Case Study 2: Clinical Operations

A medium-sized pharmaceutical company approached Cutting Edge Information to assist in implementing a more centralized clinical operations function. With a pipeline of promising new products and rapid growth, the company’s operations organization expanded considerably, becoming fragmented. This fragmentation generated operational inefficiencies and lethargic performance due to several business models existing under the same roof.

Bottlenecks identified.

As the company prepared for its first product launch, CEI’s analysts worked with the company’s executives on-site, at the European and US operations, to identify process and communication bottlenecks and determine which of its functions required the most improvement.

A best course of action determined.

With the client’s input and previous CEI research on clinical trials, our analysts uncovered gaps and stumbling blocks in the company’s processes. Using proven primary research and analysis techniques, Cutting Edge Information determined the best course of action would be to implement 25 prioritized changes to the client’s clinical trial operations.
