As clinical trial protocols grow more complex, sites are under increasing pressure, juggling high workloads, limited resources, and administrative overload. This panel will explore practical strategies to optimise site performance, while acknowledging the real constraints they face today.

We’ll examine:

• The current challenges impacting site productivity
• The consequences of site strain on trial delivery
• Forward-thinking solutions to streamline operations and improve collaboration
• Where electronic systems support, and where they still fall short

Moderator: Sonja Weiser, PhD,Senior Director, Clinical Operations, Insmed Germany

• Learn how AI can effectively power finance teams by removing repetitive taks, guiding checks, and speeding trial set‑up and operations.
• Empower your team to navigate multi‑country rules, local processes and currencies more efficiently, with clearer oversight and fewer downstream payment errors.
• See newly launched solutions that give trial sponsors flexible, country-level control, plus connectivity to existing systems as you scale.
