DPHARM 2019 RECAPDPharm: Disruptive Innovations to Advance Clinical Trials

Innnovating for PatientsDPharm had its most successful year yet, with attendee growth up 35%, sold-out exhibit rooms and more session choices from key trends to modernizing clinical

trials and preparing for the rise of the expert patient. Enjoy the recap of the 9th annual DPharm.

DPHARM 2019 kicked off, literally, with veteran Radio City Rockette, breast cancer survivor and patient advocate keynote, Alyssa Epstein, leading conference-goers in a chorus line. In her keynote speech, Alyssa described the team she assembled to help her manage the cancer treatment process. In many ways, she said, it was similar to the network she relied on as a professional dancer. “I was building my own Rockette line of healthcare professionals.” Though the patient experience can feel solitary, Ms Epstein was grateful for the people who helped her. “My ‘I’ became a ‘We.’”

Opening Keynote: Patient Advocate Presentation

Keynote: Modernizing Clinical Trials, Frameworks and PrioritiesThe 23rd FDA Commissioner, Dr Scott Gottlieb, followed up on Ms Epstein’s presentation with a summary of the current state and future of clinical trials. Dr Gottlieb spoke on the ways the FDA has attempted to modernize their approach to clinical trials under his tenure, including allowing individual investigators in cell-based medicine to pool their resources and data under a common FDA application, introducing the concept of reverse accelerated approval for medicines with high, early impact, and advocating for master protocol groups for the testing of multiple drugs.

Dr Gottlieb encouraged the industry to pre-competitively pool resources for updating clinical trial tools, instead of only relying on old stand-bys such as patient-reported outcomes or periodic doctor visits, and highlighted the potential of validating methodologies for evaluating real-world evidence of drug and device safety.

Shwen Gwee of Novartis spoke about how, for true innovation, one must stop trying to innovate. Creating something new, he says, isn’t the same as creating something better. So, to actually innovate, Gwee advises companies to think like a start-up: understand the problems people have, incorporate a diversity of voices, and treat the end product not as something static but something iterative.

Actions to Embrace and Support Innovation for the Benefit of Patients

Good, Better...Balancing Innovation with Solid Common Sense to Deliver Innovative MedicinesAfter a portfolio shift into immuno-oncology with Keytruda, Merck had to face the change by operating under the mantra, “Standardization based on quality is the platform for innovation.”

To that end, Dr Mark Travers, Merck & Co, emphasized how Merck has undergone standardization across countries and trials, moved a lot of clinical trial operations in-house for better oversight, and made a change from CRO to FSP model. By incorporating TransCelerate’s SIP and investing in a mobile app for its CRAs, Merck was able to improve clinical trial monitoring visits and widen access while reducing duplication. Travers advised that disruption comes from understanding where companies stand solidly and innovating from there.

Keynote Dr Rod MacKenzie, Executive Vice President, Chief Development Officer, Pfizer was joined in a fireside chat with TrialSpark CEO and Founder Dr Benjamine Liu, where they evaluated the state of the modern clinical trial. The two agreed that the primary bottleneck facing their development is patient recruitment, and that while clinical trials and patient recruitment still lagged behind the drug discovery innovation, the bottleneck would only worsen.

To combat that, MacKenzie and Liu addressed how, from the ground up, they were attempting to diversify and innovate clinical trials: paying attention to the small details that can preclude someone from participating in a trial (everything from the overwhelming startup admin to the barrier of paying for parking), diversifying trials by bringing in local doctors and their patients, and tackling the standardization of data across trials.

The World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies

Following his presentation, Mr Gwee was joined by Fast Company Deputy Editor David Lidsky, who puts together the magazine’s “50 Most Innovative Companies” issue every year. Lidsky highlighted two key features across industries of innovative companies: speed and the desire to understand the consumer better.

Innovation often comes in the wake of a competitor. Lidsky gave the example of Amazon: as the company became more automated, it opened a market space for competitor Target to provide a unique, in-store experience. When it came to the healthcare industry specifically, Lidsky spoke about the value of doing something impactful with collected data, and as outside industry giants, like Amazon, Apple and Google, move into the health space, it can provide the opportunity for pharmaceutical and biotech companies to form a more human connection.

DPharm Idol Disrupt 2019

At the end of Day One, six young companies competed to be crowned winner of 2019’s DPharm Idol Disrupt: TrialScout, xCures, Shimmer Research, Intelligencia, Trials.ai and Tasso. Tasso took the gold for its innovative at-home blood-sampling kits, which draws blood from capillaries rather than veins for a painless approach.

Tasso demonstrated a commitment to easing patient burden by designing a patient-centric blood sampling kit that aims to eliminate the need for site visits when collecting blood samples. Judges were very impressed with their presentation, stating that Tasso “lays one more building block in the journey towards decentralizing clinical trials by enabling the collection of blood samples in an easy and seamless manner from the patient’s home.”

The Collective Struggle to Evolve a Drug Development Organization’s Data and Analytics Culture andCapabilities

During his presentation, Zeitgeist Speaker on Big Data and AI for Drug Development, Milind Kamkolkar of Cellarity, said at its core, AI can have two functions: do things better, or do better things. Without good, usable data, good AI is useless.To avoid buying into the hype of artificial intelligence and machine learning, Kamkolkar spoke of using them as distinct tools for explicit goals. Data-driven companies are just companies that know how to leverage data and value it as much as drug delivery technologies, share prices and information assets.

Healthgrades Founder KerryHicks on Transparency and the Future of Patient Expectations

Across industries, ratings and surveys have become a pandemic that serve as a method of ranting. But within the healthcare space, consumers actually do the opposite: they are eager to share good experiences. However, with that comes added pressure: one bad rating or review could turn away potential patients. To combat that, Hicks advised that looking at the patient experience and solving for disproportionate negatives could serve to improve the overall experience, increase compliance and drive decision making.

“DPharm is truly a first class event and we are thrilled to have been a part of it.

Pfizer’s former Head of Clinical Innovation, Craig Lipset, was joined by Healthgrades founder Kerry Hicks to examine measuring and evaluating the patient experience. During his time at Healthgrades, Hicks focused on three tenets: transparency, empowerment and accountability.

Today Show @DPharmHosted by Bayer’s Michelle Shogren, this section used an interview format to shine a spotlight on key innovating companies in the clinical trials space:

Starbucks: Innovation for theEnd User Experience

Robert Mercer, Design Director of Global Digital Products at Starbucks, sat down with Joseph Kim of Eli Lilly & Co. When Mercer was a part of the team responsible for launching the mobile order and payment app, it was largely to solve the growing problems of long lines in-stores. But that digitalization opened opportunities to understand their customers better.

Despite being vastly different industries, a lot can be learned about the implementation of technology in Starbucks stores for the clinical trial space. Starbucks’ attitude of dealing with problems as they came and being influenced by the on-the-ground feedback could be implemented for clinical trial sites.

“When a problem is evident, you don’t have to spend a lot of time to measure it”

- Robert Mercer
