AI in Biotech Clinical Development: Why You Can't Afford to Retrofit
Author(s)Castor
As emerging biopharmas race to integrate Artificial Intelligence into their clinical pipelines, many make the costly mistake of retrofitting AI onto slow, legacy EDC systems. Watch this expert panel to learn how modern, AI-native clinical data platforms automate data reconciliation, accelerate study builds, and future-proof your Phase II/III trials.

In this video interview, Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, calls for safe harbor protections, CMS reimbursement safeguards, and funding mechanisms modeled on EHR meaningful use to help community and rural institutions participate in research on par with academic centers.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why community and rural patients lack access to research as a care option, what makes AI assistants trustworthy in regulated trials, and how FDA draft guidance could let gene editing therapies cover patient-specific variants.
In this Q&A, E.K. Koh, chief product officer at Suvoda, discusses what separates a trustworthy AI assistant from one that adds risk, why curated clinical knowledge matters more than general-purpose flexibility, and what safeguards must be in place when assistants move from answering questions to taking actions in clinical trial systems.
In this video interview, Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, explains why patients in community and rural settings too often lack access to clinical research as a care option, and how closing that gap could improve outcomes and lower long-term costs.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why anti-kickback guidance and EHR-integrated trial matching must work together in community settings, why real-time trials depend on mature risk-based quality management, and how pharma is applying digital clones to predict outcomes.
The FDA’s RTCT initiative transmits predefined, clinically meaningful signals to regulators during active trials, so its value depends entirely on the maturity of sponsors’ upstream RBQM signal intelligence, KRIs, QTLs, and root-cause context, rather than on data speed.
In this video interview, Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, outlines why anti-kickback guidance and modern EHR-integrated trial matching technology must work in tandem to reach representative patient populations at the community level.
