Learn how organizing data assets, activating nonresearch HCPs, and building referral pathways with compliant remuneration can convert identified patients into enrolled participants.
In 2025, both big pharma and biotech are redefining decision-making as AI, real-world evidence, and flexible deal structures accelerate drug development, flatten organizational silos, and close the innovation gap across the life sciences ecosystem.
In today’s ACT Brief, we look at how adaptive trial models are reshaping precision medicine, new data showing Wegovy’s impact on liver health, and Eli Lilly’s latest collaborations advancing genetic and RNA-based therapies.
Gain insight into why sponsors are taking a larger role in site selection and CRO oversight using robust data to validate feasibility before launch.
Novel trial designs are reshaping clinical development by improving efficiency, reducing redundancies, and accelerating timelines toward a new era of precision medicine.
Cogent Biosciences’ combination therapy cut the risk of disease progression or death by 50% compared to sunitinib alone, with a favorable safety profile and plans for FDA submission in early 2026.
In today’s ACT Brief, we explore how AI and tokenized data are improving patient-protocol matching, highlight Caplyta’s new FDA approval for major depressive disorder, and review the FDA’s expansion of its National Priority Voucher program.
Discover why strategies must vary by indication and geography and how data-driven matching with supported referrals can outperform site expansion and generic advertising.
Caplyta (lumateperone) demonstrated significant symptom improvement and favorable tolerability as an add-on treatment for adults with major depressive disorder, supported by two pivotal Phase III trials and long-term extension data.
