Benchmarking Study Finds Clinical Trial Performance Is Shaped by Operating Model Design, Not Sourcing Strategy

A Syneos Health-announced study from Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development finds no single sourcing model consistently outperforms others, pointing instead to vendor coordination, governance, and fit-for-purpose design as the real performance drivers.

This article summarizes the FDA's four-part Patient-Focused Drug Development (PFDD) guidance series, the parallel mechanisms emerging in the European Union and the United Kingdom, the operational gaps sponsors most often encounter, and the areas in which large-scale, structured, patient-reported real-world data can and cannot contribute to a PFDD-aligned research plan.
