Across the industry, pharma companies are turning to AI and real-world data to address many of the challenges of running clinical trials. But what does it take to implement these innovations?
Can the combined potential of new AI technologies and real-world patient data hold the key to overcoming the challenges in clinical trial design that have historically led to trial failure?
Join us on Thursday 24th February at 2:00 pm GMT / 3:00 pm CET / 9 am EST as experts discuss the application of synthetic control arms (SCAs), a new way of approaching clinical trials that uses real-world data to reduce the number of trial participants, eliminate delays, and lower costs.
This webinar will also explore: (two or three bullet points)
- Designing and generating a synthetic control arm
- Evaluating and selecting data sources
- Challenges of using real-world data and how to overcome them
Attendees will learn more about how an SCA was used at the design and execution phases in a recent study of new treatments for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) and will also receive an eBook ‘How to harness the potential of AI and real-world data for clinical research’.
About the panel
David Clifton is professor of clinical machine learning in the Department of Engineering Science of the University of Oxford. He is also a research fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. His research focuses on the development of big data machine learning for tracking the health of complex systems. His previous research resulted in patented systems for jet engine health monitoring, used with the engines of the Airbus A380, the Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” and the Eurofighter Typhoon. Since 2008, he has translated his work into the biomedical context for healthcare applications. He has worked on Visensia, the world’s first FDA-approved multivariate patient monitoring system, and the SEND system, which is now used to monitor 20,000 patients each month in the NHS. His research has been commercialised via Sensyne Health, Biobeats, OBS Medical, Oxehealth and Medyc, in addition to collaboration with multinational industrial bodies.
