RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC − Pharmaceutical business intelligence leader Cutting Edge Information announces the launch of a new industry report, “Clinical Operations: Accelerating Trials, Allocating Resources and Measuring Performance” (http://www.ClinicalTrialBenchmarking.com).

Analysts compiled the report using information gleaned from interviews and surveys with clinical trial operations and clinical development executives; trial managers; CRAs; and heads of medical writing, biostatistics, regulatory affairs, clinical quality assurance, and a host of other clinical trial support functions. The report contains staffing metrics for more than 70 trials spanning the globe and covering all phases of development. Budget benchmarks include cost-per-patient data that covers development phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 and more than 10 different therapeutic areas.

“We published ‘Clinical Operations’ to give our clients an off-the-shelf tool to help them benchmark the efficiency and performance of their individual trial teams and clinical development organizations, as a whole,” said Jon Hess, research team leader at Cutting Edge Information and lead author of the report.

According to Hess, the report has been made available for sale through the company’s website. Industry executives and others interested in the topic can download a summary of “Clinical Operations: Accelerating Trials, Allocating Resources and Measuring Performance” or purchase the report at http://www.ClinicalTrialBenchmarking.com .

Hess says that “Clinical Operations” (http://www.ClinicalTrialBenchmarking.com) also addresses clinical trial performance measurement – a topic of keen interest to many of Cutting Edge Information’s clients. The report contains lists of performance measures employed by the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies profiled in the report, as well as target and actual performance metrics.

Case studies, best practices and tactics for addressing key operational challenges are the foundation of the report’s qualitative information. A dozen of the most common clinical trial workflow bottlenecks are examined, and interviewed executives’ innovative solutions for addressing challenges, such as delays in clinical trial document writing and reviews, are presented in case study format.
