Inspection & Audit Preparation in Decentralized Trials
To ensure successful end-to-end execution of a DCT, steps to ensure audit readiness must be taken. We have outlined several areas for consideration to ensure audit readiness from start-up through submission.
Data Integrity Considerations in Decentralized Trials
Collected data from DCTs need to be integrated with other data captured during the course of a clinical trial, and data integrity must be ensured in the absence of source data verification. Two topics will be discussed: how to manage this integration and ensure confidence in the collected data.
Trends in Clinical Trial Participation of Approved Drugs by Sex and Race: 2015 to 2019
Diversity in clinical research is important for ethical and scientific reasons. When women and non-White populations are not represented in clinical research, this limits our understanding of the safety and efficacy of drugs to treat important health issues in these populations. Learn more about these findings in Yael Symes’ comprehensive blog.
The Future, Today: Artificial Intelligence Applications for Clinical Research
Artificial Intelligence apps use machine learning algorithms to improve the user experience. Machine learning (ML) algorithms make predictions and, in turn, learn from their own predictions resulting in improved performance over time. What does all this mean for clinical research?
Challenges in Clinical Data Management: Findings from the Tufts CSDD Impact Report
The most recent Impact Report from the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development presented the results of a study including nearly 260 sponsor and CRO companies into clinical data management practices and experience. These findings represent the challenges those of us in clinical data management are struggling with given the current state of the clinical research industry and technological changes.
Highlights from TEDMED 2017
After attending TEDMED 2017, we wanted to share highlights of the themes that were most interesting to us. Check out our summaries on Understanding the Brain, Delivering Healthcare on the Frontlines, The Opioid Crisis and The Hive.
Key Takeaways from the 2nd Annual Strategies in Patient Centered Clinical Research Conference
Patient centricity is garnering broad attention in our industry, but finding time to thoroughly explore the principles and practices of the movement can be difficult. We were excited to spend two full days immersed in discussion and collaboration with some of the industry pioneers in patient-centered clinical research. We wanted to share our take on the main themes and trends that stood out to us from the event.
