Accelerating Drug Development by Harnessing Technology

Life Sciences, Pharma, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Friday, June 07, 2013

In order to meet the challenges of rising product development costs, generics, and patent cliffs, the biopharma industry must utilize information technology. We have the opportunity to tackle our challenges through technology-based collaborations to plan, design, and execute clinical development. This webinar will explore how biopharma can use information technology to bring drugs to market faster, better, and cheaper.

Partnerships with a technology focus demand a move toward a relationship where trust is built through transparency and shared access to data. This allows side-by-side collaboration to identify signals and trends and make proactive decisions. Companies that fully grasp the trust-through-transparency partnership model know access to data essential, not physical custody. As a result, these companies are reaping the greatest rewards from new technology.

Moreover, sponsors and CROs alike can use technology solutions to drive more effective processes — triggers, alerts, and calls to action — to improve efficiency during each cycle within a clinical trial, such as:

  1.  Identifying suitable sites via historic information;
  2.  Having access to recruitment data across sites, studies, regions or therapeutics;
  3. Using maintenance data on protocol deviations, queries, and subject safety issues; and
  4. Knowing that at database lock, information points to where efforts should be focused, we can optimize processes for productivity, efficiency, and value.
