Advancing Clinical and Translational Science through the Decentralization of Clinical Trials
Christopher M. Hartshorn, PhD, Chief, Digital & Mobile Technologies Section - CTSA Program, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), National Institutes of Health
An evolving trend in clinical and translational science has been their CT decentralization. The benefits are clear, the ability to decrease burden(s) to trial participants, improve recruitment and retention to enable interventions to succeed or fail faster without early termination, and offer more robust, rigorous medical evidence from broader demographics and diverse participants. This talk will discuss challenges and benefits in terms of existing NIH-funded efforts to advance.
The Business Case for Individual Engagement, Learnings across Industries
Luca Foschini, PhD, President & CEO, Sage Bionetworks
For online, direct-to-consumer services, user engagement is measured by frequency, timespan, and quality of interactions with an application which is often directly related to monetization, thus business metrics. In contrast, in healthcare and life science, purchase decisions are usually not made by the end user, so their engagement does not immediately relate to business KPIs. Is there still a business case for increasing individual engagement in the health industry?

Computational Pathology: The Next Revolution in Cancer Diagnosis
J. Carl Barrett, PhD, Vice President of Translational Science, Oncology, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals
The first companion diagnostic for oncology precision medicine was HER2 over 20 years ago using IHC and FISH. IHC is semiquantitative and poor at measuring spatial heterogeneity in tumors. We have developed a deep learning computational pathology method that scores HER2 and other IHC markers at low expression levels, quantitates expression of each cancer cell, and allows scoring of spatial heterogeneity of positive and negative cells. Application of this method called Quantitative Continuous Scoring of IHC better predicts response to ADCs.
