How We Serve CRO's

Although CROs are growing every year and managing more trials every year, it is estimated that 60 % of trials are still conducted by sponsors. Sponsors are increasingly demanding that CROs have suitable tools to ensure that studies are run to time and to reduce study risk.

Clinical Force CTMS will allow a CRO to rapidly set up a CTMS with no up-front capital investment, with a predictable monthly cost and the flexibility to add or remove users each month depending on clinical trial staffing. This will improve resource utilization and strengthen the bottom line.

The CTMS will improve relationships with sponsors and with investigators, ensuring longer term business continuity. And finally, having a CTMS is no longer a luxury for a CRO when pitching for new business: sponsors increasingly demand that the CRO have a CTMS.

Key Challenges faced by CROs are:

  • Managing studies in multiple geographies
  • Working with contractors and partners
  • Reporting to sponsors in an accurate, reliable and timely fashion
  • Responding to ad hoc sponsor study status requests - The Friday afternoon syndrome
  • Immediate access to information from multiple systems
  • Enabling staff to be more productive - more studies, less duplication and improved working life for the team

  • Adaptive trials to optimize study costs
