Trials with Maya Z Podcast

What makes or breaks clinical trials? Dr Oren Cohen believes 2 big research projects are defining the future of trials. Dr Oren Cohen speaks about patient-centric clinical design and patient-preference diagnostics. One of the researchers on both teams is Shelby Reed, who looks at how patients make decisions about clinical trials. If we apply a patient-first design, we’ll see increased clinical trial participation. But not only that. Listen to the full conversation for more insights.

Dr Oren Cohen describes a win-win situation for everyone involved. But is the success of the unit in Leeds replicable?  While the success in Leeds is evident, with new businesses flourishing and the local economy thriving, the question of replicability in different regions, especially those in the United States without established research centers, remains open. The progress seen in Leeds, championed by advocates like Sir Roger Marsh, shows that with the right support innovation is possible.

Dr Oren Cohen is the most recent guest on my podcast. He brings more than 30 years of healthcare, research, and clinical development experience to his role, including several senior medical and operational leadership positions at a biotechnology company and another global CRO. Oren is President at Fortrea which has patient-friendly clinical research units in US and the UK. Our hot topic is the unit in Leeds. Why? It’s state of the art as Oren himself describes it. Created with patients in mind, this center is a true example in the industry. Would it resolve the patient recruitment challenge? Has Fortrea paved the way for the future of clinical trials? We discuss the secret sauce to success and much more in our latest episode. See all the topics: - What’s Dr. Oren Cohen’s Professional Experience - Why Is Fortrea’s Unit in Leeds So Special - How Critical Is the Unit’s Structure to Trials Efficiency - Can We Replicate Fortrea’s Success in Leeds Elsewhere - Lessons Learned from Building a Patient-Friendly Pharmacological Unit - The #1 Thing to Make Trials More Patient-Friendly 🎧 Listen to the episode here: https://lnkd.in/dD8uMsVd 🔔 Subscribe to Trials with Maya Z on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

New podcast episode alert! 🎙️ Maya meets Oren Cohen, who brings more than 30 years of healthcare, research, and clinical development experience to his role as a President of Fortrea. The company has clinical research units in the US and the UK, with the unit in Leeds being a state-of-the-art example of what units should be. Oren loves all his children as he calls these units, but what they did in Leeds is historical.

What’s the secret sauce to developing an EDC? At TrialHub we developed our own EDC software and so did Daniel Schwarz when he started the Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses. Here’s what he shares about launching an EDC in a very competitive market. ‘Unlike software houses, our product is inherently designed with clinical data management at its core, aligning seamlessly with our processes. This distinction has been affirmed by customer feedback.’ Listen to the full conversation for more insights on EDCs and data management. (Link in a comment)

There’s no hotter topic than AI. So, Maya and Daniel get to explore its role in EDC and #datamanagement. Daniel brings an important distinction to the table between AI and #machinelearning. He sees the latter as a valuable tool for enhancing EDC systems and data quality. Watch the video to see how the Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses benefits from machine learning algos.

Daniel Schwarz has observed that while businesses are meticulous about operations, #datamanagement often gets overlooked, especially in academia. As a spinoff from Masaryk University, he and his team at the Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses see many top scientists relying on CLADE-IS for data collection. It may sound like a no-brainer, but effective data management is crucial for adaptability and success. Prioritize it from the beginning to avoid future complications.

Maya Zlatanova provokes Daniel Schwarz to put himself in the shoes of a sponsor. She asks him to choose between working with a small EDC provider versus a big one. Daniel gives advantages to both, but he has a clear winner. Listen to the full conversation for his direct answer.

Daniel Schwarz is the most recent guest on Trials with Maya Z. With a robust background in biomedical engineering, neuroimaging, and clinical data management, Daniel focuses on leveraging advanced data management systems to support healthcare projects. Maya and Daniel talk about data management as a DNA. And there’s more to the story: - What’s the secret sauce to a modern EDC - Why companies shouldn’t underestimate data management - What are the regulatory expectations in data management - The main challenge in starting an EDC from scratch - The role of AI in EDC and data management - What can make trials more patient-friendly 🎧 Listen to the episode here: https://bit.ly/3Ry6GpR #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch  #electronicdatacapture #datamanagement
