About this session

Session chaired by Mats Sundgren
Description:
In today’s evolving clinical research landscape, patient safety and data integrity are the foundation of successful trials. As the complexity of studies increases in pharmaceutical and CRO environments, traditional data management approaches often fall short. Early engagement with protocol design and proactive risk identification are now essential to ensuring empowered and reliable trial execution. This session explores the transformative role of Risk-Based Clinical Data Management (RB-CDM) in optimizing trial design, enhancing data integrity, and prioritizing patient safety. By collaborating with protocol teams at the earliest stages, data managers can identify and mitigate risks before they escalate, setting a solid foundation for efficient and compliant trial operations.
Key takeaways include:
1. Early Engagement: Proactive involvement with protocol teams facilitates smoother trial execution. Data managers can influence protocol decisions to minimize downstream risks, enhancing operational efficiency.
2. Advanced Tools and Technologies: Discover how platforms like eCRF design, automated edit checks, and data reconciliation systems can streamline workflows and improve accuracy. Learn how tools like Power BI, SQL programming, and Veeva Workbench drive real-time decision-making and operational excellence.
3. Risk Mitigation Strategies: Gain insights into best practices for identifying data vulnerabilities, developing tailored risk management plans, and maintaining data quality through robust monitoring, query resolution, and discrepancy management.
4. Real-World Applications: Explore learnings from complex therapeutic trials, including COVID-19 vaccines, diabetes, and oncology studies. Real-world case studies will highlight how RB-CDM principles have enabled faster database locks, reduced discrepancies, and achieved regulatory compliance.
Through interactive discussions and actionable insights, this session empowers attendees to embrace innovative strategies for clinical trial success. By embedding risk-based methodologies and leveraging advanced technologies, participants will gain practical tools to design and execute trials that safeguard patient safety, uphold data quality, and meet global standards. This is a unique opportunity for clinical data managers, statisticians, and CRO professionals to collaborate, innovate, and lead the transformation of clinical research. Let’s redefine trial success with early engagement and cutting-edge RB-CDM practices.
