It also boosts compliance and efficiency, as well as reduce trial timelines using connected apps for simpler exchange of documents between sponsor teams and study centre teams.
EPAM Systems Global Business SVP and co-head Sergey Yezhkov said: “We’re pleased to partner with Microsoft Cloud services to bring the Digital Clinical Trials platform to market.
“DCT gives pharmaceutical organizations access to real-time data via secure omnichannel communication channels while simultaneously simplifying the patient and enrolment recruitment process, enabling seamless integration of patient outcomes, improving operational efficiencies, reducing study timelines, and increasing patient engagement.”
Clinical trials are a vital step to launch novel pharmaceutical theories in the market, but companies are also challenged by problems, including recruitment issues, missed targets, and participant dropouts.
As a result, the pharmaceutical industry is rapidly shifting away from ‘site-centric’ to ‘patient-centric’ clinical trials, EPAM noted.
