Parexel embraces real world evidence, enlisting Datavant to drill it into CRO workflow
With the emergence of real-world evidence as a promising way to capture data points outside of clinical trials and speed up drug development, contract research organizations — the stalwarts of traditional trial execution — are often leading the charge in adopting new technology.
