9 Ways Your Technology Vendor Should Support Global Compliance In Clinical Research

By D’Anna Siegle, Product Marketing Manager, Florence

There are many drivers for an eClinical technology provider to refine its global compliance as well as its outlook, infrastructure, and processes. However, the primary catalyst is the steep increase in global trials and research. As shown on ClinicalTrials.gov, for all studies registered, “the number of registered clinical studies in non-U.S. areas stood at 172,209 or 50% of all studies worldwide.” ¹

Another factor underscoring a rise in global trials is an increasing shift in business models to strategically address global access to health.

An analysis and report by The Access to Medicine Foundation analyzed 20 leading pharmaceutical organizations’ global research strategies over ten years and found that “the number of companies setting goals and targets related to access, and now also implementing clear, long-term strategies for improving access, has reached 17 [out of 20].” ²

As the number of global clinical trials continues to rise it is important to understand the global compliance requirements needed for technology being utilized by your organization. This knowledge will empower you to select vendors that adhere to these requirements and support your ability to take on studies or scale participating sites regardless of their geolocation.
