PharmaVoice 100s: Clinical trial gurus

The clinical trial arena has been hit by sweeping changes in the last few years.

During the pandemic, the acceleration of tech-enabled approaches such as decentralized clinical trials helped create a new paradigm for how patients could participate in research. The push for real-world data and more insights on patient outcomes has also helped give rise of new tech capabilities including wearable devices for remote monitoring, user-friendly apps to boost engagement and integrated platforms that make patients and trial operators more connected that ever before.

At the same time, persistent challenges hover over the space, such as the need to remove DEI barriers that hinder trial participation.

The clinical trial gurus included in this year’s PharmaVoice 100 are meeting this moment head on while helping their companies and the industry adopt the cutting edge technologies and strategies that will lead to more efficient, more diverse and better-informed drug research.
