Optimize RTSM For Efficient Clinical Trial Implementation

The most challenging aspects of conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) include the timely setup of the systems required for the conduct of the study, recruitment, retention, and randomization of patients, and trial supply logistics.

The optimization of Randomization and Trial Supply Management (RTSM) is not always straightforward, especially as clinical trial designs become more complex (e.g., adaptive designs). Rapid changes in standard-of-care treatment can make a clinical trial protocol obsolete before the sponsor implements a study.

In this context, drug sponsors turn to sophisticated RTSM systems, supported by highly proficient teams, for rapid and efficient implementation of clinical trials. This approach instantly configures systems to address all required trial elements (e.g., randomization, trial design considerations, trial supply dispensation, study endpoints).

Overall, selecting the optimal RTSM system can be a daunting task: there are dynamic components to track, and multiple systems and stakeholders are involved in the decision-making process. However, appropriate planning and implementation significantly minimize the risks and complexities associated with RTSM.

In addition, working closely with an experienced partner pays huge dividends in the long run. An experienced and technology-savvy partner provides valuable insights that only come with hundreds of client experiences and decades of work in clinical trial design and implementation.

In this paper, learn about the benefits that an optimized RTSM system can have for clinical trial sponsors.
