The negotiation of a clinical trial budget should commence during the feasibility questionnaire review and continue through pre-study visits using planned communications.
Negotiating the Negotiation
Recruitment Timelines Not Met
Clinical trial recruitment timelines become impossible to meet when studies don't start on time.
A Physician’s guide to getting started in clinical research
Getting involved in clinical research can be challenging. Many new investigators struggle for years to get a clinical research business off the ground. Once they participate in their first study, it may not be what they expected, and they abandon clinical research altogether. This article seeks to inform potential investigators and sites and provide guidance on next steps.
What’s the site cost of sponsor required portals?
There is a cost to sites for the portals that sponsors select for a clinical trial. That cost to the site can be in the thousands before a study starts.
The 4 “I”s of Investigator Motivation – Impediments
In the introduction to this series about Investigator Motivation, the connection was drawn between Motivation and Momentum. It’s a cyclical effect in clinical trials where one can influence the other both in negative and positive ways. When both Motivation and Momentum are low, we find sites silently quitting the study. What brings them to this point? One piece of the puzzle is to identify and eliminate impediments that prevent the study from functioning optimally.
The 4 I’s of Investigator Motivation – Introduction
A significant factor in recruitment for participants and conduct of clinical trials is Principal Investigator / Site motivation. A motivated investigator can motivate study staff and increase recruitment potential for a trial and decrease site related issues. Conversely, an Investigator or clinical trial site that is not motivated or loses motivation during a trial can result in recruitment slowing or completely halting. It is not uncommon for sites to silently quit studies they were once excited about. This series of articles will examine the 4 I’s of Investigator / site motivation and unpack what can be done to optimize clinical trial conditions.
