The (Not So) Hidden Cost of Clinical Delays

Session details:

Clinical delays are rarely caused by a single failure. They usually originate early, when trial complexity is underestimated and information flows across too many disconnected stakeholder: often including clinical supply activities managed through additional outsourcing layers rather than an integrated clinical supply chain with clear in-house accountability. This session looks at how setup quality, reliability and cross-functional coordination influence timelines long before the first patient is enrolled.

Key takeaways

• Why early planning and correct setup matter more than late firefighting
• What improves execution: clear ownership, aligned stakeholders & reliable information
