Central nervous system (CNS) clinical trials are among the most operationally challenging in the industry, with 87% of research sites rating them as more complex than other therapeutic areas. Driven by high assessment volumes, rigid rater training demands, and tech disruptions, these challenges fall most heavily on site raters—directly impacting data quality and patient retention.

Download this white paper, developed by Medidata, SCRS, and Cogstate, to explore survey findings from 108 site raters and learn key strategies to relieve site burden, including:

• Ending Redundant Rater Training: Transition to universal certification recognition across sponsors to eliminate unnecessary site rework.
• Eliminating System Fragmentation: Integrate eCOA and EDC platforms with automatic data transfer to prevent manual entry errors.
• Fixing Data Quality Monitoring: Replace overwhelming, delayed query cycles with immediate, clear, and actionable monitor feedback.
• Prioritizing Tech Reliability: Deploy intuitive eCOA tools with error-prevention flags, dynamic navigation, and reliable site support.
