Unblinded: A Clinical Trial Podcast

Host: Richard Young, VP, Strategy, Veeva Vault CDMS 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.

Host: Richard Young, VP, Strategy, Veeva Vault CDMS Guest: Natalie Townsend, VP, Strategy, Veeva RTSM This week, Richard Young speaks to Natalie Townsend, the global lead for Randomization and Trial Supply Management (RTSM) strategy at Veeva. They discuss the evolution of ‘digital’ clinical trials from the early days of phone-based and spreadsheet-centered activities to the role technology is playing today. Will data management clash, combine, or sit comfortably with the world of site supplies and randomization? And how can technology help with challenges faced by both sides?

Host: Richard Young, Vice President, Vault CDMS Strategy, Veeva Guest: Trevor Griffiths, Senior Director, Clinical Data Management, Syneos Health Description: Host Richard Young speaks to Trevor Griffiths, senior director for clinical data management at Syneos Health. Data management is becoming much more complex for CROs, as trials become larger and data sources more diverse. Yet Syneos was still able to eliminate 3,000 hours of manual review in a single trial through machine learning. As the industry moves to a single view of all clinical study data, will we get clean data ready faster? What does this mean for the role of the data manager? *Veeva CDB refers to Veeva’s clinical data platform for complete and concurrent data (available late 2022).

Host: Richard Young, Vice President, Vault CDMS Strategy, Veeva Systems Guest: Tanya du Plessis (Chief Data Strategist and Solutions Officer, Bioforum the Data Masters) Description: Host Richard Young speaks to Tanya du Plessis, chief data strategist and solutions officer at Bioforum the Data Masters, a data-focused CRO. The old days of linear trial processes and pushing paper are thankfully over, presenting exciting opportunities in clinical data management. In fact, data managers are moving from behind the scenes to center stage as regulations change. So what do data managers need in their toolkit if they are to be effective? And are we closer to making patient-centric trials a reality?

After more than two years apart, European life sciences came together in Zurich in June. There are big advances underway that will make clinical research faster, better connected, and more patient-centric. But there’s also frustration at the silo-driven approach. @Richard Young recaps what’s on the minds of life sciences leaders with Chris Moore, President, Veeva Europe.
