2021 has been a year of rapid, seismic change in clinical trials and clinical trial oversight. A year ago as we approached the end of 2020, COVID vaccines were only just starting to get approved. World travel was still dramatically restricted. Joe Biden was not yet inaugurated. In short, it was a lifetime ago.
As a world and as an industry, we have come together and made it through.
At Concinnity, we have grown even more passionate about our role in bringing life changing treatments to market more quickly, safely and efficiently. The future of clinical trial oversight is undoubtedly digital, and utilizing smart software to facilitate information access, control process and highlight outcomes is imperative.
As the year comes to a close, we wanted to share a few of our favorite insights from this past year. We invite you to look back with us, and take a moment to pause and reflect on what challenges and changes the year has brought for you.
1. 4 CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR CLINICAL TRIAL OVERSIGHT
“In this age where digitally enabled productivity gains are accelerating the fourth industrial revolution across industries, it means identifying and making critical changes. Boston Consulting Group has found that 70% of digital transformations end in failure, and that just 30% of companies are succeeding. So what does it take to make sure you and your oversight teams are in that top third?”
In this post, we explored the most pressing issues for everyone in clinical trial oversight to grapple with. Do you agree with where we landed?
2. 5 NEW WAYS CLINICAL TRIAL OVERSIGHT PRACTICES CAN RISE TO TODAY’S CHALLENGES
“Today’s turbulent environment has precipitated an unprecedented level of pressure on sponsors, CROs, and the ecosystem of oversight committees needed to create and conduct a clinical trial. The accelerated rate of change means that if these key stakeholders aren’t effectively engaging key issues of strategy and risk, they are competitively handicapped at best and, at worst, in risk of crises. We look at some of the old processes that are being challenged -- and how Cloud Concinnity can facilitate critical transformation.”
Here, we focus on the best practices and tactics that can make a huge difference in how effective processes can be. It’s a perfect list to check if your oversight teams are doing everything they can.
3. HOW INNOVATION MUST ADDRESS THE ONGOING IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON CLINICAL TRIAL OVERSIGHT
“It is clear that innovation driven by digital transformation will drive the future of clinical trial oversight. Not only will the coming years be challenging to navigate, they will also push all of us to work together to create a truly innovative clinical trial oversight ecosystem.”
Finally, we look at the biggest issue of the year – COVID-19 – and how it has impacted the industry. Whether long-term or short-term, COVID has changed how we do almost everything.
In the year ahead, we know that changes and challenges to the industry will continue to demand innovation. We are committed to powering the smart, digital future of clinical trial oversight.
