Just in: research on key bottlenecks in clinical trial setup & conduct 🗞️ Clinical trials are often delayed, making it hard for sponsors to budget & timeframe their clinical development. The list of possible reasons for delays is long, but not all factors are equally impactful on timelines. Researchers at Witten/Herdecke University therefore conducted a critical path analysis to identify the most prominent bottlenecks in clinical trials. The researchers identified protocol development, IMP supply, site contracting, and patient recruitment as the most critical. To avoid bottlenecks in these activities, sponsors should: (1) plan with buffer time (2) build governance frameworks (3) adopt agile working models (4) leverage novel technologies accelerating processes (5) pay attention to improved communication & coordination 🔗 Article link: doi.org/10.1016/j.drudis.2023.103733 🗣️ Help us spread the news: x.com/triallofficial/status/1714600440187240794?s=20 #blockchainforhealth #TRL
