Overview

How to Run a Clinical Trial with a Small Team

You can run a clinical trial with a small team by using one platform for EDC, eConsent, ePRO, and enrollment—so a lean team can build and operate the study with 21 CFR Part 11–aligned controls. Quick answer: use one system with study builder that a small team can operate. Steps: define protocol and CRF requirements; choose one platform; build study and run validation/UAT if regulated; launch and operate. Common blockers: enterprise implementation, per-seat pricing.
