Agility in Action: 5 Ways LabConnect’s Nimble Approach Can Accelerate Clinical Trials

When it comes to clinical research, speed and efficiency are critical components that can significantly impact the success of a clinical trial. Rapid advancements and the urgent need for innovative treatments mean that delays in the trial process can have serious consequences, including increased costs, prolonged timelines, and missed milestones. 

Adopting a nimble approach to managing clinical trials is essential for meeting regulatory timelines, and optimizing resources. Efficient clinical trials not only enhance the overall reliability and validity of trial outcomes but also accelerate the delivery of new therapies to patients. 

 

Achieve Your Clinical Trial Objectives Faster

Clinical trials operate under intense timeline pressures through the various phases of research to drug approval. Meeting these timelines is critical, as delays can affect the entire trial process, leading to missed milestones, extended development times, and higher costs. 

Financially, each day a trial is delayed can cost organizations thousands, if not millions, of dollars due to extended resource allocation, additional site costs, and prolonged operational expenses. Delays can diminish the competitive advantage, especially in markets with fast-paced innovation. 

To help accelerate clinical trials, LabConnect brings more global points of service than any other central lab, with access to more than 5000 validated tests, a thriving group of scientific and technical experts, and a project management team with deep experience. While LabConnect is growing, our focus on our customers and delivering with speed and agility remains our top priority, with several models in place designed specifically to reduce overall timelines.

Because every clinical trial looks different, every LabConnect solution looks different. Here are five ways in which LabConnect helps clients stay on track and accelerate their drug development milestones with our agile approach.

1. Acceleration Through Customization

Let’s face it. Lab kit production and management can be laborious. Assembling, labeling, and organizing multiple lab kits for multiple patients for multiple clinical trials can lead to collection errors, missed samples, and loss of data integrity. At LabConnect, we do all of the lifting by providing pre-assembled kits that come in the correct order, prelabeled, by visit. We can also deliver custom kits to sites on a fast-track basis to accelerate your overall project timeline.

2. Acceleration Through Simplification

Today’s testing comes with strict timelines and sample maintenance requirements that leave no room for error—especially when delivering around the world. LabConnect leads the industry in sample management and real-time tracking services with an end-to-end chain of custody, real-time sample tracking, and comprehensive biorepository services.

3. Acceleration Through Navigation

Clinical trials have become more rigorous, specialized, and heterogeneous across the globe. This creates increased pressure and complexity while shrinking the time windows for preparing samples for analysis. LabConnect’s global laboratory network gives you access to more points of service than any other central lab—reducing the travel distance of your samples from your investigator sites, driving lower cost and operational efficiencies, and maintaining your sample’s integrity.

4. Acceleration Through Integration

Sponsors often receive patient data from disparate sources, which leaves room for error in interpretation and adds time prior to submission. LabConnect’s ability to fully integrate your data ensures superior data consistency, accuracy, and usability. Our flexible and robust global information management platform ensures the timely delivery of accurate data aligned to your unique specifications.

5. Acceleration Through Operation, Communication, and Coordination

Today’s study demands are complex and ever-changing. You sometimes need to quickly support and extend your clinical trial teams with additional scientific and technical expertise. LabConnect’s Functional Service Provider teams can quickly coordinate all of your laboratory-related needs, advise on strategies for lab data collection, and provide end-to-end analytical and logistical solutions.

At LabConnect, we pride ourselves on being nimble. Our tailor-made, timely, and flexible solutions help our clients accelerate their drug development milestones. No matter the size or complexity of your clinical trial, our central lab services will help you ensure success. And that means you can get life-changing medicines in the hands of patients faster.
