The eCOA Checklist—by YPrime

In this video interview, James Cheong, senior vice president of Asia Pacific at Precision for Medicine, shares three priorities for first-time APAC sponsors: aligning with marketing authorization plans, selecting the right sites, and choosing a CRO with regional experience and KOL networks.

FDA and EMA expectations shape how sponsors use CGM in diabetes trials, from blinding and study-provisioned devices to data integrity and ePRO integration.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why APAC is attractive for global Phase III programs, how clinical research professionals can turn a failed pivotal trial into a redesigned success, and how FDA approved Sunharbo to reduce recurrent stroke risk.

A pivotal trial that missed its primary endpoint became the basis for a successful redesign after the team used the data to define the high-risk patients most likely to benefit, showing that setbacks can strengthen development when organizations interrogate the evidence rather than abandon it.

In this video interview, James Cheong, senior vice president of Asia Pacific at Precision for Medicine, outlines why faster recruitment, local data requirements for registration, and lower costs make APAC attractive for global Phase III programs.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how China’s trial startup timelines compare with those in the US and Europe, whether AI-drafted clinical study reports speed drug development, and how Bimzelx compared with Skyrizi in psoriatic arthritis.

AI can draft a CSR in minutes, but the report only reflects evidence that has already converged, so faster drafting shifts the bottleneck to upstream reconciliation, database-lock readiness, and human accountability rather than shortening the trial itself.

In this video interview, James Cheong, senior vice president of Asia Pacific at Precision for Medicine, details how NMPA reforms, parallel reviews, and expanded reviewer capacity brought China’s startup timelines in line with the US and Europe, and could shorten them further.
