At the BIO meeting in Atlanta (May 18-21), the Chairman of Datapharm Australia Pty Ltd, Dr Helen Allars, signed an agreement with Mark Richardson, Managing Director of Phoenix Eagle Company Pty Ltd, based in Western Australia, to conduct the first randomized clinical trial of its OPAL A papaya product in healing venous and pressure ulcers. The randomized study will be conducted in Melbourne with a key opinion leader in the field of wound healing, Associate Professor Michael Woodward, as Principal Investigator. Datapharm’s medical director, Dr Lynette Tozer, has recently commenced writing up the case histories of the use of the papaya product in the treatment of chronic pressure ulcers in quadriplegic patients at an Australian hospital. Her initial observations indicate that this natural product has the potential to become a significant wound healing medicine.

Clinical trials capture data faster than ever, but the real bottleneck is the distance between data capture and a decision teams can trust.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why the future of AI in trials is a trusted orchestration system rather than a single model, how coordinators rate eSource-enabled workflows, and what a bipartisan bill proposes for reusable trial networks.
The Faster Clinical Trials Act would create an FDA Center for Clinical Trial Innovation and aims to cut trial costs and enrollment time by at least 30%.
Standardized measurement across five oncology centers found that clinical research coordinators rated eSource-enabled workflows positively (Overall Mean Satisfaction 5.79 of 7), with reduced manual entry and electronic data transfer earning strong marks, while perceived reduction in sponsor and monitor queries lagged as the one domain below threshold.
In this video interview, Rajneesh Patil, global head of AI, digital, and innovation in clinical development at Syneos Health, describes the industry’s trajectory toward a unified intelligence orchestration environment—and explains why the future isn’t one model that knows everything, but a trusted system that brings the right evidence to the right human decision.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how sites can avoid both fear-driven and overly aggressive AI adoption, why community-based research needs sustained financial investment, and why patient access matters more than organizational size.
Pacing obesity trial enrollment, anchoring eligibility to stable real-world therapies, and building site and physician relationships improve retention and data quality more than aggressive recruitment or restrictive exclusion criteria do.
