Event Overview:

Ongoing challenges with cost and time-to-market have created increasing pressures for sponsors to optimize their clinical trial delivery. This webinar explores some of the key headwinds for clinical trial delivery in addition to the tools, technologies and processes that are being leveraged to address these. The evolution of outsourcing strategies is discussed along with a focus on diverse Functional Service Provider (FSP) models.

These FSP delivery models will be discussed, looking at how they can be leveraged to address specific needs and requirements, their pros and cons, as well as the key deciding factors for how and when they should be employed.

Key take-aways

  • How the industry approach to FSP is shifting and its impact on development costs and timelines
  • Which levers can be employed to mitigate the increasing costs and timelines for clinical trial delivery
  • How changes in outsourcing strategies are focusing on flexible delivery models
  • Not ‘one-size fits all’. How to identify optimal FSP strategies for your situation. Deep dive into the different types of FSP models, their pros and cons
  • How to set up and implement a successful FSP model

Standardized measurement across five oncology centers found that clinical research coordinators rated eSource-enabled workflows positively (Overall Mean Satisfaction 5.79 of 7), with reduced manual entry and electronic data transfer earning strong marks, while perceived reduction in sponsor and monitor queries lagged as the one domain below threshold.
Where the Industry Is Headed as Clinical, Operational, and Real-World Data Connect
In this video interview, Rajneesh Patil, global head of AI, digital, and innovation in clinical development at Syneos Health, describes the industry’s trajectory toward a unified intelligence orchestration environment—and explains why the future isn’t one model that knows everything, but a trusted system that brings the right evidence to the right human decision.
What Expanding AI Ecosystems Mean for Sponsor Complexity and Oversight
In this video interview, Rajneesh Patil, global head of AI, digital, and innovation in clinical development at Syneos Health, argues that CROs must act as orchestrators rather than aggregators—and that the real test of any AI ecosystem is whether it reduces sponsor coordination burden or just hands it back to them.
The Human Side of Clinical Trials: Why Fuzzy Mental Models Undermine Clinical Trial Execution
In Episode 3 of The Human Side of Clinical Trials, hosts Brian S. McGowan, PhD, FACEHP, chief learning officer and co-founder of ArcheMedX, Inc., and Kelly Ritch, chief operating officer of ArcheMedX, Inc., speak with Jason Riis, PhD, CEO and chief behavioral scientist at Behavioralize, about why a well-written protocol doesn’t always translate into consistent execution, and how designing for the way people actually think and learn can reduce site burden and the need for costly unlearning.

Real-time clinical trials require standardized digital data capture at the point of care through scaled eSource-EDC-EHR integration, but progress stalls because competing standards lack regulatory enforcement and one-off system integrations cannot scale beyond single studies without industry-wide alignment and legal clarity on data ownership.
