AI Transformation in Clinical Trials

Today’s guest is Michael Zaiac, Head of Medical Oncology for Europe and Canada at Daiichi Sankyo. Michael joins the platform in a special episode focused on how AI is driving measurable ROI in clinical trials — particularly in eligibility and driving diversity in patient populations. Their conversation explores how life sciences teams are applying advanced analytics to accelerate enrollment, improve diversity in study populations, and reduce time to trial completion. Michael also shares where generative AI is beginning to play a role in patient-facing materials, including simplified consent forms and study summaries. Throughout the episode, Michael emphasizes the importance of early stakeholder alignment, regulatory transparency, and the discipline required to deploy AI responsibly in high-risk clinical environments.
