Paperless Clinical Trials Survey, June 2016

In today's ACT Brief, we examine how representation gaps in trials are shaped by structural design decisions, how new partnerships automate data transfer from site systems to sponsor platforms, and how Roche is licensing a novel obesity target from a biotech pioneer.

The partnership gives RealTime's network of more than 3,000 research sites access to the Archer platform for direct, automated data transfer from eSource to any sponsor electronic data capture system or data destination.

In this video interview, Saamir Pasha and Carole Berini, PhD, of Ontada, identify three persistent obstacles to consistent real-world evidence generation in oncology—inconsistent data capture, structural data limitations that modeling alone can't fix, and the need for earned generalizability through deliberate multi-site validation.

How a phased CRO partnership built on ICH E6(R2) and E6(R3) principles supported a multi-indication biotech portfolio.

The second of a two-part perspective examining why clinical trial enrollment and representation outcomes are shaped long before the first patient is screened.

In this video interview, Saamir Pasha and Carole Berini, PhD, of Ontada, describe what operationalizing regulatory-grade quality frameworks requires—and why fit-for-purpose evidence generation is a transparency and documentation discipline, not just a data cleanliness exercise.

AI can turn complex protocols into first-pass budget inputs, letting sponsors start budgeting sooner while budget builders shift from data entry to review.

Trialbee CEO Matt Walz explores the current impact of AI in delivering practical gains in clinical development and reflects on its future potential, where enrollment predictability may be the biggest prize of all.
