Bridging Expertise: How Sponsor-CRO Collaboration is Shaping the Future of Clinical Trials | Cloud Concinnity®

Ever wonder what fuels the success of a clinical trial? It boils down to collaboration—bringing together diverse teams of sponsors and Contract Research Organizations (CROs), often spanning multiple geographies. Sponsors take the lead by setting the course, securing funding, and ensuring that every regulatory requirement is met. They are responsible for designing the trial protocol, selecting sites, and making critical decisions to keep the trial on track.

5 Key Clinical Trial Trends to Watch in 2023 | Cloud Concinnity®

For starters, much of the technology needed for personalized medicine is still nascent compared to other areas of healthcare delivery. The big data analytics required to reliably interpret patient DNA or genomics data is not yet readily available at all sites conducting research. In addition, sites that have access to this type of technology require highly specialized personnel – including genetic counselors, bioinformaticians, and biostatisticians– who are in high demand across many industries.

5 Tips CROs Can Use To Attract More Clinical Trial Managers | Cloud Concinnity®

The Cloud Concinnity platform was built to meet the specific needs of clinical trial managers, CROs, and DSMBs. Our cloud-based system provides trial stakeholders with a centralized platform for patient information, communications, processes, and reporting onto a single, secure hub to improve their quality of life.

7 Ways Data Safety and Monitoring Boards Can Improve Data Protection

Improving data protection begins with creating a comprehensive data protection policy.

The policy can be as detailed or straightforward as your organization deems necessary. It should include:

  • A description of the measures taken to protect data.
  • An outline of the responsibilities of each party involved in the data collection process.
  • A list of the types of data that need to be protected.
  • Procedures for monitoring and responding to any potential security breaches.

Streamlining Sponsor-CRO Collaborations in Clinical Trial | Cloud Concinnity®

Traditionally CROs have offered full-service outsourcing (FSO) models to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to support clinical trial operations. However, a significant shift toward functional service provider (FSP) models has been gaining traction. This shift is not just a trend; it’s becoming the new norm. The top 10 pharmaceutical companies have adopted FSP models, and nearly half of the companies ranked 11th to 20th are using a combination of FSP and FSO models.

Clinical trial sponsors and clinical research organizations (CROs) manage dozens of ongoing clinical studies simultaneously throughout the year.

The Concinnity Company Unveils the Latest Version of Cloud Concinnity: Award-Winning eClinical Trial Management Software

Cloud Concininty’s 3.3.0 release further enhances our meeting scheduling functionality. It is designed specifically for scheduling meetings among sponsors, committee members and other required parties. Selection of available times are now even easier to select from calendar views. And we’ve solved a time zone issue for teams with users in several different time zones.

Virtual Meeting Best Practices | Cloud Concinnity®
  • Try flipping the script on board meetings. Spend just 20% of the time presenting information, and 80% on discussion.
  • Choose a facilitator to keep everyone moving through the agenda and keep momentum going as needed.
  • Set an agenda and clearly define the objective of the meeting. Share it beforehand.
  • Keep meetings short and sweet. If there are multiple topics to discuss, consider breaking one meeting into short, smaller meetings with specific outcomes goals.
Virtual Meeting Etiquette | Cloud Concinnity®
  • Depending on the formality of your role, consider investing in a good camera. This could likely be an upgrade from what comes with your laptop.
  • Develop work attire rules with your working group. Agree on what level of casual is appropriate, and reserve the right to not show yourself if you can't meet the agreed upon standard.
  • Elevate your laptop/camera so people aren't looking up your nose.
  • Mute yourself when you’re not speaking, but get agile at unmuting yourself.
Preparing for Virtual Meetings
  • Use Great Software: Make sure your team has a fulsome cloud based, secure platform to share information in advance of meetings. Demo Cloud Concinnity® to see why it beats everything else hands down.
  • Create a dedicated space in your home for virtual meetings. Tailor that space to be a clean, simple background for your screen.
  • Depending on your company’s policies, consider installing a video conference add-on to your calendar to seamlessly schedule, join, and manage meetings.
Leadership Self-Care | Cloud Concinnity®
  • Create time for exercise. Staying mentally sharp is directly related to movement.
  • Eat healthy food. What we put in our bodies has a direct affect on how alert and aware we are.
  • Get enough sleep. The sleep we get sets the stage and the tone for everything we do.
  • Charge your devices overnight. Don’t be fumbling for the cord during a meeting or have your computer cut out mid-thought.
5 Things Boards of Disruptive Companies Need to Watch | Cloud Concinnity®

Anyone watching Silicon Valley companies lately knows that every disruptive breakthrough that redefines a market can turn around and disrupt their own growth if no one is paying attention.
Uber’s absentee board for much of Kalanick’s tenure is one example. The litany of privacy concerns and questions now plaguing Facebook is another.
Indeed, the things that make tech entrepreneurs great at disrupting industries can also plant legal landmines if no one on the inside is watching their back.

Top 5 Priorities for Boards Steering Disruptive Companies | Cloud Concinnity®

It’s the board’s responsibility to make sure that the glad-handing and bluster that plays well with the camera is backed up by legally sound paperwork and best practices. Founders aren’t supposed to know all of that stuff – the board is. And it’s the board’s responsibility to speak up, not get swept up. Uber could have saved itself a lot of bad press and a year of backsliding if they had taken action early on Kalanick, or even seen it coming and stepped in long before it became an issue in the media.

NFL and Women Voters League: A Story of Concinnity | Cloud Concinnity®

Not long ago I heard a story at a board colleague’s retirement dinner that made me smile

At the retirement dinner in late 1984 the staffs of both the National League of Women Voters and the National Football League were busy going about their respective businesses. Unbeknownst to them, their worlds were about to collide.

The 10 Most Common Corporate Governance Mistakes | Cloud Concinnity®

EFFECTIVE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IS A HALLMARK OF ANY HIGH-PERFORMING BOARD AND EXECUTIVE TEAM.
We believe that governance and leadership are the most important ingredients for high-performing organizations, and of course governance is half the battle, although often overlooked.

Leadership Lessons from NFL & Women Voters | Cloud Concinnity®

The League was hard at work getting agreement between the campaign staffs of Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan on the particulars of the fall presidential debates, something which, I understand, is about as easy as negotiating a major trade agreement. At long last the dates were settled and the staff went about the process of notifying the media. Almost immediately the president of the League of Women Voters received a phone call from a senior executive with ABC television.

Top 10 Corporate Governance Mistakes Boards Should Avoid | Cloud Concinnity®

Below are the ten most common corporate governance mistakes we typically see:

  • Failure to clarify roles and responsibilities between the CEO/C-suite and the board.
  • Failure to get the right people around the boardroom table, fully engaged, and doing the right things.
  • Failure to develop consensus in detail about where you are, where you are going, and how you will get there.
  • Failure to tend carefully to the interests of multiple, diverse stakeholders.
