Optimizing Protocol Design Strategies to Improve Clinical Research Performance –
October 2008; Vol. 3 No. 4

Improved protocol design, perhaps more than any other drug development stratagem, holds the key to faster and more efficient development.

Improved protocols, which provide step-by-step guidance for the conduct of clinical trials, have been shown to have a pronounced effect on reducing performance burdens and costs and accelerating development cycle time, according to Tufts CSDD research.
