On-Demand Webinar | How Five COVID-19 Technology Innovations are Reducing Risk in Clinical Trials

Recorded on: August 5, 2020

During COVID-19, regulators and sponsors show pragmatism and flexibility in terms of mitigating challenges in the current climate. The combination of digital distribution, innovation, and flexibility enabled the clinical trial community to expedite drug development during the COVID-19 pandemic while also minimizing risks to patient and trial success. During this session, we will explore how new and reimagined technology innovations are addressing the impact of COVID-19.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Minimizing challenges arising as shelter in place guidelines are relaxed with limited onsite capacity and increased demand for onsite monitoring visits
  • Minimizing trial monitoring risks through guided evaluation of quality data, mitigation, and risk control mechanism strategies
  • Leveraging next-generation analytical tools and algorithms to support remote monitoring and maintain oversight
  • Securely and remotely performing critical document management and source document review (SDR)
