Four Pillars Driving Sanofi's Clinical Data Strategy

By Patrick Nadolny, Global Head, Clinical Data Management, Sanofi

We need to streamline our complex data journey. While Clintrial 3.3 may be remembered as cumbersome by today’s standards, 25 years ago it was ubiquitous and a great example of a one-stop-shop data management tool. This is what we are looking for in the future: one ecosystem to handle everything. Connecting data across the drug development continuum is vital if we are to transform clinical data management.

We are at a major inflection point in the transformation of clinical research, with visionaries taking the lead, and early followers starting to join the movement. Data management will undergo major changes over the next decade, with some being fueled by COVID-19 or changes in regulations. The industry must not sit still. To move successfully from data management to data science, we need to focus on people, partners, processes, and technology. To manage change effectively, you need to partner with the right people.
