In this video interview from the 2026 DIA Global Annual Meeting, Kevin Bugin, head of global regulatory policy and intelligence at Amgen and executive sponsor of TransCelerate's Embedded Pragmatic Trials initiative, reframes the FDA's continuous review expectations around real-time evidence generation and explains why quality by design—not data cleanup—is what regulators are now demanding.
In this video interview, Raj Indupuri, CEO and co-founder of eClinical Solutions, explains why organizations that build infrastructure capable of harmonizing clinical and real-world data in real time will be best positioned for the continuous, data-driven regulatory environment now emerging.
In this video interview, Raj Indupuri, CEO and co-founder of eClinical Solutions, describes how giving sponsors the ability to inject their own SOPs, protocols, and governance frameworks into AI systems is the key to building the trust needed for real-world adoption.
In this video interview, Raj Indupuri, CEO and co-founder of eClinical Solutions, argues that study-by-study RBM is no longer sufficient and describes what enterprise-wide, AI-enabled risk and quality management looks like in practice.
In this video interview, Raj Indupuri, CEO and co-founder of eClinical Solutions, makes the case that governance and quality must be built into every stage of the trial life cycle—not enforced at database lock or submission—and what that requires from teams and technology.
In this video interview, Raj Indupuri, CEO and co-founder of eClinical Solutions, explains why the FDA's push toward continuous data review exposes the fragmentation at the heart of current clinical trial infrastructure and what unified data pipelines need to look like to make it possible.
In this video interview, Liz Beatty, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Inato, makes the case for moving beyond trial-by-trial planning toward cross-asset site partnerships—and explains why sites are three times more likely to share patient data when sponsors make that shift.
In this video interview, Liz Beatty, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Inato, explains why asking sites to use different technology for every sponsor remains a major barrier to AI adoption and what a site-first approach to technology development looks like in practice.
In this video interview, Liz Beatty, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Inato, shares results from a Sanofi COPD study where AI-enabled sites screened patients 33% faster and achieved 100% enrollment success—including one site that had been non-performing for over 100 days.
In this video interview, Liz Beatty, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Inato, explains how AI is replacing unreliable feasibility estimates with precise, real-time patient matching—and what that means for reducing non-enrolling sites and screen failure rates.
In this video interview, Abraham Gutman, founder and CEO of AG Mednet, shares his key takeaways from SCOPE X, including a pointed caution against the idea that agentic AI can run clinical trials autonomously and why process architecture is the real entry point for AI to deliver on its promise.
In this video interview, Abraham Gutman, founder and CEO of AG Mednet, describes how AI can take on rote reasoning tasks like PHI redaction and document QA, and why offloading that work is what gives human experts the clarity to focus on genuine decision making.
In this video interview, Sam Hinsley, statistics manager at Phastar, explains why early phase decisions are the foundation of the entire development pathway and what is at stake statistically when those decisions are made on limited data.
In this video interview, Sam Hinsley, statistics manager at Phastar, introduces the Early Phase ESIG, a new special interest group bringing together statisticians from across academia and industry to share knowledge and raise standards in early phase research.
In this video interview, Sam Hinsley, statistics manager at Phastar, makes the case that as trial designs grow more complex, collaboration between statisticians and clinical experts is not just helpful but necessary to get meaningful answers.
In this video interview, Sam Hinsley, statistics manager at Phastar, explains how statisticians can ensure patient data is used responsibly and innovatively across every phase of development, from rare disease to personalized medicine to AI.
In this video interview, Sam Hinsley, statistics manager at Phastar, reflects on why she chose a career in clinical trials and what it means to do work that she believes makes a genuine difference.
In this conversation between Rebecca Johnson, PhD, ACT EAB member and clinical research recruitment and inclusion executive and strategist; and Adrelia Allen, executive director of clinical trial patient diversity at Merck, Allen describes how improving representation has changed trial design and site selection at Merck, where the hardest barriers remain, and what the industry will need to sustain meaningful progress over the next five years.
In this conversation between Rebecca Johnson, PhD, ACT EAB member and clinical research recruitment and inclusion executive and strategist; and Adrelia Allen, executive director of clinical trial patient diversity at Merck, Allen explains how Let's Talk Trials was designed to address gaps in clinical trial awareness and access, what differentiates it from earlier efforts, and how trust sits at the center of the initiative's approach.
