The Digital Paradox: Research Sites and the Clinical Trial Protocol

Teckro teamed up with the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (CSDD) to capture feedback from research site staff on how they interact with the clinical trial protocol.

In addition to the official report published by Tufts CSDD, we prepared a companion analysis. This analysis is broken into three observations from research:

• The conduct of clinical trials is guided by “electronic paper”
• There is a degree of separation between the protocol and the patient
• Study design complexity presents challenges for staff to find answers in the protocol
