#401.1 IT: Box Innovation Theater: From Digital Debt to Strategic Asset - Making Regulated Clinical Content AI-Ready
Monday June 15, 2026 10:15am - 10:45am EDT
Innovation Theater 3
Component Type: Session

Biopharma organizations have spent decades generating clinical content. Trial master files, investigator documents, safety narratives, and regulatory submissions sit largely unclassified and functionally invisible across content repositories. Content was generated across every study, processed once, and never revisited — leaving every insight locked inside the document itself, blind to the AI systems now being built on top of it. Join us to hear from Industry leaders, in a candid conversation about transforming years of digital debt into an AI-ready content foundation. You will hear real-world perspectives on what metadata maturity looks like in practice and what becomes possible when intelligent content workflows finally reach regulated clinical data.

#401.2 IT: Deep Intelligent Pharma K.K. Innovation Theater: Accelerate Deep Tech Impact - Mentor Japanese MD/PhDs with Agentic AI from Startup Launch to Physician-Led Trials
Monday June 15, 2026 10:15am - 10:45am EDT
Innovation Theater 2
Component Type: Session

Japanese MDs and PhDs possess deep tacit knowledge and clinical insights that could transform patient care, yet turning these into successful deep tech startups and physician-led clinical trials remains extremely challenging due to fragmented support systems, regulatory complexity, and limited entrepreneurial resources. This session introduces a powerful new approach that combines structured mentoring with Agentic AI to guide Japanese physician-scientists from idea validation and company founding through to efficient, physician-led clinical development. Participants will discover practical frameworks and real-world examples of how Agentic AI accelerates critical steps—including protocol design, regulatory navigation, and evidence generation—while experienced mentors help bridge the gap between academic excellence and market impact. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to unlock societal value from university and hospital tacit knowledge and build more successful, clinician-driven innovation pipelines in Japan and beyond.

#419 IT: AlphaLife Sciences Innovation Theater: AI-Powered eCTD Authoring - Faster Draft-to-Submission with AI Tool Demos
Monday June 15, 2026 12:25pm - 12:55pm EDT
Innovation Theater 2
Component Type: Session

This session explores practical, systematic approaches to AI-orchestrated authoring and quality control across the end-to-end R&D document lifecycle. We examine high-value use cases spanning clinical (Protocol, CSR, M2.5, M2.7), CMC, and nonclinical documentation to demonstrate how AI can drastically accelerate IND, NDA, and BLA filing timelines by shortening the draft-to-submission window. Attendees will see AI tool demonstrations showing how regulatory writing teams leverage AI within familiar environments, specifically a Microsoft Word add-in integrated with Veeva RIM. This approach ensures evidence-anchored content generation and orchestration across eCTD documents, utilizing content linkage for change intelligence. Finally, we introduce a document-network model that identifies propagation paths for automated updates across a tightly linked network of documents. This framework enables cross-document consistency and scalable QC for both initial submissions and subsequent amendments, empowering professionals to produce high-quality, compliant filings with greater efficiency and confidence.

#420 IT: CGS Immersive Innovation Theater: From 12 Weeks to 6 - How AI Transformed Compliance Training
Monday June 15, 2026 12:25pm - 12:55pm EDT
Innovation Theater 3
Component Type: Session

The biggest barrier in regulated training isn’t delivery — it’s the painstaking process of development. In this live session, see how Cicero Learn, an AI engine built for compliance-driven organizations, automatically transforms SOPs, protocols, and SME interviews into fully structured, audit-ready training — no templates or instructional designers needed. You’ll also discover how a major blood services organization used this approach to cut new-hire certification time nearly in half while maintaining safety and compliance across thousands of learners. Walk away with a proven framework for piloting next-generation AI learning in your own regulated environment.

#424 IT: Kivo Innovation Theater: Nothing Changes Unless We Do - Implementing QMS with CRISPR Therapeutics in 52 Days
Monday June 15, 2026 1:05pm - 1:35pm EDT
Innovation Theater 2
Component Type: Session

Quality improvement rarely starts with a blank slate — but what happens when it does? When CRISPR Therapeutics faced a contract deadline and an overly complex QMS, they chose disruption over incremental fixes, rebuilding their Quality processes from the ground up in just 52 days. In this session, CRISPR's Executive Director of Quality and Pharmacovigilance Operations, Kate Ellmer, and Kivo's VP of Services, Chris Xistris, share how stripping away the bells and whistles revealed a simpler, more effective path forward. Walk away with a practical framework for right-sizing your QMS, evaluating vendors under pressure, and turning operational constraints into a catalyst for real change.

Learning Objectives

How to think about Quality Management Systems from an entrepreneurial perspective; What “right-sizing” a Quality system means for smaller / scaling organizations; Concrete examples of simplified processes; What to look for when exploring a new system.

#428 IT: Evernorth Health Services Innovation Theater: Enabling Real World Patient Reported Outcomes Collection Through Specialty Pharmacy Engagement
Monday June 15, 2026 1:45pm - 2:15pm EDT
Innovation Theater 3
Component Type: Session

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly central to understanding real-world treatment experiences, yet recruiting patients into longitudinal PRO studies remains operationally challenging. Specialty pharmacies represent a high-frequency, trusted point of contact with patients receiving complex therapies, offering a scalable and underutilized opportunity for patient engagement. This presentation will discuss study design considerations, early engagement outcomes, and implications for scalable, patient-centered real-world evidence generation using existing healthcare touchpoints.

Learning Objectives

Describe the role of specialty pharmacy touchpoints in facilitating recruitment for real-world PRO studies; Evaluate early feasibility and engagement outcomes from a longitudinal PRO study leveraging pharmacy-based patient outreach; Identify design and operational considerations for integrating PRO data collection into real-world evidence generation.

#429 IT: Verily Health Inc Innovation Theater: Bridge the Evidence Gap - Integrating Consumer Wearables and Real-World Data for Continuous, Participant-Centric Insights
Monday June 15, 2026 1:45pm - 2:15pm EDT
Innovation Theater 1
Component Type: Session

Life sciences sponsors invest heavily in clinical trials, yet frequently lose visibility into patient outcomes the moment a study ends. While traditional real-world data attempts to bridge this gap, it relies on episodic snapshots that miss the continuous health signals that matter most: functional status and quality of life, reflected in sleep quality, daily physical activity, and autonomic function. This session presents a practical framework for integrating consumer wearable data with recontactable participant registries and curated electronic health records. By utilizing an open platform approach, sponsors can build a continuous evidence engine that generates actionable insights across the entire product lifecycle. Drawing from a decade of digital measures research across neurology, cardiovascular, and metabolic conditions, this presentation will share concrete strategies for designing wearable-enabled studies that balance data quality, participant experience, and scientific rigor.
