Off-shoring: A Country Attractiveness Index for Clinical Trials

By Mark P. Mathieu
For many years, pharmaceutical companies have been off-shoring manufacturing operations to lower-cost countries. Healthy margins and strong risk aversion have afforded pharmaceutical companies the luxury of staying close to home, for all but manufacturing activities. As financial pressures increase, pharmaceutical executives are finding that going offshore is not only less risky than it once was, but also too attractive to ignore.  Read More

Site Solutions for All that Ails EDC

June 22, 2009 | In a recent issue of eCliniqua, investigative sites aired their frustrations with many of the e-clinical technologies embraced by study sponsors. They made particular note of technical deficiencies with electronic data capture (EDC) systems. But, as discussed below, they also offered some solid remedies for improving the situation.

Investigative Sites: The Trouble with e-Clinical Technologies

June 1, 2009 | Even the most progressive, tech-savvy investigative sites are aggravated by many of the e-clinical systems being embraced by study sponsors. Virtually no type of clinical trial technology escapes criticism, but EDC systems seem to be the biggest offenders.

EDC Co-Development a Win-Win for Ferring, Target Health

May 26, 2009 | Common wisdom holds that drug makers should stay out of the business of developing information technology (IT) software and instead buy off-the-shelf solutions. But that’s not necessarily the best and cheapest way to collect data or manage clinical trials.

ePRO May be Ideal Tool for Suicidality Monitoring

eCliniqua | When it comes to suicidality monitoring in clinical trials, electronic patient reported outcomes tools have distinct advantages over both face-to-face and paper-based data collection methods.

Etrials Purchase Would Make BioClinica Number Three EDC Player

May 8, 2009 | What reputable products and a succession of management teams couldn’t do for etrials Worldwide its soon to be owner most likely can boost stagnating sales and stem the red ink.

Rethinking Clinical Trials Data Integration
Sponsored by SAS

There is a gap between the need for data integration and fully integrated systems. To find out why, SAS and Pharmaceutical Executive conducted confidential telephone interviews with senior pharmaceutical executives and CROs. This article discusses recommendations on how to achieve optimal clinical data integration, based on those interviews.

Impact of the 1000 Genomes Project on the Next Wave of Pharmacogenomic Discovery
1000genomeInterview with M. Eileen Dolan, Ph.D., Professor, Medicine, University of Chicago and Speaker at Next-Generation Sequencing Data Management, September 27-29, 2010, Providence, RI  

The 1000 Genomes Project aims to provide detailed genetic variation data on >1000 genomes from worldwide populations using the next-generation sequencing technologies. Some of the samples utilized for the 1000 Genomes Project are the International Hap-Map samples that are composed of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from individuals of different world populations. The detailed map of human genetic variation promised by the 1000 Genomes project will allow a more in-depth analysis of the contribution of genetic variation to drug response. Future studies utilizing this new resource can greatly enhance our understanding of the genetic basis of drug response and other complex traits.
