New medical treatments haven’t reached everyone equally. Why? A lack of diversity in clinical trials. African Americans make up 13% of the US population but only 5% of clinical trial participants. Similarly, Hispanics are vastly underrepresented, comprising 15% of the population but just 1% of trial participants. (1) This disparity has real-world consequences. Treatments… Continue reading Why Diversity in Clinical Trials Matters
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) herald a new era of regulatory operations in clinical trials. These advanced technologies are revolutionizing how companies manage regulatory data, predict outcomes, and ensure compliance, ultimately leading to greater efficiency and accuracy. From the IQVIA article published on its website on June 10, 2024, we would like… Continue reading 4 Key Benefits of AI & Machine Learning in Clinical Trials
Clinical trial participation is the core of future medical advances. But for sites, recruiting patients in clinical trials and conducting them on the journey is usually a challenging task, driving to nearly 80% of trials failing to meet on-time enrollment (1). In a digital era, technology is at the service of improved trial participation and… Continue reading Six Benefits of Automating the Recruiting Flow in Clinical Trials
From the ideation of the scientific question, sponsors can consider integrating ePRO tools in protocol designs. Decentralized and hybrid clinical trials can widen the data points and make the most of each trial. Here we share five steps to introduce an ePRO into a protocol: Define the objectives an ePRO tool can address: Identify the… Continue reading How to include an ePRO in your protocol design
