The UpSMART Accelerator: driving digital innovation to change the conduct of early phase cancer medicine trials

Le résumé fourni par la source

Digitalizing clinical trials provide an opportunity to address challenges faced in the Phase I trial settings, where near real-time data capture and data interpretation are prerequisites for iterative decision-making to rapidly adapt trial designs based on emerging insights. Although digital technologies have driven significant improvements in many businesses and organizations, the adoption of digital technologies in clinical trials has been slow. In recognition of this lag, the UpSMART consortium, a 5-year funded program (2020-2024), has been established in Europe between the UK, Spain, and Italy to embrace digital technologies and drive benefits to patients. The consortium, led by the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute Cancer Biomarker Centre, aims to ’digitalize’ Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres in the UK and Early Drug Development Units in Spain and Italy by open-sourcing and sharing digital healthcare products between participating centers across the consortium. The goal is to optimize data capture and interpretation thus accelerating Phase I clinical research to ultimately benefit patients by allowing faster access to tomorrow’s medicines.
