NEW YORK, N.Y. – September 8, 2015 –
“Pneumococcal infections-including pneumonia, blood infections and meningitis-can be extremely difficult to treat, making prevention through vaccination a critical component of patient care,” said Yi Zhang, Vice President, Walvax. “We’re pleased to be using Medidata’s robust, globally-validated technology to bring greater speed and operational efficiencies to our pneumococcal conjugate vaccine trials, ultimately leading to a safe and effective way to ensure young children are protected from the devastating effects of pneumococcal diseases.”
Founded in 2001, Walvax Biotechnology specializes in the research, development, production and distribution of bio-medicine products, including vaccines and blood products. To optimize the execution of its novel research on a vaccine for pneumococcal conjugate (PCV13)-the first multi-center clinical trials to be conducted on infants and toddlers in China-Walvax is utilizing Medidata’s cloud-based technology for electronic data capture and management (
"Medidata's cloud-based platform is designed to bring efficiencies to clinical trials of all sizes and therapeutics areas," said Takeru Yamamoto, Medidata’s managing director of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. "We’re proud to be collaborating with Walvax as the organization advances pneumococcal conjugate vaccine research in China, resulting in better preventative treatment for young people around the world."

Patients don’t experience primary endpoints, so trials that stop at biomarkers and rigid rating scales risk declaring success while leaving daily burden untouched, and digital tools only deliver meaningful evidence when they are co-designed with patients and deployed with restraint.
Aardvark released exploratory data from its stopped Phase 3 HERO trial in Prader-Willi syndrome after FDA lifted the hold, and plans a redesigned Phase 3.
Clinical trials capture data faster than ever, but the real bottleneck is the distance between data capture and a decision teams can trust.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why the future of AI in trials is a trusted orchestration system rather than a single model, how coordinators rate eSource-enabled workflows, and what a bipartisan bill proposes for reusable trial networks.
The Faster Clinical Trials Act would create an FDA Center for Clinical Trial Innovation and aims to cut trial costs and enrollment time by at least 30%.
Standardized measurement across five oncology centers found that clinical research coordinators rated eSource-enabled workflows positively (Overall Mean Satisfaction 5.79 of 7), with reduced manual entry and electronic data transfer earning strong marks, while perceived reduction in sponsor and monitor queries lagged as the one domain below threshold.
In this video interview, Rajneesh Patil, global head of AI, digital, and innovation in clinical development at Syneos Health, describes the industry’s trajectory toward a unified intelligence orchestration environment—and explains why the future isn’t one model that knows everything, but a trusted system that brings the right evidence to the right human decision.
