ICT Ep: 2.12: Dropping the Baton: Why Clinical Trial Handoffs Keep Failing

from Innovating Clinical Trials · host Liam Eves and Ted Trafford

In elite sports, races are often won or lost in the transition, and Liam and Ted argue that the same is true in clinical trials. Drawing on the precision of Olympic relay racing, they make the case that the handoff points between sponsors, CROs, and sites are where trials quietly succeed or silently fall apart.From recruitment referrals that never get followed up, to sites given the green light before they're actually ready, the gaps are rarely dramatic, but the cost adds up. The culprit, more often than not, is assumption over communication.Tune in to find out why fixing the handoff might be the simplest, and most overlooked way to run better trials.
