The Key To Innovation In Clinical Research? Listening.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine what changes when AI is embedded across clinical operations, why faster trial data isn’t yet producing faster decisions, and how FDA granted accelerated approval to a therapy for a rare airway disease.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine what policy changes would help community and rural institutions join research, how Walmart is expanding clinical trial centers into three more states, and how FDA approved Ilumya for adults with active psoriatic arthritis.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why community and rural patients lack access to research as a care option, what makes AI assistants trustworthy in regulated trials, and how FDA draft guidance could let gene editing therapies cover patient-specific variants.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why anti-kickback guidance and EHR-integrated trial matching must work together in community settings, why real-time trials depend on mature risk-based quality management, and how pharma is applying digital clones to predict outcomes.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how legacy workflows pull community clinics away from patient care, why medical writing capacity depends on training rather than technology, and how an antiviral aims to prevent COVID-19 after exposure

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how cost barriers and site infrastructure limit participation in community trials, why endpoints should reflect what patients actually experience, and how the FDA expanded a prostate cancer combination to an earlier treatment setting.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how sites can avoid both fear-driven and overly aggressive AI adoption, why community-based research needs sustained financial investment, and why patient access matters more than organizational size.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how AI is moving into continuous clinical operating models, how trust is built into oncology real-world evidence, and how the FDA approved a self-administered option for thyroid eye disease.
