    ICT EP 2.7: Rethinking How Sponsors Build Site Relationships

    04.2.2026 | 12 Min.
    In this episode of Innovating Clinical Trials, Liam and Ted explore why building strong relationships with clinical trial sites requires more than dedicated relationship teams, it requires fixing problems at their source.

    They discuss how many site challenges stem from outdated processes, one-sided agreements, and preventable operational friction that relationship teams are left to manage after the fact. Using real-world examples from confidentiality agreements to lab and portal issues, the conversation highlights the need for sponsors and CROs to look inward, modernize systems, and address root causes before sites feel the impact.

    This episode is for professionals looking for a practical perspective on how proactive leadership, smarter vendor decisions, and more thoughtful processes can reduce site burden, improve trust, and strengthen trial execution.

    Tune in to learn why the future of site engagement depends on prevention, not escalation.

    Through real-world examples, the conversation highlights how thoughtful planning, supportive site interactions, and small human touches can have an impact on study performance.

    ICT EP 2.5: Why Enrollment Is Slow and the Questions We’re Not Asking

    21.1.2026 | 14 Min.
    In this episode of Innovating Clinical Trials, Liam and Ted challenge a familiar question in clinical research: “How do we increase enrollment?” Instead, they argue that progress starts by asking a better one- “What makes enrollment challenging in the first place?”

    They explore how study design, existing therapies, operational factors, and most importantly, the lived experience of participants and their families all shape recruitment outcomes. Ted shares a practical framework for slowing down, asking deeper questions, and creating space for ideas that don’t emerge when teams jump straight to solutions.

    Tune in to learn how reframing the problem can unlock more meaningful, effective approaches to enrollment.

    ICT Ep 2.4: The Impact of Getting Site and Patient Engagement Right

    14.1.2026 | 15 Min.
    In this episode of Innovating Clinical Trials, Liam and Ted explore why clinical research is, at its core, a people-driven business. Drawing on real-world experiences from both patient and site perspectives, they discuss how trust, communication, and human connection directly influence recruitment, retention, and study success.

    From participant consent conversations to site selection and prioritization, the discussion highlights how “soft skills” often have a measurable impact on trial performance, yet are frequently overlooked in favor of technical experience alone. 

    Liam and Ted reflect on how small moments of empathy, transparency, and genuine engagement can transform transactional interactions into long-term partnerships.

    Tune in to understand why focusing on people not just processes can dramatically improve how trials are delivered.
