This presentation addresses the critical issue of data integrity in digital health technologies and wearable sensors, focusing on mitigating data loss, inconsistencies, and poor data quality. These issues can undermine decision-making, thereby reinforcing stereotypes that "we are not there yet" in utilizing wearable sensor derived data in clinical validation. Strategies such as robust error detection, sensor wear compliance, data validation, artifact detection, and improved system integration are explored to ensure reliable, high-quality data. By partnering with external end-to-end solutions, sponsors can maximize actionable insights, improve patient outcomes, and drive a higher ROI.
Evaluating Generative AI in Regulated Environments: A Statistical Rigorous Framework for Regulatory Compliance and Safety
The need for rigorous statistical evaluation of generative AI in clinical trial settings is paramount to ensure regulatory compliance and patient safety. This talk explores a framework for assessing whether AI-generated contents, produced by large language models like GPT-4, are non-inferior to human-generated contents across key dimensions such as accuracy, clarity, consistency, and reasoning. The insights gained from this evaluation will be crucial in shaping the future integration of generative AI in regulated environments, potentially transforming how we approach clinical trials and drug development.

DIGITAL PROTOCOL: FROM DESIGN TO IMPLEMENTATION
デジタルプロトコル:デザインから実施まで
The Role of AI in Powering Digital Protocols
Protocols often live in documents, requiring sponsors to manually configure data across many systems, and leading to inaccuracies and extended timelines. Global standards groups are calling for protocols to be digitized, but how will sponsors adjust to new digital formats? In this talk, we’ll share published research on the use of AI/LLM agents to digitize protocols and how this approach can drive more efficient research for sponsors and sites.
Transforming the Clinical Trial Protocol-Moving from a Document-Centric to a Data-Centric World
Chris Decker, President & CEO, CDISC
Since the beginning, the industry has been writing and copying protocols in Word while manually transcribing protocol information to the plethora of downstream systems, which is time-consuming, error-prone, and questions quality. Over the last few years, the industry has been working on moving from a document-centric to a data-centric protocol, helping industry reduce cycle times and improve data reliability and quality for sponsors, third party providers, and regulators. This panel will bring together TransCelerate, CDISC, HL7, and ICH M11 to discuss the current state of the digital protocol and the opportunities to transform the clinical trial lifecycle.
