In this Article, learn about the key challenges of clinical data management face and see what the future holds for CDMS System
one of the biggest challenges clinical data management faces is the sheer amount of data that needs to be processed. With more and more patient data becoming available, it can be difficult for CDM systems to keep up. In addition, many CDM systems are not user-friendly or interactive, making it difficult for users to get the most out of them. What challenges do clinical data management systems currently face? Clinical Trial Complexity The modern clinical trial design requires real-time data modelling and simulation to provide reliable information that supports faster decision-making and reduces development time, costs, and late-stage research failures. Nowadays, man…

A survey of European and US pharma companies’ initial experiences of the EMA’s centralised clinical trials information system (CTIS) has revealed high levels of adoption and widespread recognition of the benefits, according to Arriello’s Kieran O’Donnell and Nicola Kidman.
In the late summer, Arriello commissioned a comprehensive survey of European and US pharma companies’ initial experiences of the EMA’s new centralised clinical trials information system (CTIS). The new platform and portal are designed to streamline the submission, assessment and approval of trials across EU markets, under the new Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR)[1], applicable since the end of January 2022 and mandatory for all new trials from January 31, 2023. Expectations for the new system have been high - if tentative…
The benefits of digitalisation for clinical trials have become evident during the pandemic, not least for patients. But there are obstacles to overcome, as Dr Rajesh Jain of PharmaLex explains.
Among the myriad transformations forced by COVID-19, decentralised clinical trials may have changed approaches to clinical research for good, bringing a patient-centric approach, reduced costs and faster results. None of this would be possible without digitalisation. While decentralised clinical trials (DCTs), or virtual trials, have been conducted for more than a decade, the pandemic was the catalyst for industry-wide uptake and many sponsors and clinical research organisations (CROs) have chosen to continue with – or adopt – the DCT model. DCTs do bring challenges:  investment is required in techn…
Medicines are becoming ever more complex in response to growth in personalised treatments and the development of a wide range of therapeutics to address less common conditions or rare diseases
by Kelly Doering, Sr Director, Industry Marketing, Pharma, AspenTech Medicines are becoming ever more complex in response to growth in personalised treatments and the development of a wide range of therapeutics to address less common conditions or rare diseases. Examples of the latter include small molecules linked to large, perhaps conjugated to a chemotoxic agent for targeted cancer treatment; peptides linked to peptides; oligos linked to molecules that allow for better cell permeability; and lipid-encapsulated molecules that prevent degradation. But it is the market for more personalised medication…

Recently, Shionogi Company of Japan reported a non-covalent, non-peptidic, orally bioavailable 3CL protease inhibitor as a clinical candidate for the treatment of COVID-19.
The pathogen causing New Coronavirus pneumonia is a beta genus coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, which is an RNA virus. After entering cells through the human ACE2 receptor, SARS-CoV-2 translates and expresses the polyprotein pp1a/pp1ab, which is then hydrolyzed by Mpro or 3CLpro or nsp5 to release various nonstructural proteins that are important for virus replication, thus inhibiting the activity of 3CL protease and blocking virus replication.   In order to obtain non-covalent 3CL protease inhibitors as clinical candidates quickly, Shionogi performed docking-based virtual screening and biological screening of its in-…
