Thanks for stopping by! After 10+ incredibly rewarding years at Bracket, I'm quickly settling into my new routine consulting in the Clinical Technology space. The flexibility in my schedule was a convenient and welcome change to accommodate school breaks and summer travel. It also has allowed me to start learning about other sides of the industry unrelated to IRT and ePRO. And I started to do some brainstorming - I have a lot of ideas! The challenge now is 1) where to begin and 2) how to begin.
My goal: Make Clinical Trials more efficient for everyone.
Clinical trials have gotten infinitely more complex in recent years. The increase in oncology, cohort-driven, and dose finding trials combined with the goal to reduce timelines and bring drugs to market faster has only added to the challenge. I see it impact everyone from CRAs struggling to keep up with monitoring activities to Software Developers working long hours to release new versions of applications for the latest protocol amendment. The result is often anxiety for my colleagues and an increase in cost for the sponsors. It seems like every day I see something new being discussed about the latest randomization methods, trends in inventory management, new country specific labeling requirements, methods for increasing patient recruitment and engagement, and so much more.
1) Where to begin: right here! I'd like to start by using this space as a place to summarize and discuss some of the latest trends, and discuss how we can adopt and implement the more impactful trends to make clinical trials more efficient. I hope to have bi-weekly updates on this blog.
2) How to begin: research, writing, networking, and collecting feedback. I have a passion for this industry so it's easy for me to find time to keep up on the research. Writing and networking don't come as natural to me so I'll also be doing some work to cultivate these skills. Finally, I'll be asking for feedback from you on what you or your organization is looking to make more efficient and what you want to hear more (or less) about in general.
