CD: Double Duty                                                      


Home Up

Recorded June 1, 2006

Both FDA and CMS want clinical data-more often than ever, on more products than ever. Yet clinical studies cost a fortune. And they take forever.

Is there any way to do one clinical study that works for both FDA and CMS?

Listen to the recording of "Doing Double-Duty:" Collecting Data for FDA and CMS in the Same Study, a 90-minute audio-conference that will explain:
  • How to make an FDA trial "work" for CMS.
  • How FDA's and CMS's data demands compare.
  • What to do before you start a trial-to make it do "double-duty."
  • What to do after a trial-if you want to make it do "double-duty."
  • You will get practical advice, do's and don'ts, and real-world insight from people who have been there and done that.
