wasteful process that often collects irrelevant data. Drug companies will outsource an estimated $38B of clinical trial services to CROs by 2020, with a CAGR of 9-10%. Yet this robust growth masks significant customer dissatisfaction. Sponsors want clinical trials to be better-designed, technologically advanced, patient-centric, and significantly less expensive, yet change has been limited by an inability to see beyond the current outmoded, site-centric model.

As a consequence, only select compounds are being developed in humans, leaving many potential important therapies untested in clinical trials. Rapid advances in digital technology and strong regulatory support create a historic opportunity for TLS to catalyze a fundamental transformation, significantly improving the quality of clinical trials while reducing their cost.
