    How Will it Affect Patient Recruitment & Retention?

    Many sponsors are reducing the number of CROs they work with via strategic alliances. In turn, CROs are consolidating clinical trial services within these agreements, enabling sponsors to use fewer suppliers for the full spectrum of requisite trial services. As a result, your CRO is poised to play an even larger role in the success or failure of your global clinical trials. Which begs the question: are you ensured of getting the best possible services through this “one stop shopping” approach?

    This webinar examines how trial sponsors should look at one particular service offering – patient recruitment and retention – to ensure they arebeing best served by the one-supplier approach.
