CASE STUDY

Customer Centricity: Key to Accelerating Clinical Trials

Embracing customer-centricity in clinical trials not only enhances patient engagement and satisfaction but also leads to improved recruitment and retention rates. By prioritising the needs and experiences of patients, sponsors can optimise trial design, streamline processes, and ultimately drive better outcomes. However, the industry continues to grapple with the persistent challenges of high costs and extended timelines, which hinder efficiency and access to innovative treatments. Addressing these obstacles demands innovative strategies, such as leveraging technology and collaborative partnerships to drive cost-effectiveness and accelerate trial timelines without compromising quality. It has to underscore the transformative potential of customer-centricity while acknowledging the imperative of overcoming cost and timeline challenges in clinical trial execution.

CASE STUDY

Building Effective Partnerships Between Sponsors, CROs, and Sites

Clinical development represents more of a multi-stakeholder integrated approach every day: sponsor companies are forming integrated alliances with their partner as CROs or other third parties, clinical sites and academies in order to create greater efficiencies and productivity. Close monitoring of the effectiveness and performance of integrated relationships offers key results about the impact and satisfaction with these models and important lessons learned for incoming programmes. It is more and more evident that one unique model “One fits for all” it’s not existing.

In this session, we delve into the transformative world of omnichannel communication within global and local medical affairs. We will explore strategies and requirements for implementing an omnichannel approach, ensuring healthcare professionals have seamless access to diverse resources across multiple platforms. The session will highlight how leveraging data can refine and personalise communication methods, thus enhancing their impact on the target audience. Additionally, the presentation will address the importance of facilitating effective cross-functional communication among medical and commercial teams, especially in fostering a unified strategy. Finally, we will explore methods to tailor content and messaging to suit the diverse preferences of different healthcare professionals and stakeholders. This session promises to offer valuable insights and practical tools for anyone looking to enhance their communication strategies in the rapidly evolving healthcare sector.
