The hidden costs of site burden: Delays, deviations and dropouts

Clinical trials are more complex than ever, and site performance remains a critical factor in success. Growing site burden, from staff shortages and high turnover to increasingly complex protocols, is driving costly delays, deviations, and patient dropouts, putting timelines, budgets, and data quality at risk. 

Sponsors can take practical steps to reduce site burden while maintaining oversight and supporting sites, helping trials stay on track and patients engaged. 

What you will learn: 

  • Key drivers of intensified site burden in today’s trial landscape 
  • How site challenges translate into measurable timeline and cost risks for sponsors 
  • Early warning signs to monitor that prevent disruptions 
  • Practical strategies and operational models to support sites and protect trial outcomes 
  • How reducing site burden can position you as a preferred partner for future studies 

Discover how the right strategy and partner can optimize site performance and accelerate trial timelines.
