Balazs Flink, Senior Director, Clinical Development Operations, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.

Running a complex clinical trial involves a lot of moving pieces, forward planning, modeling, allocation of resources, and a neverending ability to adjust while maintaining the highest standards. It has never been easy, but many of us in the clinical research profession know how to do our part. The advent of DCTs, novel tech and data sources, and then the pandemic put us all to the test. However, we are now facing supply chain disruptions and other human/material resource challenges that make everything even more complicated. What is a clinical ops leader to do?
