Preventable Problems

The development and delivery of cutting-edge medical treatments, drugs, and devices depends on the successful completion of clinical trials. Such studies require high-quality data, affordability, patient safety, and time sensitivity. In today’s clinical trial climate, data are everywhere. The ways in which participant information is now collected – from wearable devices to eJournals – means that researchers are inundated with usable, insightful data. This is undoubtedly an advantage to the integrity of clinical trials, but requires innovative, sophisticated technology and IT systems to cope. However, the complexity of modern-day clinical trials extends beyond data. Increasingly, large trials become harder to manage and traditional methods of study management are no longer always sufficient. Therefore, modern approaches are needed to ensure that trial quality and patient safety are retained.

Risk-based monitoring (RBM), as a component of an overall risk management approach, provides a platform for life sciences companies to enhance the quality and integrity of their clinical trials data by prioritising resources based on the safety of subjects. RBM is an adaptive approach that directs monitoring focus and activities to the areas needing the greatest attention, which have the highest ability to impact patient safety and data quality.

RBM is becoming one of the most valued approaches in clinical trial management; by improving data quality and allowing enhanced study oversight, RBM enables clinical trial managers to utilise technology to facilitate data integration. The ultimate goal is to move traditional RBM towards a management approach, one which is now standard across the industry.

Cold-chain Bioprocessing Readiness: Mitigating Risk and Protecting Pharmaceutical Products

Entegris

The pharmaceutical industry is migrating rapidly toward a world where drugs, vaccines, and specialized therapies are available on demand to patients anywhere around the globe. Whether accelerating clinical trials to bring new drugs to market or devel oping biosimilars to give more patients access to established commercial drugs, small and midsize production facilities stand to benefit from growing demand. To do so, however, they must be prepared to handle a broader mix of products and increase throughput without sacrificing safety or reliability, while at the same time keeping life-saving medica tions affordable. Such challenges become more difficult when working with products that must be stored and shipped in a frozen state.
