From enabling patient choice during clinical trials to strengthening vital partnerships across the quality ecosystem, connected data will become the lifeblood that enables Life Science teams to collaborate efficiently and effectively in 2023.   Veeva’s industry experts share their predictions about how breaking down silos across clinical, regulatory, safety, and quality teams will benefit patients.

Data Will Unlock Clinical and Economic Value in Europe’s Challenging Landscape

Launching a new drug has always been fraught with risks, and the pandemic raised the stakes. Emerging and mid-sized companies launching products in Europe are also navigating a healthcare ecosystem that is complex and fragile due to regulatory and cost pressures. With no margin for error, teams will need to rethink their data strategy to quickly unlock clinical and economic value.  

Chris Moore, President, of Veeva Europe, predicts that “in 2023, successful companies will be more deliberate in how they access, manage, and learn from data ahead of a product launch. In R&D, data ownership will be critical to understanding the market landscape as fast as possible. Sponsors will insource data management even as they outsource trials, so they can improve how they track and use trial execution data. On the commercial side, teams will seamlessly integrate proprietary, external, and public data sources to identify the potential patient population for a new treatment.”   “Clinical, commercial, and market access teams will start working together sooner to share insights and accelerate the launch process. With an early view of market viability, leading companies will be able to monetise new products quickly and at scale across Europe.”

Simplicity and Technology Intersect to Streamline Drug Development

Jim Reilly, Vice President, of Development Cloud Strategy, believes that “the intersection of operational simplification and technology advancement will create cross-functional efficiency across clinical, regulatory, quality, and safety. This will enable biopharma to create a more streamlined drug development process rooted in lean process execution and higher-quality data.” 

“Connected data across the development lifecycle will enable different functions to coordinate decisions, and a common technology framework will eliminate duplicate data capture and inefficient processes. Automated workflows, data reuse, common training, and a simpler technology experience will help companies to adapt quickly to changing market conditions and deliver products more efficiently to the market.”  

“By connecting disparate teams, processes, and systems into one operating model, organisations will deliver new products to patients with greater speed and efficiency.” 

Patient Choice Will Push Sponsors Toward Operational Excellence

Umbrella, adaptive, and platform trials are now mainstream ways to show treatment success, but they’ve made protocol design increasingly complex. And even with technology to facilitate data collection from diverse sources, companies still struggle to manage non-conventional data at scale.
