Clinical trial project management can encompass the entire scope of a clinical trial, from trial site identification and qualification to closing out all vendor activities. Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) offering project management services could cover clinical trial monitoring, regulatory submissions, clinical data management and medical writing services. Depending on the types of products being tested (e.g. prescription or OTC drugs, medical devices, biologics, etc.) or the therapeutic areas of interest (e.g. Neurology, Oncology, Women’s Health, etc.) , a variety of team will need to work in an orchestral manner to make things happen.
