Clinical Research Tips of the Month
- For the average clinical trial, 30% of sites under-enroll, and 20% of sites fail to enroll a single patient! Be as accurate as you can be with your enrollment estimates up front – take into account all inclusion and exclusion criteria.
- Involve the biostatistics team as early as possible, even as early as the study development phase. They can assist with study design, population, and sample size in addition to statistical analyses.
