摘要：
It takes nearly ten years to get a drug through the discovery and development pipeline and onto the market; most of this time is spent in the clinical phase. Clinical development times vary widely from drug to drug, but a drug typically spends just over 6 years going through clinical trials and regulatory processes. At least 3 years of this time is spent recruiting patients. Every month by which the development process can be shortened is worth US $25 million in additional income for the average drug, Can the recruitment time be shortened?
