#71: Heike Schoen - How To Rescue Your Clinical Trial When at Risk to Fail

Did you know that almost 90% of all product ideas fail in clinical trials? 

Surprising to me was that lack of efficacy doesn't seem to be the main reason why clinical trials fail in the first place. Other factors are at play, and most of them are manageable risks when the right team is at work.

In this episode:

• Strategic considerations for setting up a clinical trial
• Inhouse vs Outsourced Clinical Study Management
• Why  clinical trials fail
• Steps to getting your clinical trial back on track
• Future trends of clinical trials
