Abstract:

India is once again aspiring to assume leadership in clinical research by trying to adopt a more patient centric regulatory framework in clinical trial sector in the country. We are going to witness if and how a country succeeds in garnering the limelight as a research hub, renew its ability to seize growth opportunities, develop capabilities to meet every challenge with a strategy and every opportunity with a plan. To make this dream even more difficult to achieve, if not impossible, the complexity associated with drug development has increased dramatically. The drug development science, regulatory, and economic landscape is fraught with uncertainty and risk. Science has become more complex, so it is the demands on sponsors to safeguard the well-being of clinical trial participants and the need to maintain the highest levels of data integrity. Other factors include the skyrocketing quantities of clinical data that must be managed and the necessity to plan for long-term trial follow up. In this session, let?s make an attempt to decode a winning formula for sustained and superior industry performance. There is a gamut of affordable and advanced technologies to tackle the 3 main challenges that this industry is facing - cost, data quality and patient safety. Technology already plays a central role in the conduct of clinical trials but industry today needs a new eClinical footprint to improve project oversight, make smarter trial decisions and gain efficiencies across clinical operations, while supporting patient safety, data integrity and compliance
