This week, Richard Young speaks to Ken Getz, executive director and research professor at Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development.

Already well-known in our industry for his pioneering research on protocol design complexity and trial efficiency, Ken’s most recent study found that the average number of amendments per protocol increased by almost 60% over the past seven years.

In this episode, Richard and Ken debate whether clinical research is striking the right balance in its approach to risk and innovation, the problem-solving role played by sites, and CISCRP’s work to improve public trust in scientific advances.
