The rising costs of drug development have teams at every level of the process seeking new ways to streamline operations and cut expenses, especially in complex and competitive environments such as lung cancer. In this webinar we will share how Sanofi effectively planned for an upcoming lung cancer study while focusing on internal cost reduction goals.
In this webinar we showcase how Sanofi was able to identify a far greater pool of sites with a high recruitment potential by utilizing latest machine learning technologies and combining internal and external databases. An innovative approach to study planning resulted in cost savings through the reduced number of countries and sites, and greater efficiency across the trial.
