Welcome to Clinical Trial Confidential.

We believe the clinical trial industry lacks a platform for open, transparent conversation. This lack of transparency inhibits progress. In this industry, that means patients are the ones that suffer.

Here you can choose to register an account, post anonymously or both. It is our hope that the ability to post anonymously will help foster useful conversation by allowing users to express their opinions without fear of retaliation, fear of appearing ignorant and otherwise allowing users to express opinions that may be contrary to their employer or that their position may not permit.

We believe great ideas should stand on their own merit and not the credentials of their author.

We hope these values will foster an environment of collaboration.

Curious if anyone has experience being part of their site network. It is hard to learn whether all the claims they make are real or not.

Don't know much about them honestly. Hopefully someone can chime in.

Yeah it's hard to tell what they do from their website so that's interesting. A lot of these companies use a bunch of fancy copy on their website but I have no damn clue what they actually are trying to say.

Proof that in clinical trial tech it is possible to raise xxxM USD based on Powerpoint.   To be honest, the most dangerous step to take for a tech company is to actually deliver a software product.   At this time, a software based company can be assessed.  Before then, the investment is based on a vision.   Trialspark follows this trend for investment based on a concept vision that is cannot be reasonably assessed on any tangible measure. 

This is how it goes...

Founder / CEO.  :-    "We believe we can carry out a clinical trial in a fraction of the time for a fraction of the money at twice the quality!" 

Sponsor                :-    Great - how do you do that!?!

Founder / CEO   :-  "Not sure yet, we are still working on it"...
