ICT Ep: 2.12: Dropping the Baton: Why Clinical Trial Handoffs Keep Failing

In elite sports, races are often won or lost in the transition, and Liam and Ted argue that the same is true in clinical trials.

Tune in to find out why fixing the handoff might be the simplest, and most overlooked way to run better trials.
