The New Era of Evidence Generation in Clinical Trials
In this webinar, learn how top pharma are using novel innovations to drive greater speed, scale, and access in clinical research than ever before in this webinar hosted by Musaddiq Khan, Vice President of DCT Solutions at Medable.
How partnership ensured a successful first digital trial
Since our inception in 2015, Medable has conducted over 300+ digital and decentralized trials using eCOA, eConsent, telehealth, and more. However, just as a bell curve shows, adoption rates for new technologies can wildly vary across our industry. While some organizations quickly implement new technologies, others take a more cautious approach.
Together, this team, which included Mihai Viisan, a Solution Design SME, Luka Ajduk, a Product Implementation Lead, and Ted Meyer, the Supply Chain Coordinator, built a trusting working relationship in which Medable led study implementation.
Back to basics: What is a clinical trial platform--eCOAs, digital measures, and more
Modern clinical trials employ various digital-based tools and technologies designed to increase the speed, accuracy, and ease of conducting clinical trials. In the best-case scenario, these tools are housed in the same experience or a “clinical trial platform.”
Clinical trial platforms are software-based, web-based, and/or cloud-based solutions that facilitate clinical trial research throughout its entire lifecycle. They offer a complete technology ecosystem that connects patients, research sites, and trial sponsors from patient recruitment to close out and data submission. Users of clinical trial platforms can access and operationalize all of their digital-based tools through this connected platform. Platforms can prevent users from accessing parts of the platform not permitted for them. For instance, participants can not view other participants' data or gain access to tools meant for sites. Other users, like sponsors’ study teams, have access to the full suite of tools as needed based on their roles.
