Innovating Clinical Trials: Operational Innovation

The Scientist’s LabTalk

Aug 31 2022 • 20 mins

Welcome to Innovating Clinical Trials, a special edition podcast series produced by The Scientist’s Creative Services Team. This series is brought to you by Amgen, a pioneer in the science of using living cells to make biologic medicines. They helped invent the processes and tools that built the global biotech industry, and have since reached millions of patients suffering from serious illnesses around the world with their medicines.

Clinical trials are desperate for innovation. Speed and efficiency need to improve as many patients cannot wait over a decade for new, potentially lifesaving medicines, and trial participants often do not reflect the patient population. Because clinical trials are complex and multidisciplinary, there is not a single, simple solution for accelerating progress. In this series, Rob Lenz, senior vice president of Global Development at Amgen, explores the latest approaches in clinical trial design and execution and highlights real-world examples of how scientists can run trials better and faster to develop optimal medicines that benefit patients.

Our understanding of human biology and disease is progressing at an unprecedented pace, and clinical trial development and execution needs to evolve just as quickly to deliver potentially lifesaving medicines to patients who can't wait. We also need to recruit underrepresented patients into trials, which requires us to think differently about how we identify and recruit patients.

In this episode, we talk to Cynthia Verst, president of Design and Delivery Innovation for Research & Development Solutions at IQVIA, a global provider of advanced analytics, technology solutions, and clinical research services. We discuss the drivers for applying innovation in the trial execution space and how the clinical trials model is evolving across the industry thanks to modern innovations.

To dive further into this topic, please join Amgen scientists at the Innovating Clinical Trials Q&A webinar discussion on September 28, 2022. Register for the event here.
