CRUK's embracing of trial changes embody an industry that cannot stand still

In an area like oncology, innovation is needed not just with the end product, but in the way that researchers get there, finds Rik Van Mol, vice president of R&D strategy at software provider Veeva Systems, in an Expert View piece looking at a leading cancer charity’s modernization of clinical operations.

Operational efficiency is critical for an organization that delivers pioneering cancer treatments to patients.

Relying on manual processes and legacy systems to manage the vast amounts of documentation generated by clinical trials consumes significant time and effort, which gets in the way of the mission. Embracing new technology and modernizing clinical operations is one way to increase efficiency,maximize patient benefit, and bring new therapies to market faster.
