The Innovation Illusion

In 2024, Cytel undertook a landmark initiative to explore the transformation of clinical trials and the expanded relevance of advanced quantitative methods. Engaging four renowned key opinion leaders (KOLs) and over 30 industry leaders, we captured diverse perspectives on the future of biometrics in life sciences.

Our book, The Innovation Illusion, explores the Reimagined RCT and Expanded Utility of Advanced Quantitative Methods as the central concept. The book examines how biometrics, real-world evidence, and advanced analytics are transforming life sciences. Highlights include the potential of digital twins to replace Phase I trials, adaptive RCTs that streamline Phases II and III, and integrated real-world evidence that redefines patient-centric efficacy and safety.

This forward-looking exploration envisions a future where data science and technology revolutionize clinical research and drug development.
