Accelerating cures

Patient recruitment drives success in clinical trial execution — but is increasingly difficult. To overcome this challenge and achieve wins, clinical trial sponsors must inspire study teams to beat clinical trial patient-recruitment timeline targets. This Viewpoint provides insights, case studies, and data outcomes of clinical trials that achieved accelerated patient recruitment and shows how this was accomplished.

Why patient centricity is key to long-term pharma company success

Patient centricity seems to be an obvious focus for pharmaceutical companies. After all, their core business is to develop drugs and treatments to meet specific patient needs. Yet, patient centricity is not evident across the end-to-end pharma value chain, from identifying unmet patient needs through drug discovery and development to product availability and treatment. For example, on average, 30% of patients leave clinical trials before their scheduled treatment completion date, often because of the high burden of the trials on their lives.

The future of pharmacovigilance

Ben Enejo

While assessing the safety and efficacy of medicines is the bedrock in drug research, vaccine development during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the changes in the types of medicines developed today and the stakeholder management required for successful adoption. Enabled by new treatment paradigms, digital transformation, advanced technology applications, data availability, and the patient-centric focus, the changing ecosystem requires new capabilities in assessing the safety of medicines and managing the new entities at play.

CAR-T on site: Forgoing the extra mile

Emmanuel Aisabokhae, Ben Enejo

CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell) therapy involves the use of genetically re-engineered versions of a patient’s own T-cells to find cancer cells and defeat them. As of March 2020, there are two CAR-T therapies licensed for use – Kymriah® and Yescarta®. CAR-T has pushed the boundaries of medicine, and the success observed in patient treatment has created interest in the use of CAR-T to treat a number of other types of tumors. This is evidenced by the number of clinical trials involving the use of CAR-T to treat a range of cancers (Figures below).

Managing clinical trials during COVID-19 and beyond

Ben van der Schaaf, Ben Enejo, Craig Wylie, Tom Teixeira, Rick Eagar

One of the many consequences of the COVID-19 crisis has been difficulty in continuing to enroll and run clinical trials, which typically involve large numbers of people interacting in multiple geographies. Arthur D. Little (ADL) has pioneered and deployed a new, risk-based predictive analytical approach, powered by machine-learning technology. It enables pharma companies to make much better predictions and forecasts to support decision-making around key issues, such as adapting patient targets to favor less affected and recovering geographies, program extensions, and new trials.
