Successful product development companies not only have the right systems in place to take advantage of scientific breakthroughs, but also have the right environment in place to support operational and quality management of their clinical research projects. There are rarely clinical trials where other vendors such as contract research organizations (CROs), electronic data capturing (EDC) companies, imaging or specialty laboratories are not required. Knowing when to rely on in-house capabilities and when to take advantage of skills that exist externally can go a long way to expediting development by allowing biopharmaceutical companies to concentrate on their core competencies. Managing these diverse and multidisciplinary groups can become overwhelming for even a seasoned clinical trial manager. This course introduces participants to the selection, oversight and management of clinical trial vendors of all types and includes hands-on exercises and case studies to apply the concepts taught in the materials. In this way, participants may immediately use their new skills back on the job.
This course will be beneficial to those who have some clinical trial management experience, but who may be faced with their first multi-vendor or global program, such as clinical trial managers, clinical project managers, study managers and clinical program managers.
