Companies are losing clients and compromising their global clinical trials because the worldwide telephone numbers assigned to these trials are flawed. Participants and doctors calling to report critical trial data often cannot due to non-operational telephone numbers. The time and money spent to fix these faulty telephone numbers is costly, frustrating, and compromises the clinical trial and its success.
