The Adherence Imperative: Clinical Operations and Patient Centricity

Clinical Research News | Participant adherence is a leading indicator of trial health. Adherence reflects patient centricity as a measure of how effectively a clinical trial has removed barriers, supported participants throughout the study journey and enabled sites to deliver a high-quality participant experience. As participant experiences improve, usually so does adherence, especially considering that approximately half of all dropouts in phases 2-3 come down to participant choice rather than adverse reactions or study staff decisions. more...

Why Clinical AI Pilots Stall Before Production

Insights from SCOPE | A successful clinical AI pilot does not guarantee a production-ready workflow. Learn how reliable data, workflow redesign, integration, validation, ownership, user adoption, and meaningful performance measures can move promising AI capabilities into trusted, scalable clinical trial operations at enterprise scale. more...

Global Effort to Overhaul Regulatory Framework for AI Medical Devices

Clinical Research News | Data routinely captured to track health and measure wellness do not reflect ground truth, as is well known in the field of medical informatics. That imperfect healthcare data is nonetheless being used to train artificial intelligence (AI) models powering devices used in patient care, often having never been evaluated on their clinical effectiveness. more...

Why Clinical Trial Feasibility Questionnaires Need to Change

Insights from SCOPE | Long feasibility questionnaires often ask research sites to repeat information sponsors already have. Learn how reusable site data, targeted questions, real-world evidence, and direct dialogue can reduce burden, improve comparisons, and support more current, useful clinical trial feasibility decisions earlier. more...

The Scope of Things: Source Preparation Emerges as a Clinical Trial Startup Bottleneck

Clinical Research News | Clinical trial startup delays are often attributed to budgets, contracts, and regulatory review, but a less visible bottleneck may occur at the investigative site level: source preparation. During the latest episode of The Scope of Things, Ken Getz, executive director of the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, and Rick Ward, chief commercial officer at CRIO, discussed their companies’ collaboration exploring how preparing source documents delays getting the first patient in and slows enrollment. more...
