Addressing Operational Challenges in Conducting Clinical Trials
Critical task of site selection is often carried out in a non-scientific and non-systematic way
The delays in patient recruitment due to non-performing sites for clinical trials account for an average of 10.8 months lost per trial. When calculated, this is an annual cumulative loss of 26 years, with 30trials on average, for each company.
Decrease Trial Delays withXcellerate - Clinical Trial Optimization
Oncology Case Study
Covance has the most comprehensive clinical trial knowledge base in the industry with more than7,000 protocols including 132k unique investigators experienced in conducting clinical trials

80% of clinical trials fail to meet milestonesThe process of translating lab research into potentially life-saving treatments is often severely delayed
Patient Enrollment - Site Selection Site Activation Patient Recruitment
Selection of low or non-performing sites directly impacts the study timelineSites never enroll a single patient or sites do nothing for a long period of time andthen end up enrolling one patient.
Patient enrollment challenge is the leading cause of missed clinical trial deadlines

Results in selection of non-performing sites

CenterWatch Study
One major result of escalating clinical trial delays is the significant dollar impact on study sponsors. In addition to higher study-related costs, sponsors can potentially experience sales losses from $600,000 to $8 million per day due to trial delays***...
To effectively decrease the clinical trial delay, one of the best ways is to reduce the number of non-performing or low performing sites
10.8 months of delay = $2.592M
5.4 months of delay = $1.296M
50% decrease in trial delay decreases $1.296M in revenue loss for a blockbuster drug
10.8 months of delay = $194M
5.4 months of delay = $97M
50% decrease in trial delay reduces $97M in revenue loss for an average drug

Non-perfoming sitesreduced to
36%
A case study demonstrated that Xcelleratehelped deliver a pivotal study with a new oncology compound more than one year ahead of schedule, by reducing the number of low- and non-performing sites to 36%
A pivotal study of a new oncology compound faced the challenge of managing site activation with rapid enrollment
Forecasting the number and location of new patients to be enrolled using Xcellerate minimized the number of non-performing sites
Low- and non-performing sites were reduced to 36%, with patient recruitment completed 9 months ahead of expectation, and regula-tory filing more than one year ahead of original schedule
