Future of Clinical Research
How Agentic AI is transforming life sciences discovery and operations
The numbers are in, and they spell change for life sciences.
That’s because nearly three-quarters (73%) of global pharmaceutical organizations are actively planning, piloting, or deploying agentic AI initiatives.
This widespread means agentic AI is no longer a futuristic concept, but a present-day imperative for staying competitive and delivering life-changing medicines faster.
For those not yet in the know, agentic AI is a sophisticated form of AI designed not just to analyze data, but to act autonomously, plan, reason, and execute complex, multi-step tasks. This goes far beyond traditional automation. Instead, agentic AI is about creating intelligent systems that can drive innovation, accelerate drug development, and optimize operations like never before.
So, which companies are leading the charge, and how exactly are these intelligent agents reshaping the pharma landscape? Let's dive into the specifics.
Patient perspectives: The balancing act of trial participation
When we think about clinical trials, our minds often gravitate toward the scientific intricacies of these studies - the testing of new treatments, data analysis, and the quest for medical breakthroughs. However, it's essential to remember that behind every clinical trial, there's a patient, and often a caregiver, whose life is deeply impacted by this journey.
So, let’s consider this: the concept of "Participation-Life Balance" and how technology can enhance the design and workflow of clinical trials while acknowledging the holistic needs of patients and caregivers to work towards achieving this.
Medable Petitions Comments on ICHE6(R3) Draft Guidance
When technology enters a regulated environment, early adopters often cite regulatory uncertainty as a hurdle. In fact, a 2021 Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI) survey showed that regulatory uncertainty and lack of harmonization were the top reasons that hindered adoption of elements of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs).
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the increased adoption of decentralized methodologies was guided by temporary guidances put out by many regulators such as FDA’s March 2020 “Conduct of Clinical Trials of Medical Products During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency” and the corresponding EMA guidance, which explicitly mentioned it would expire at the end of the designated Public Health Emergency.
Unlocking Patient Engagement: Enhancing the Clinical Trial Experience with Consumerization
In this panel discussion, industry experts from Uber Health, iXlayer, and Medable will discuss the rise in technology adoption has also raised the expectations of trial participants, who now seek simpler, more consumer-like experiences in clinical design.

Learn how sponsors and CROs can improve their clinical trial conduct by developing new strategies that create sustainable, repeatable, and effective clinical conduct.
The Definitive Guide to Digital Evidence Generation
According to Grandview Research, the hybrid and decentralized clinical trial (DCT) market will be worth more than 12 billion dollars by 2030. Sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, the rapid ascent of patient-centered technology and the digital and decentralized trials they’ve spawned has forever changed the landscape of clinical conduct. Sponsors are increasingly turning to DCT platforms in alignment with the rise of Life Science and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. For those who haven't made the jump yet, there are many questions, including "What is a decentralized clinical trial?" Find out with this in-depth guide to decentralized clinical trials. Uncover how they work, their benefits, and how they transform clinical development.

What does the new European Medicine Regulatory Network recommendation paper on decentralized elements in clinical trials tell us?
Learn what impacts the new European Medicine Regulatory Network recommendations paper means to your clinical trial operations.
New EU Regulatory Recommendations for Decentralized Trials Keep Focus on Patients and Sites
As clinical trials rapidly modernize, government regulators work to evolve even as the same core principles apply. Still, decentralized clinical trials are – simply – clinical trials, as all research today is decentralized in some way, yet we lack global harmonization of regulations.
Back to basics: How digital and decentralized clinical trials enable trial diversity
The advancement of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) allows patients to participate without having to travel to a trial site, removing many barriers that may have hindered people of diverse backgrounds from participating.
