Since the COVID-19 pandemic, remote monitoring in clinical trials has become increasingly popular. During the pandemic, on-site trial participation became disrupted, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to conduct on-site clinical monitoring. This forced the clinical research industry to explore the possibilities of remote monitoring. Remote monitoring allows the investigator to collect and review…

One of the greatest challenges facing clinical trials is recruitment. It can be extremely difficult to recruit enough participants to take part in a clinical trial. In fact, it is so difficult that the majority of clinical trials fall short of the number of people they need, with some trials even struggling to recruit a…

The field of clinical research is the bedrock upon which modern medicine builds its advancements. The importance of addressing challenges and seizing opportunities in this domain cannot be overstated. As the healthcare and life sciences industry continues to evolve, an understanding of the impact of effective clinical research is vital to medical innovations and patient…

Clinical research is an ever-evolving field, constantly seeking new ways to innovate and adapt. One significant trend driving this change is the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In recent years, AI is revolutionising core aspects of research, supporting data-driven predictions, crucial for designing optimal clinical trials.  By leveraging causal AI models, researchers can enhance their…

Developing new and innovative treatments for disorders affecting the central nervous system is a long-standing issue in the landscape of CNS drug development. The complexity in the function of the brain and the spinal cord means development and trial success of new and effective CNS drugs is a long and often unsuccessful process.  Historically, failure…

CRO outsourcing is common practice in clinical trials; as the global clinical research market becomes ever more competitive, small to mid-size pharmaceutical and biotech companies must rely on the expertise, services and facilities of specialist clinical research organisations (CROs) and functional service providers (FSPs) to support their clinical development programs. By outsourcing to CROs with…

The development of bioanalytical methods and subsequent quantification of analytes in a range of biological matrices is fundamental to the drug discovery and development process. Having a reliable and robust methodology, for all target species, including human, plays a key role in understanding how investigational drugs are metabolised following administration.  By accurately evaluating both the…

You are coming close to having completed your nonclinical studies and you are beginning to think about your next steps.  But exactly what are those?  Chances are you are moving into unknown territory with your asset, and you may even have a crucial milestone to consider.  How do you navigate your way through the regulatory…

The world of medical research and development is constantly advancing, and clinical trials play a crucial role in bringing new treatments and cures to patients. However, conducting a successful clinical trial is a complex and expensive undertaking with the average cost of bringing a drug to market being around $2.3B. Clinical trials require precise planning,…

Being first to market with an innovator drug remains the ultimate goal for all, and most organisations are constantly reviewing timelines in order to achieve efficiencies through trial design, conduct and the reduction of downtime between phases of drug development. But clinical trials and drug development is an expensive and slow process, representing approximately 60%…
