Summary
External Control Arms are a powerful clinical research tool, harnessing cutting-edge tech to fill gaps in clinical data and accelerate trials when patients’ lives are on the line. They’re particularly valuable for cancer research, where patients can neither afford to wait nor settle for the current standard of care. Friends of Cancer Research President and CEO Jeff Allen sits down with Medidata CEO Anthony Costello and Senior Vice President, Statistics and Regulatory Science Innovation Ruthie Davi to celebrate 30 years of oncology innovation, and explore what’s coming next. They dig deep into Medidata and Friends’ partnership to bring the power of External Control Arms to pancreatic cancer research, and how to build a future where clinical research takes full advantage of these life-saving innovations.
