In this episode of the Scope of Things, host Deborah Borfitz shares the latest news on a drug repurposing AI model now being tested in rare disease clinical trials, a new way forward for triple-negative breast cancer, Jill Pellegrino’s transition from CVS to AutoCruitment, incorporating placental pathology into perspective clinical trials, making ethical oversight of clinical trials more “fit-for-purpose,” and publication bias with industry sponsored studies for psychiatric drugs. We also have Allison Proffitt, editorial director of Clinical Research News, interviewing speakers at SCOPE Europe 2024 on how AI is being used for clinical trials, their pick for the 2024 rising star in the clinical research ecosystem, and the most hotly-debated topics in trial planning and execution.
