Global health science marketing and communications firm, SCORR Marketing, has announced the availability of its new survey report on clinical trials.
Survey responses
‘Clinical Trials: Past, Present and Future’ was produced in partnership with Applied Clinical Trials and surveyed clinical trial professionals to discern what the biggest changes have been over the past decade and how the anticipate clinical trials to evolve in the future.
“Clinical trials have changed dramatically in the last decade,” said Cliff Echols, market intelligence director at SCORR Marketing. “More than ever, sponsors are pressured to get drugs to market faster and cheaper while addressing more FDA regulations, a growing number of trials, fierce competition for patient and an increasingly global trial landscape. In this survey, we dug deeper to understand how trials have changed and why. We also gained insight into what we can expect in the future as trials become increasingly complex.”
“Among the key takeaways of the report is that respondents believe that some roles have changed more because of technology, while others are different because of increased collaboration,” added Michael Tessalone, vice president/group publisher at Applied Clinical Trials. “Data managers’ and clinical research associates’ jobs have changed because of technology, while project managers’ roles are different mostly because they must collaborate more across functions, respondents said.”
The report is available for download for free from SCORR Marketing.
