Time: 8:35 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. ET

Built for Trust: Responsibly Uniting Agentic and Generative AI to Optimize Data Quality and Interpretation of Clinical Outcomes Assessments

The crossroads of data integrity, data consistency, and accurate interpretation are ripe for the application of both agentic and generative AI. Developing and operating such tools requires recognition of potential risks and adherence to a responsible-use framework specifically designed for the clinical trial paradigm. A case-study-based approach will be taken, with real-world examples, demonstrating how novel applications of AI can enhance clinical outcomes assessments, delivering results sponsors and regulators can trust.

Partner-led sessions information:

Session 1:

Date: Tuesday, February 3, 2026

Time: 4:20 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. ET

Title: From Reactive to Proactive: Integrating Remote Cardiac Safety Monitoring to Enhance Clinical Trial Insights

Track: Digital Endpoints and Biomarkers

Many therapeutic agents including chemotherapeutic drugs, ion channel blockers and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) carry the risk of cardiovascular harm. Traditional practice relies primarily on patient symptoms and scheduled in-clinic checkups. However, this approach can lead to significant delays in detecting asymptomatic ECG abnormalities. Through real-world case studies, we’ll explore potential substantial benefits that this proactive monitoring strategy brings to trials.

Speakers:

  • Cecilia Xi, Vice President, Clinical and Scientific Affairs, Vivalink
  • Sonia Ortner, Vice President, Digital Endpoint Strategy, Clario
