Phase III studies with more patients per site are likely, ACIL meeting is told.
Executive Summary
PHASE III STUDIES WITH MORE PATIENTS PER SITE will become more common, Future Health Care Research Centers President Timothy Ross predicted at a Feb. 1 meeting of ACIL, the Association of Independent Scientific, Engineering and Testing Firms, in Arlington, Va. "You're not going to see in the future 100, 200-site trials," Ross predicted. "You might have the same patient target, but I think our site industry has to raise up and recruit more patients per site in the same time period or less of a time period....That's where the industry starts picking up some phenomenal time savings and cost savings."
