Optimizing Clinical Trials through IT
Business Insights, May 2011, Pages: 82
A wide variety of information technologies are now employed in support of clinical trials. Pharma companies are beginning to take a more holistic view and seek to integrate their management and oversight of the trial. This report examines how industry trends are shaping these technologies, and how they can be optimally applied to improve, quality, safety and efficiency in clinical trials.
Features and benefits
- Examine the trends shaping clinical trials.
- Learn how social media are being used in patient recruitment.
- Analyse the potential of electronic health record data in clinical development.
- Review the ways in which cloud computing is changing clinical trials.
- Understand the future of information technology use in clinical trials.
Highlights
- The EDC market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 13%, reaching $1.2bn in 2016. EDC will be employed in smaller studies as services become commoditized and set-up times and costs reduce. The key trend within EDC is the move towards an integrated eClinical approach in which data from multiple sources is integrated in a hub arrangement.
- The majority of trial sites do not meet their enrolment targets. To address this, a variety of sources of data can be used to optimize patient recruitment through better protocol design, site selection and patient identification. Site performance data, electronic patient records, and health information networks are the key sources.
- Cloud architecture will gain penetration, which will reduce the demand for internal IT resource. In parallel, patients, site staff and trial managers will access trial software using wide range of channels and devices. Pharma sponsors will take an increasingly holistic view, enmeshing their information strategies with wider organizational goals.
