Reduce Risk and Accurately Forecast Results with Clinical Trials Simulator

Clinical studies account for almost half of the over one billion dollar cost of drug development. More than 80% of all clinical trials experience significant delays, the cost of which can exceed $35,000 a day.Patient recruitment and retention in clinical trials are widely recognized as the leading clog in the new drug development pipeline. The unfortunate result of this problem is that pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies spend millions in additional development costs – and lose hundreds of millions in revenue.

Featured Project Review: Clinical RD Resource Requirement Analysis

Situation:
The firm’s Clinical R&D department was charged with gaining a better understanding of its resource requirements
over the next five years. In the current competitive internal operating climate, the emphasis of this study was
placed on helping to better estimate future resource requirements as well as identifying opportunities for immediate
resource savings. ProModel was engaged by the Clinical R&D department to help develop a solution.

Objectives:
The main objective for this project was the development of a methodology and tool set with which the Clinical R&D
department can more accurately predict their future resource requirements versus available capacity.
