10th Annual SCOPE Summit was held on 18 – 21 February in Orlando, Florida.
If you have missed it for any reason, we are here to fill you in!
Usually, all the insights we gather through an event are of two kinds: current industry problems and upcoming trends. This time we begin with Problems.
Main problems raised:
Study speed (study start-up, site selection, patients enrollment, etc.)
Study cost
Data Bulk
Visibility/transparency and predictiveness/forecast (metrics, KPIs, dashboards)
Multiple systems used for one study lead to lack of transparency
Delayed actions/responses
Unified vs. Integrated (the systems should be integrable)
Design study the sponsors/CROs wants to do, not the way technology imposes
Main problems of payment process raised:
General:
For sites:
For sponsor:
Data quality Payment frequency Negotiating Invoice generation speed
Payment Accuracy (overpayment) Global financial visibility & control Predictability Processing and adjunction Support burden
And continue with Trends:
Main trends discussed:
Virtual (Remote/Decentralized) Clinical Trials
Focus on outcomes, not inputs
Predictive analytics in Clinical Trials
Metrics (ICH E6 R2 requires use of metrics by sites and sponsors)
More use of outsourcing models
Partnership/Collaboration – treat providers as partners
Without executive support and sponsorship changes aren’t possible
Several presentations were dedicated to Remote/Virtual Clinical Trials theme. The main benefits of virtual trials are:
Decrease in the number of investigator sites
Decrease in price of procedures and site staff
Decrease of start-up fees
Increase of software and device use
Remote Clinical Trials is trending, as it allows to cut the costs of trials.
