Cost of Manual Work — Clinical Trials Operations

See what repetitive manual work is costing Clinical Trials Operations teams each year — where patient recruitment is the single biggest cause of trial delay; sites enroll well below plan and the sponsor cost-of-delay runs into seven-figures-per-day on Phase III studies.

What this means for Clinical Trials Operations

  • Patient recruitment is the single biggest cause of trial delay; sites enroll well below plan and the sponsor cost-of-delay runs into seven-figures-per-day on Phase III studies.
  • Protocol amendments are frequent, expensive, and operationally disruptive — every amendment ripples through CTMS, EDC, eConsent, and site training.
  • Regulatory and quality discipline (GCP, ICH, 21 CFR Part 11, EU CTR) is non-negotiable and the audit-and-evidence workflow is sustained.

Where it pays to act

  • Patient-recruitment AI — site-and-cohort identification, EHR-and-claims-based outreach, and pre-screening automation.
  • Protocol-design and amendment-impact AI — protocol complexity scoring, amendment-impact simulation, and operational-feasibility prediction.
