Key cost drivers of pharmaceutical clinical trials in the United States
@article{Sertkaya2016KeyCD, title={Key cost drivers of pharmaceutical clinical trials in the United States}, author={Aylin Sertkaya and Hui-Hsing Wong and Amber Jessup and Trinidad Beleche}, journal={Clinical Trials}, year={2016}, volume={13}, pages={117 - 126} }
Background: The increasing cost of clinical research has significant implications for public health, as it affects drug companies’ willingness to undertake clinical trials, which in turn limits patient access to novel treatments. [] Key Method We evaluated per-study costs across therapeutic areas by aggregating detailed (per patient and per site) cost information. We also compared average expenditures on cost drivers with the use of weighted mean and standard deviation statistics. Results: Therapeutic area…

The highest-cost trials were those in which the new agent had to be proved to be noninferior with clinical benefit end points compared with an agent already available or those that required larger patient populations to achieve statistical power to document smaller treatment effects or accrue infrequently occurring end points.

Can Administrative Data Improve the Performance of Cancer Clinical Trial Economic Analyses?
- Political Science, MedicineJournal of oncology practice
