Factors in Clinical Trial Failures
90% of Clinical Trials fail. Even after all the investment in time and resources, only 1 out of 10 clinical projects passes testing and regulatory approval. According to Dr. Duxin Sun, a professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Michigan, developing one successful drug through clinical projects takes around 10 to 15 years and […]
Successful Project Management in Clinical Research
“Management is, above all, a practice where art, science, and craft meet.” Henry Mitzberg claims that management is the convergence of different skills, knowledge, and discipline. These elements are being utilized to carry out whatever it is that an individual or group is managing. These key attributes can clearly define the outcome of whatever it is […]
Evaluating Clinical Studies
Evaluation is the act of critical examination of a program that involves collection and analysis of information about its processes, characteristics, and results. The purpose of evaluation is to assess or conclude about the effectiveness of a program or what improvements should be done to it in order to achieve desired results. To evaluate is to monitor a […]
Why Clinical Trials Should Be Well-Controlled
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” This famous quotation from one of the greatest thinkers, Aristotle, best describes how people’s characters are defined by what they consistently perform or achieve. From this powerful line, it can be inferred that excellence, or “results”, can be achieved through […]
Corporate Social Responsibility in The Clinical Research Field for Zanteris
Although former US President Benjamin Franklin said “well done is better than well said”, it is undeniable that public impressions, especially in the modern world, are determinants whether a person, a project, or a company would succeed or fail. In the digitally modern corporate world, image is everything. One example of a prominent company that […]
Roles and Responsibilities of a Clinical Project Manager
Conducting Clinical Research trials is a complex and costly task. It involves a large amount of money, many people, and a lengthy amount of time. The purpose of Clinical Trials could vary from project to project. For example, a Clinical Trial is being done to investigate the efficacy of new drugs or treatments, efficiency and […]
Reviewing a Clinical Research Paper
Whether because of biases or lack of insight and information, all people commit errors. As what an ancient Latin proverb says, “Hummanum est errare”, to err is human. It is inherent for human beings to overlook their own actions; even if they consider themselves experts in their own field. In the sphere of Medical […]
Factors To Consider In Making a Clinical Research
Updated August 2026 — Since this article was first published, clinical research has moved further toward decentralized and hybrid trial designs, risk-based quality management under ICH E6(R3), and AI-assisted study processes. The fundamentals below still apply; the factors they describe are now assessed with these newer models in mind. Clinical Research is being done to […]
Keys To Success With Clinical Trials
Updated August 2026 — The environment for clinical trials keeps shifting: decentralized elements, risk-based monitoring and AI-supported data review are now part of everyday practice. The keys to success below remain the foundation on which those newer approaches are built. Clinical Trials is a specialized area of study that faces an ever-changing environment. The shifts […]
The Challenges of Clinical Research
Updated August 2026 — Many of the challenges described here have evolved rather than disappeared: patient recruitment now competes with growing protocol complexity, and oversight increasingly relies on risk-based and technology-assisted approaches. The core challenges below are still the ones study teams must plan for. Working in a Clinical Project is challenging but rewarding. It […]
