SGS Life Science Services, a pharmaceutical clinical and bioanalytical contract solutions provider, announced that its Biometrics group, one of the largest European data management, statistics and medical writing teams, became a Medidata Rave® accredited partner. Medidata Rave captures, manages and reports clinical research data, designed to help life science companies optimize their research investments, by efficiently streamlining the clinical trial process.
Medidata’s accreditation program for Rave is an in-depth qualification program through both build and process enablement tracks, with the aim for partners to provide end-user training, user and site administration, study build, reporting, outputs and migration services. Implementing Rave studies since 2010, and a Medidata CTMS™ partner for more than five years, SGS Life Science Services has robust and fully optimized processes in place, allowing for short set-up timelines that support the clinical team’s challenge of getting First Patient In (FPI) on time.

In this video interview, Claire Riches, VP of clinical solutions at Citeline, explains how AI is shifting trial risk management from reactive to proactive—enabling sponsors to pressure-test protocols and anticipate pivots before a single patient is enrolled.
In today's ACT Brief, we examine AI's role as trial design advisor with human leadership, how to govern autonomous agents in regulated operations, and real-world outcomes from switching to oral weight-loss therapy.
AI agents in clinical operations acquire broader autonomous capability through expanded permissions, tools, memory, and delegated authority, requiring governance focused on whether effective capability has shifted outside approved boundaries rather than whether software has changed.
In this video interview, Claire Riches, VP of clinical solutions at Citeline, makes the case for AI as a sophisticated strategic advisor in trial design while arguing that humans must remain in the lead—especially when factors the model can't fully account for are at stake.
In today's ACT Brief, we examine how data drives honest enrollment assumptions, why RWE infrastructure lags ambition, and the disconnect between FDA rulemaking and enforcement on compounded therapies.
RWE is finding a role earlier in drug development than ever before, but the data quality, integration, and organizational alignment required to make it regulatory-grade are still catching up to the ambition.
In this video interview, Claire Riches, VP of clinical solutions at Citeline, explains why combining analog trial performance data with real-world patient data and site-level recruitment history gives sponsors a far more honest picture of whether their enrollment assumptions are actually achievable.
