MHRA cuts approval times in half
Big win for clinical research, the MHRA has cut approval times in half from 91 days to just 41 by combining AI tools with regulatory reforms. Low-risk studies can now launch in as little as 14 days, thanks to systems like the Knowledge Hub and GMP Compliance Checker that flag issues early and streamline reviews.
At UpTrials, we’re equally focused on speed from the staffing side.
Our AI-powered platform helps research sites, CROs, and sponsors fill roles faster, automate onboarding, and accelerate trial start-up because faster approvals mean nothing without the right people in place.
The future of trials isn’t just faster science, it’s faster staffing too 🙂
