premier Research; CRO Forum member company;
