AI is redefining how clinical trials are designed and executed. A major obstacle to complete transformation is tapping into the data that offers novel, well-governed insights. Drawing on the industry’s largest trial operations dataset: schedules of assessment, amendment drivers, trial benchmarks, and site performance trends, Advarra offers a unique, ethically grounded data foundation. Building on this vantage point, the session will share a vision for how AI can transform the drug development lifecycle from end to end, along with real-world applications already shaping the future of trials.
