SCOPE Europe 2023: Decreasing Burden in Data Collection

In an interview at SCOPE Europe 2023 with Applied Clinical Trials Editor, Andy Studna, Tony Mikulaschek, VP, eCOA, IQVIA Technologies addresses what stakeholders should be thinking of in the data collection space moving forward.

Mikulaschek: DHTs and COAs are really important for the industry, the regulatory bodies have defined the need for that information. For regulatory submissions they are very, very interested in the data from the patient perspective of the therapies and what they do, so it's important that we capture that information. That's one. Number two, we need to make sure that capturing that information is not too much of a burden for the subjects or the sites, so we can make sure that we can continually have the consistency in the compliance to meet the protocol needs without burdening sites or patients.

Mistral and OpenAI produced identical overall eligibility labels across 200 synthetic patient-study assessments, with criterion-level disagreements concentrated in inclusion criteria where models switch between “Uncertain” and “Not included” when records lack sufficient evidence, so model choice should be driven by deployment architecture, control, and cost rather than assumed interchangeability.
The Human Side of Clinical Trials: Before Burden Becomes Risk, Capturing Friction in Real Time
