In 2017, Congress passed bipartisan legislation requiring the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop a grouping of over-the-counter hearing aids. Though passed more than five years ago, the law is only being implemented now.

Tips for Maintaining Quality Research Amidst the “Great Resignation”
Up to 5 million Americans have left their jobs during the ‘Great Resignation’ and that number’s still growing. While numerous industries are experiencing record turnover, it’s especially acute in healthcare. According to one report, 20% of medical professionals have left the field, including clinical trial assistants, clinical research associates, and study monitors.

5 Best Practices for Maintaining a Trial Master File (TMF)
The Trial Master File (TMF) is one of the most important systems in clinical research. It plays a pivotal role in demonstrating your assertion that your clinical study was conducted in adherence to the protocol using the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

Designing and implementing clinical trials isn’t cheap. One report submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found that the average cost of a Phase 1 trial was $4 million, while the average cost of a Phase 3 trial was $20 million. Considering that up to 85% of all trials experience delays, your budget can quickly balloon out of control.

Tips for Improving the Patient Experience in Clinical Trials
Low patient retention is one of the greatest challenges that clinical researchers face. One study, conducted by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, found that between 2012 and 2019, patient dropout rates increased from 15.3% to 19.1%.

Introducing the Reinvented FSP: Functional, Flexible, and Fractional Service Provider
Bringing a new drug, therapy, or medical device to market is a time-consuming and cost-intensive process. In fact, the average clinical trial takes six or seven years to complete with a typical price tag of $2.6 billion.

3 Common Clinical Trial Models and Tips for Choosing the Right One
The last year and a half have been a whirlwind, particularly for clinical researchers. While the trial landscape is ever-evolving, efforts to “slow the spread” of COVID-19 have accelerated the process.

4 cost-effective strategies for recruiting clinical trial participants
Designing and implementing a clinical trial is a time-consuming and costly process. In fact, a 2014 report by Aylin Sertkaya et al. submitted to the U.S. The Department of Health and Human Services found that on average:

5 Tips For Recruiting (And Retaining) Clinical Trial Participants
Clinical trials play a critical role in identifying and developing new treatments. They advance medical research, allow for improved patient outcomes, and enhance our knowledge of human biology. Unfortunately, they aren’t always easy to recruit for. In fact, approximately 85% of clinical trials fail to enlist enough participants to move forward.
