Insights On Trial Design

  1. AI's Bottleneck In Clinical Trials Moved, And Most People Missed It 7/20/2026

    AI has accelerated drug discovery, but the real bottleneck is now clinical trial operations. Explore why regulatory success depends on auditable data governance, not model speed.

  2. Recruitment Readiness: From The Front Lines To First-In-Patient 4/10/2025

    Operating within local markets, LES professionals conduct meticulous eligibility assessments, manage referrals, and facilitate patient navigation, ensuring a seamless pre-screening experience.

  3. Why Early Clinical Development Is Shifting Toward Decision-Enabling Study Designs 6/9/2026

    Early clinical research is shifting to decision-focused designs, using biomarkers, functional endpoints, and targeted populations to reduce uncertainty and enable clearer progression.

  4. Balancing Patient Centricity With Complexity In Cancer Trials 10/28/2025

    By bringing clinical research closer to where patients live and receive care, sponsors and CROs can expand reach, reduce travel burdens, and engage populations historically underrepresented in cancer studies.

  5. Breaking The Trial Bottleneck: Smarter, Faster Paths To Patients 7/10/2026

    AI is speeding clinical trials — but silos and complexity persist. Discover how connected systems and automation can enable faster, more adaptive development.

  6. Clinical Trials Need To Take The Whole Patient Into Account 7/10/2025

    Explore how inclusivity in clinical trials needs to encompass the whole patient, taking into account factors like race, sex, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and physical abilities or qualities.

  7. Avoiding The Gotchas: RTSM Build Tips From A Seasoned PM 3/25/2026

    Small protocol details can create outsized challenges when definitions are unclear or when integrations aren’t planned early. 

  8. Clinical Trial Budgeting Faces Pressure To Modernize 6/26/2026

    Outdated budget data slows trial startup. Real-time market benchmarking helps sites and sponsors negotiate faster and get treatments to patients sooner.

  9. How To Improve Patient Engagement In Clinical Trials 4/21/2026

    Stronger patient engagement improves recruitment, retention, and data quality. Reducing burden, improving communication, and meeting real needs can transform trials and keep studies on track.

  10. Evolving IRT For Today's Trials: Flexibility, Site Experience, And Integrated Workflow 5/19/2026
