Improving Site-Sponsor Relationships: Efficient Strategies For Transparent Clinical Trials

Strong working relationships between clinical research sites and sponsors are critical to a successful clinical trial. However, the relationship between sponsors and sites is often complicated due to an ongoing struggle for effective communication. With both parties juggling numerous studies and tasks at any given time, it’s difficult to address concerns in a timely manner and provide the optimal amount of information. The addition of a contract research organization (CRO) extends the chain of communication between sponsors and sites, potentially increasing the challenge to relay timely information to appropriate individuals.

To alleviate this struggle, it’s important for both sites and sponsors to actively practice open communication. With mutually beneficial processes in place, sites and sponsors can avoid delays in study activation and budgeting while reducing miscommunication.

This eBook addresses common challenges sites and sponsors encounter when collaborating on a clinical trial and proactive best practices to help resolve these challenges. By implementing these approaches, we can ultimately improve clinical research for all stakeholders.
