An artificial intelligence tool developed by GE Healthcare twinned with a mobile X-ray device can help the placement of endotracheal tubes (ETTs), a necessary step for COVID-19 patients who require ventilation. The new tool – part of GE’s Critical Care Suite 2.0 – helps bedside staff and radiologists assess patients before intubation and make sure ETTs are positioned correctly which should reduce complications.

AstraZeneca’s research chief has said that the more effective dosing regimen of its coronavirus vaccine was discovered by accident. According to Reuters , the AstraZeneca development team made a minor mistake that made them realise they could significantly boost the success rate of the vaccine, codenamed AZD1222. Results announced earlier this week showed that by giving a half dose, followed by a full dose a month later, the vaccine’s efficacy could be boosted from 62% to around 90%.

When selecting a clinical supply provider, consideration often focuses upon the manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution capabilities available that will, at face-value, be sufficient to meet the needs of the sponsor and their trial. However, there are human-based and knowledge-driven factors that are often overlooked that go beyond these basic physical capabilities and are integral to the development and delivery of high performing clinical supply chains.

As the development pipeline for new drugs continues to grow, biopharmaceutical companies are re-evaluating how to best manage and balance resources across an increasing number of development projects and complex clinical trials. There are two approaches that can be used to speed a drug from development to clinic faster: timeline compression and parallel processing, but only one that considers the benefits of integrating clinical supply into the overall drug development process.

The global landscape of clinical trials is rapidly changing as studies become more complex. An increasing number of sponsors are seeking enhanced flexibility in their supply chains to address a variety of clinical supply challenges, including patient demand and reducing delays. Demand-led supply and direct-to-patient distribution are next-generation solutions that are helping to meet these growing needs, allowing for more streamlined processes and patient-centric studies.
