The True Value of Time in Clinical Trials: How Trial Runners Uses RBM to Optimize Outcomes

Time is more than money; it’s an invaluable asset. A recent survey by Empower found that Americans, on average, value their time at $240 per hour—roughly eight times higher than the average U.S. salary. This figure reflects how, in today’s world, people are increasingly prioritizing efficiency and happiness, even to the point of paying to reclaim precious hours. Millennials, for example, are more willing than ever to outsource chores or even take a pay cut for more free time, revealing a significant shift towards valuing personal well-being and work-life balance.

In clinical research, the value of time is particularly acute. Traditional trial processes are often fraught with labor-intensive, time-consuming tasks, many of which yield little return on investment for researchers or, more importantly, patients. This is where Trial Runners’ innovative use of Risk-Based Monitoring (RBM) shines—streamlining processes not only to cut costs but, crucially, to add value to the time we invest in trial operations. By embracing RBM, Trial Runners has transformed from a company grounded in traditional methods into an industry leader with cutting-edge, time-efficient practices.

So, how is RBM redefining the clinical trial landscape, especially in ophthalmology? Here are four ways we’re harnessing the power of RBM to maximize the value of every moment we invest:

1. Increased Data Accuracy: With RBM, we focus on critical data points that provide the most insight into trial progress and patient outcomes. By strategically narrowing our focus, we reduce errors, enhance the quality of our data, and protect the integrity of trial results. This level of precision is essential in a complex field like ophthalmology, where even minor data discrepancies can impact outcomes.
2. Enhanced Patient Safety: Patient well-being is at the heart of our mission. RBM allows us to conduct proactive risk assessments, empowering our clinical developers and medical monitors to identify and address potential risks before they escalate. This real-time responsiveness safeguards patient health and enhances the reliability of our outcomes.
3. Cost-Efficiency: Trial Runners’ project management team utilizes RBM to allocate resources more effectively, minimizing costs without compromising on quality. Through RBM, we’re able to optimize monitoring efforts, making each dollar and each hour spent on a trial count for more.
4. Accelerated Time-to-Market: By targeting monitoring activities with data-driven precision, we speed up trial timelines, meaning ophthalmology treatments reach patients faster. In an era when time is considered increasingly precious, this accelerated path from research to real-world application is a win for patients and researchers alike.

At Trial Runners, we’re not just following industry trends; we’re leading them. RBM, combined with our team’s deep expertise, enables us to make clinical trials more efficient, patient-centered, and impactful. As our industry shifts to prioritize value over volume, Trial Runners continues to be at the forefront of creating high-quality, patient-focused solutions that make every moment—and every trial—count.
