The challenge: Maintaining clinical trial timelines dependent on vendor performance

A global biotechnology company with seven clinical-phase programs approached QuartzBio with a challenge shared by many organizations in the industry -- overall assessment of clinical trial vendors and sites was time-consuming and unreliable, given global site footprints, complex sample lifecycles, and inconsistent naming across sites and vendors.

Tasked with preparing regular executive summaries, the company’s clinical and biomarker operations teams were spending significant time deriving trial-wide key performance indicators (KPIs), lacking visibility into vendor performance – and challenged to translate current experience into future study Read More →
