The Perils of Clinical Trial Budgeting

(and how ClearTrial can save you)

We hear you loud and clear: Your budgeting process for clinical trials is long and painful. You have to use tools that simply arent intelligent enough to account for all of the nuances involved, and the end result is often far off from the target. The good news is that you are not alone; not in your struggle and not in your search for a better solution.

While Excel is the most widely used tool for budgeting, it lacks the clinical intelligence and functionality that allows for the creation of multiple, accurate plans for di erent what-if scenarios.

What [ClearTrial] allows us to do is run four or five plans right alongside each other and say, What if we change these options? How will it look? Those types of analyses are very helpful to management.
