In this video interview, Rajneesh Patil, global head of AI, digital, and innovation in clinical development at Syneos Health, identifies three recurring failure modes in AI governance frameworks—and explains why responsible AI must be an ongoing operating discipline, not a one-time approval gate.

In this video interview, Rajneesh Patil, global head of AI, digital, and innovation in clinical development at Syneos Health, explains why the shift from narrow AI tools to a continuous learning clinical operating system is where the real operational value lies—and what it takes to get there.

In this Q&A, Saamir Pasha and Carole Berini, PhD, of Ontada discuss what it takes to harmonize fragmented oncology data into reliable real-world evidence, how lab markers can proxy for missing functional status data, and where the biggest remaining barriers to consistent RWE generation lie.

Clinical trial endpoints define what success looks like, but patients and caregivers are rarely the ones setting that definition, and the gap between what trials measure and what patients actually value is showing up in post-approval evidence, regulatory submissions, and the design rooms where protocols are written.

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.
