#106 IT: IQVIA Innovation Theater: Redefining Patient Centricity in a Post-Pandemic Era
Component Type: Session

The pandemic forced our industry to challenge the status quo. We found innovative ways to reach patients, accelerate processes and leverage technology. These advances have one commonality: each puts the patient at the center of the clinical trial. How do we take the best of those innovations, turn them into best practices and not fall back into the way “we have always done it?” This session explores the next best for the future of patient-centric drug development.

#125 IT: PPD, part of Thermo Fisher Scientific Innovation Theater: Patients as Influencers - How Today’s Patients are Shaping Tomorrow’s Clinical Trial Designs
Component Type: Session

Today’s data increasingly supports the notion that patients prefer to engage in clinical research when and where more digitally flexible options are made available to them and their loved ones. Study participants are actively shaping the design and functionality of clinical research – sharing their outcomes and data through multiple modern channels and platforms. As life science leaders, we must help drive momentum for these changes and enhance access for underrepresented patient groups.

Component Type: Session

Innovations that include transformation at both the sponsor- and site-side of clinical research hold much potential for impact. The Decentralized Research Organization (DRO) model breaks down the activities and responsibilities of sites and sponsors into their atomic units, re-thinks and re-organizes those units, and then reassembles them in new ways that unlock untapped potential. Through this approach, 18 months of enrollment can be shortened to 3-6 months; diverse and underserved populations can participate in previously inaccessible study opportunities; and higher-quality data can be produced to assess the efficacy and safety of new medication.

Component Type: Session

Data acquisition in observational studies has traditionally relied on health care providers performing a review of the patient chart & manually entering data into a bespoke Electronic Data Capture system (EDC). This paradigm has been disrupted with the proliferation of interoperability solutions that enable the acquisition of secondary data for research purposes. One such solution that is fundamentally changing observational research is called Patient Mediated Electronic Medical Record Release.

The world of clinical research depends on the planning, quality and speed by which clinical trials are conducted. Too much time is lost in processes that take away from the goals of delivering life saving products to patients.

More energy, commitment and leadership is needed in the conduct of trials and its foundation of operations, and determination of where we can save time in the many processes to deliver studies.

There is a direct correlation to saving patient lives
  • Get smarter results faster to manage outcomes
  • Eliminate humans doing manual tasks
  • Improve oversight of compliance via technology
