  • The Evolution of RBQM: From Regulatory Compliance to Proven ROI and Data Quality

    Clinical Research NewsToday, RBQM offers not just regulatory compliance but the ability to add measurable value to drug development and sponsor organizations. However, many organizations are still operating with fragmented tools, static risk registers and reactive monitoring models. To unlock the true power of RBQM, the industry needs to embrace its potential as a live, operational oversight model. more...

  • If We Were Designing Clinical Research Today, Would We Still Separate Source Documentation from Data Capture?

    Clinical Research News | Clinical research has never been only about generating evidence that a therapy is safe or effective. It is equally about generating confidence in the evidence itself. Every observation, every assessment, every protocol deviation, every adverse event, every laboratory result, and every conclusion must be supported by documentation that can withstand scrutiny. We work in a profession built on verification. “Trust but verify” is woven into our quality systems. “If it wasn't documented, it wasn't done” is probably the most recognized sentence in our field. more...

  • The Adherence Imperative: Clinical Operations and Patient Centricity

    Clinical Research News | Participant adherence is a leading indicator of trial health. Adherence reflects patient centricity as a measure of how effectively a clinical trial has removed barriers, supported participants throughout the study journey and enabled sites to deliver a high-quality participant experience. As participant experiences improve, usually so does adherence, especially considering that approximately half of all dropouts in phases 2-3 come down to participant choice rather than adverse reactions or study staff decisions. more...

  • Global Effort to Overhaul Regulatory Framework for AI Medical Devices

    Clinical Research News | Data routinely captured to track health and measure wellness do not reflect ground truth, as is well known in the field of medical informatics. That imperfect healthcare data is nonetheless being used to train artificial intelligence (AI) models powering devices used in patient care, often having never been evaluated on their clinical effectiveness. more...
