As clinical trials continue to grow in complexity, take longer to initiate, and suffer from patient under-enrollment, stakeholders have an increasingly urgent need to improve clinical trial efficiencies and outcomes. Enhancing communication and collaboration with sites is vital in helping sponsors and CROs bring new treatments to market faster. This is especially critical in a climate permanently transformed by COVID-19.
The Integration of study startup workflows, and predictive analytics capabilities from Oracle with Cognizant’s site-centric Shared Investigator Platform’s (SIP) solutions for virtual monitoring and study oversight, and electronic document exchange and collaboration, enables sites, sponsors, and CROs to adapt to the new normal of conducting clinical trials virtually.
The collaboration between Cognizant and Oracle eliminates redundancy for sites and delivers better outcomes for sponsors and CROs. In this webcast, we will explore how our collaboration:
