Ep 152Disrupting The Traditional Clinical Trial Model
Recorded on 02/06/23 The landscape for clinical research is evolving, with many sponsors looking to leverage technology to address inefficiencies in the traditional site-based clinical trial process and counter the rising cost of developing new therapies. The FDA has been looked favorably on technology-enabled and decentralized clinical trial models even prior to COVID, but the pandemic led to broader adoption of these technologies and models, clearing the way for technology companies to continue disrupting the industry at greater scale. In our view, technology holds the potential to address some longstanding issues in research, including a lack of accessibility and diversity, and may pave the way to a convergence of clinical care and research. To explore this topic and more, we are joined by David Fishbach, Founder & Principal of Excel Executive Business Advisors, which provides corporate Strategy, operations, and leadership development for technology, life sciences, and healthcare.

Ep 112Solving The Lack of Diversity In Clinical Trials With Acclinate’s Del Smith
Recorded on 07/22/22 In this episode, Charles Rhyee, Cowen’s Health Care Technology Analyst speaks with Del Smith, co-founder and CEO of Acclinate, on clinical research trials for pharmaceuticals. Acclinate's mission is to educate and engage diverse individuals to be able to make informed decisions about genomic research and clinical trial participationIn particular, we focus on the lack of diversity in those trials. According to the CDC, only about 5% of Americans participate in clinical research trials, despite nearly one-half of Americans suffering from a chronic condition and about 10% of adults who have been diagnosed with cancer. Further, of that 5%, 76% are white, only 7% are black, 11% Asian, and only 13% identify as Hispanic. In other words, not only do very few people get to participate in clinical trials today, but minorities are woefully underrepresented. But that is beginning to change, and new companies are emerging to help drug makers improve access and diversity to clinical research that is potentially lifesaving.
