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.

I am sitting at my desk for yet another 2-day virtual IM, and I'm wondering why sponsors/CRAs aren't sending us the usual IM handouts ahead of time, to have as a guide and a place to take notes. I am having a hard time concentrating and cannot possibly remember this all. It would be nice to have something in my hands to look at while listening and watching the presentations. I really think this is a hindrance. Anyone else?

Worse when PI attendance is required for an all day virtual IM. They took all the good parts of an IM away and left only the painful ones.
