SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- goBalto, Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based clinical study startup solutions, announced today continued growth in attendance at its biannual Study Startup Summit meetings by leading pharmaceutical and CRO organizations.
The autumn summit, held in Philadelphia, explored how goBalto's award winning suite of study startup applications are continuing to evolve to help clinical research professionals transform their existing business processes, including best practices and case studies. Multiple organizations presented on their goBalto implementations, results and key learnings to further enhance study startup optimization.
"goBalto's Study Startup Summit far exceeded my expectations. Not only was I able to gain valuable insight from listening to the experiences of other clients, but I was also able to gain a clear view of goBalto's direction and the possibilities their goals will create for my company's study startup business needs," stated Jennifer Evola, Senior Regulatory Documents Specialist, Allergan.
goBalto's CEO, Sujay Jadhav, opened the summit with a keynote address highlighting the industry trends in study startup, growing market adoption by the industry, evolution of goBalto's study startup platform and future technology vision.
"Our industry proven end-to-end study startup methodology, spanning site identification, feasibility assessment, selection through to activation, with comprehensive metrics, aligns with the goal of faster development by significantly impacting cycle times," said Jadhav. "This leads to greater cost savings, mitigates rescue studies, and leads to faster market entry. Ultimately, achieving the goal of speeding the delivery of valuable therapies to patients sooner."

Christine Pierre, President of the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) and industry keynote speaker at the goBalto Study Startup Summit, stated, "Investigative sites are the lifeblood of clinical trials.
