Overcoming research challenges with Adaptive Trials
PCI Pharma Services
There has been cause for concern within the pharmaceutical industry over
the last five years, regarding increasing research and development
costs, combined with a fall in the number of new drugs brought to
market. In an attempt to overcome this issue there has been a
significant rise in the use of adaptive clinical trial designs, whilst
saving time and money as well as facilitating more effective decision
making. One of the biggest challenges that pharmaceutical companies have
experienced has been delivering compliant clinical trials supplies
across diverse patient populations in the relatively short timeframes
that adaptive trial designs require, remaining focused on ensuring that
patient compliance and product quality is in no way compromised. This
demand has led to the launch of fast response services that support
Research and Development in responding to changing dosing regimens
mid-trial.
