Clinical trials are important for different guiding clinical practices, especially in terms of monitoring and evaluating the usefulness as well as the safety of medical products. Their successful management requires to be conducted through an effective, practical and consistent process. Due to a large number of dysfunctions in the tested systems related to the clinical sector, the project management needs to be optimized and improved. According to ACRESglobal, such malfunctions occur because of costly delays, ethical lapses, as well as inefficiencies, frauds, and, most importantly, lack of a structured approach. Example of similar drawbacks is the outcome of some statistics which state that approximately 20% of trials are actually completed on time or that 95% of promising new firms which take part in biomedical or behavioral researches fail when it comes to proving safety and effectiveness.
In order to harmonize and systematize the management of such trials, there is a need of establishing a coordinated processes along with a global system and techniques. In the clinical research enterprise, such system would optimize the clinical trials project management for it will provide with enhanced and better quality trials. Learning how to take control of clinical research studies, how to direct and manage them, will help achieve better and more efficient results which would be responsive to what a specific trial needs and demands. Precisely, the efficient clinical trials project management requires actively dealing with every aspect of the trial, thus including:
- A trial manager
- Project panning
- Collaborative work
- Minimal work for investigators and participants
- Communication
- Efficient systems
- Efficient recruitment of trial participants
- Publication and dissemination
- Education, training and experience
In relation to this, Astra Nova LTD. has done an extensive research on the topic. After the successful Clinical Trials Project Management Webinar which took place last December and was attended by more than fifty people, the company realized the need for improvement and optimization of the management methods used in this sphere even more. Consequently, in order to respond to the increased interest, Astra Nova LTD is now organizing a second more advanced round of the webinar with the help of one of the acclaimed experts with more than 20 years of experience.
