The Pluses and Minuses of Innovation
Applied Clinical Trials
Survey delves deep into what constitutes true game-changing innovation in clinical development.
There is hype. And there is innovation. There are expectations and reality. While the chart below is from our latest survey conducted with SCORR Marketing on innovation, this question itself doesn’t use the “i” word. Something that has the “potential to change the future of clinical trials” should be considered an innovation, but of the five choices we gave, which is a true innovation? And does it matter if it indeed changes the future?
The survey delved much deeper into what respondents think about innovation, what types of innovation is or is not being implemented, and how innovation is viewed by stakeholders. These results can be download for free here.
Other items of note from the survey include the majority of respondents feel that CROs are most accepting of innovative processes, while clinical sites are not; an equal number of companies have or don’t have an innovations department or infrastructure (43.4%); and the most often cited reason for hindering adoption of technological advances is cost.
Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
