One of the biggest challenges clinical data management faces is the sheer amount of data that needs to be processed. With more and more patient data becoming available, it can be difficult for CDM systems to keep up. In addition, many CDM systems are not user-friendly or interactive, making it difficult for users to get the most out of them. What challenges do clinical data management systems ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a multifactorial and multisystemic disorder that represents more than 50% of all heart failure cases.[1] Epidemiologic data from the Framingham Study, an international cohort study, shows a rapid increase in the prevalence of HFpEF over the past three decades, from 41% to 56% and, conversely, a decrease in the prevalence of HFrEF from 44% ...
CDISC compliance is mandatory for clinical trial submissions to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). The academic world is no exception. In fact, many academic institutions must achieve CDISC compliance in order to be granted funding for clinical research. CDISC standards can seem overwhelming, like a whole new language to be understood ...

As technology continues to advance software has become an important part of most products. It has become integrated widely into medical platforms. In 2019, the Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) market was estimated at about $18.4 million, and it is projected to reach $86 million by 2027 at an annual growth rate of 21.9%. As one of the fastest growing sectors in healthcare, we explore when ...
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a kind of DNA polymorphisms caused by single-nucleotide variants in both coding and non-coding regions, which are the most common and smallest variants. There are more than 3 million SNPs in the human genome with an average of 1 in 500-1000 base pairs. SNP microarrays are capable of detecting a large number of subtle DNA alterations and/or abnormal ...
Revisiting the “why” behind decision making can be a helpful exercise in all aspects of business. This is no less true for clinical operations executives when it comes to the clinical trial systems they employ to facilitate their teams’ work. The technology that supports clinical trial systems has evolved steadily over the past several decades, yet the ultimate goal of ...

Annual planning is an opportunity to fix this long-standing clinical operations issue At the beginning of many pharma companies’ financial year, an annual planning process occurs. This presents an opportunity for stakeholders to align on short-, mid-, and long-term goals. Clinical stage pharma companies focus on clinical-trial related goals. These include completing ongoing clinical ...
Genetics (i.e., mutations) are considered to be the main factor predisposing to the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but they account for only a few changes in RA disease risk, and in contrast to genetics, the environment may have an important impact on epigenetic properties associated with disease etiology. Recently, in a study published in the journal Scientific Reports entitled ...
Introducing Beacon Biosignals: a neurotechnology company founded to develop machine learning-enabled EEG neurobiomarkers and accelerate precision medicine for any disease state affecting the brain Founded by MD/PhDs and engineers from Harvard and MIT, Beacon is propelled by the vision of a computing platform designed to scale the interrogation of large brain datasets with unprecedented ...
Whether your clinical operations team sits in a large sponsor company, or in one that’s still growing, it must be supported by efficient systems to maintain high productivity. Clinical trial protocols must be conducted with quality, within budget, and within timelines. To achieve this, Clinical Program Managers and their teams must be able to rely on 4 things: A strong ...
The need for providing dialysis to patients in the ICU has increased overtime. Delivery of this care is challenging to health care systems (HCS) both in costs and ...
Blueberry Therapeutics is a drug development company committed to finding new and improved treatments for a range of dermatological conditions affecting the skin and nails. The future and long-term effect of the global COVID-19 pandemic (caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2 virus]) on dermatology practice and skin health is still unknown, but here we provide some ...
Do you have a patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) that you suspect may also have Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS)? With shared clinical and serological features, overlapping SS with SLE is a comorbidity that is often challenging to identify to promptly assist clinical management. ...
The cornea is essential for vision yet highly sensitive to immune-mediated damage following infection. Generating vaccines that provide sterile immunity against ocular surface pathogens without evoking vision loss is therefore clinically challenging. Here, we tested a prophylactic live-attenuated vaccine against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), a widespread human pathogen that can cause ...
In January this year (see “Monitoring employees’ use of the internet – the reality” from 31st January 2016 for the details) we reported on the European Court of Human Rights decision in Barbulescu v Romania surrounding the monitoring of employee emails and the right to privacy. The UK Employment Appeals Tribunal has also now considered the interaction between an ...
The increasing demand for reduced cost and improved quality of service in healthcare has prompted the call for better management of medical knowledge. The main emphasis has been on knowledge that is acquired through experience and medical research and then formalised into Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs). This paper presents a generic approach to CPG information and knowledge management that ...
