Your business challenge

Clinical trial site activation timelines are a leading indicator of overall clinical trial performance, yet they remain a leading cause of delays in clinical development. Long trial startup timelines can delay or prevent patients from accessing novel therapies, exacerbate challenges in clinical trial enrollment and retention, and present significant opportunity costs for industry sponsors and clinical trial sites alike.

Solution benefits

The EY Clinical Trial Fast Lane solution accelerates high-priority clinical trials, delivering up to a tenfold reduction in site activation timelines, which enables sponsors and sites to:

  • Execute trials faster to solidify progress against strategic, operational and financial goals
  • Deepen strategic partnerships by prioritizing key sponsor-site relationships through differentiated activation timelines
  • Improve engagement and personnel satisfaction through improved, streamlined site activation processes
