Spain Biotech: An Engine for Economic Change
 Discover how Spain is focusing on biotechnology to be an engine for economic change through gradual internationalization, development and technology transfer.
Regional governments are actively investing in public and private biology research and promoting the creation of knowledge-based companies. Spain’s human capital combined with aggressive investment in biotech research and infrastructure has led to the creation of bio-clusters.
Today, there are nearly 700 Spanish companies engaged in biotechnology, with almost 50 percent growth in funding devoted to research. In fact, spending on internal R & D in biotechnology has grown 46 percent and is close to 300 million Euros.

“What Will Drive Tomorrow’s Health Business Innovation: Technology, Standards or New Business Models?”
 This podcast will discuss the current state of health business innovation, particularly around providing solutions for clinical trials and drug development. Executives from Medidata and SAS will address the following questions:
- Does the health industry need more technology to drive business innovation?
- How does the current state of industry standards impact the ability of technology to drive business innovation?
- Is the lack of integration, inability to enter clean data or data privacy issues posing barriers to fully exploiting today’s technology?
- Are standards and technology adoption hindered by misaligned business models?
Speakers: Glen de Vries, President of Medidata Solutions, and Jason Burke, Global Director of Health and Life Sciences Market Segments, SAS.

Rising Clinical Trial Delays and Costs - Addressing the Cause, Not the Symptoms
 Protocol complexity is taking a toll on clinical study speed and efficiency: increasingly complicated and ambitious protocols are not only burdening sites and study volunteers but are also prolonging trials and increasing expenses. In response, sponsors have turned to global study placement, restructured site relationships and new site management practices, but the problem remains.
This podcast will discuss:
- Why these responses address only the symptoms, not the underlying cause, of rising clinical trial delays and costs.
- Results of a recent joint Tufts University / Medidata Solutions study.
- New metrics benchmarking protocol design trends.
- Systematic protocol design improvements and why they are essential to clinical trial performance excellence.
Speakers: Ken Getz, Senior Research Fellow at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, and Ed Seguine, General Manager, Trial Planning Solutions at Medidata.

The Role of Analytics in Transforming Healthcare Sharing many of the data challenges and opportunities faced by Healthcare, the Life Sciences industry remains focused on delivering new, innovative therapies and solutions to patients in a cost effective, timely and safe way. With spiraling R&D costs, new methods such as adaptive trials, and never ending need for deep pharmacovigilance, the Life Sciences companies that effectively use analytics to explore, monitor and optimize their business will rapidly become the new leaders. Oracle’s strategy—built upon Enterprise Health Analytics and Health Data Warehouse Foundation—provides a powerful, practical, and extensible approach to delivering the IT analytics infrastructure required to confront the worldwide healthcare challenge.
BPM-Based Case Management Approach to Optimizing Clinical Trial Efficiency Business Process Management (BPM) software offers liberation in the planning and management of clinical trials today. SmartBPM provides the components for automating critical clinical trial processes ranging from protocol development and patient enrollment to site management and investigator payments. Advantages are: - Potentially stunning return on investment at multiple levels.
- A 500%, or better, increase in application development time by directly executing business requirements
- Improved customer retention
- A 50% possible reduction in training time
Discovered is opportunity to enhance relationships with investigators, subjects, and regulators while bringing momentum to a technology-impaired study startup phase. Learn more about SmartBPM in this complimentary white paper.
Next-gen Cloud-based eClinical New technologies are available to leverage Cloud Computing in managing clinical trial data. This paper discusses a next generation eClinical
platform that: - Speeds trial set up
- Accommodates changes with zero downtime
- Integrates effectively with other clinical trial technology systems
It is offered with either software-as-a-service (SaaS), or turnkey infrastructure options in which the user organization operates their own cloud using their IT teams, within their data centers. Read this paper to learn and decide how best to leverage cloud computing’s many strengths for your organization’s particular needs.

Evaluating a Risk-based Approach to Good Clinical Practice
.gif?n=6512 "medidata5_podcast") The verification of source documents by study monitors at investigational sites is considered a good clinical practice by regulatory authorities overseeing clinical research, and is extremely important to ensuring data quality in clinical trials. Today’s challenging environment is prompting study teams to explore the use of risk-based approaches to monitoring that do not compromise data quality, but allow limited resources to be directed more effectively to where they’re most needed and to the most critical review activities.
In this podcast, industry experts and executives from Medidata will address questions such as:
- Why are regulatory agencies and industry open to evaluating the new approaches in site monitoring and source document verification (SDV), and what attitudes and reactions towards less than 100% SDV?
- What factors do research sponsors need to consider in adopting risk-based site monitoring?
