In today's ACT Brief, we examine why defensible trial data depends on traceability and platform ownership, what CGT site readiness requires as therapy moves to community care, and why data harmonization is AI's primary bottleneck.

ERT Adds Centralized Data Surveillance for Respiratory Trials
Features of the Centralized Data Surveillance include: • Assessing protocol risks, needs and key performance metrics such as site proficiency, calibration, rest between maneuvers, protocol adherence, acceptable/unacceptable Best Test Review data errors impacting the start of tests, and amount of data with repeatability issues

ERT, a global provider of patient safety and efficacy endpoint data collection, cloud analytics and workflow solutions announced Centralized Data Surveillance to support Risk-Based Monitoring in respiratory clinical research.
Features of the Centralized Data Surveillance include:
- Assessing protocol risks, needs and key performance metrics such as site proficiency, calibration, rest between maneuvers, protocol adherence, acceptable/unacceptable Best Test Review data errors impacting the start of tests, and amount of data with repeatability issues
- Analyzing endpoint data in near real-time to continuously fine-tune the monitoring strategy
- Supporting or executing an intervention plan to address risks and data deviations as they arise, targeting sites for training, on-site monitor visits and other interventions to boost data quality

Cell and gene therapy access expands into community care settings only when operational coordination, site readiness, and supply chain standardization become first-order priorities equivalent to manufacturing capacity, requiring standardized processes, digital integration, and distributed logistics networks.
In this episode of Beyond Compliance, Otis Johnson, PhD, MPA, founder and principal consultant at Vantix Operations, speaks with Cecilia Xi, PhD, VP of clinical and scientific affairs at Vivalink, about why defensible trial data depends on traceability, platform ownership, and device strategy long after a study ends.
In today's ACT Brief, we examine understanding the patient journey from end to end, whether decentralization reduces site burden or just shifts it, and why nine European drugmakers are sounding urgent alarms.
Decentralized trial models have demonstrated real gains in enrollment performance and patient access, but operational switching costs, fragmented technology stacks, and unresolved gaps in the patient-site relationship raise a question the industry has been slow to confront directly.
In a video interview prior to the 2026 DPHARM conference, Andrea Valente, CEO of uMotif, explains why truly understanding the patient journey from beginning to end—and building that understanding into both study design and data collection tools—remains one of the industry's most important unfinished tasks.
In today's ACT Brief, we examine technology's real role in patient-site collaboration, why AI pilot failures stem from organization not innovation, and Novo's weight-loss drug results in competitive comparison.
Most AI pilots in drug development fail not from poor technology but from lack of strategic prioritization, organizational readiness, integrated data infrastructure, and disciplined governance, making success dependent on business discipline rather than technical capability.
