State of Digital Clinical Trials Podcast

In this week’s episode, Richard Young speaks to Vivienne van de Walle, medical director and founder of PT&R (an independent research site in the Netherlands), and Bree Burks, who joined @Veeva from a clinical research background where she supported nearly 1,000 trials across different roles. Sites have been voicing their concerns for years about how the industry runs clinical studies.

In this episode, Vivienne and Bree explain the tangible ways that sites (and patients) are hurt by inconsistent technology and the steps to make it better.

Guest: Mayank Anand, VP and Global Head of Data Strategy and Management, GSK

In this week’s conversation, Richard Young and Mayank Anand, global head of data strategy and management at GSK and Chair of SCDM, discuss how clinical data professionals’ roles are evolving in a world of decentralized data. It’s a great time to be a clinical data professional, they agree, as a once invisible role moves front and center to optimize trial protocols, operations, and results, and speed patient access to better treatments. SCDM offers professionals a global voice and a forum for discussion and debate, and Mayank summarizes the organization’s key goals. Both Richard and Mayank share insights into understanding end user and patient needs; balancing the needs of different stakeholders; and solving a Rubik’s cube of challenges that involve people, processes, and technology. Mayank also shows how new perspectives are driving a more inclusive strategy and collaborative mindset that is already improving patient focus and business results at GSK and within the industry.
