Empowering Precision Medicine: Transforming Clinical Trials with Precision-Based Solutions

ACRP

Precision medicine has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing the landscape of clinical trials and offering new hope for advancement of critical medicines. However, the intricate nature of precision medicine requires precision-based solutions for trial sponsors, clinical research organizations (CROs), labs, and research sites. The existing clinical trial management approaches no longer suffice, as they fail to serve the best interests of all stakeholders involved as the complexity of trials increases. Manual processes within the trial system often lead to operational challenges that also create data silos which cause mistakes carrying hefty consequences for patients, including the denial of entry into potentially life-saving trials when protocols are not followed. A lack of focus on effective communications and global data compliance can also prove to be costly in the long run.

To address these pressing issues, trial sponsors and research sites must pivot toward precision-based solutions. This transformation involves leaning into automation; prioritizing effective communication between sponsors, sites, and all vendors; and ensuring biospecimen protocol adherence. Having a game plan in place for global data compliance and implementing these strategies will surely promise substantial, long-term benefits. Read more…
