In the remarkable journey of drug discovery embarked by Pharmaceutical companies, CROs and researchers are in the need of clinical research data. Widespread sharing of these data within and across sectors, could improve public health, enhance patient safety, and spur drug development. Data sharing can also increase public trust in clinical trials and the conclusions derived from them by offering transparency to the clinical research process. HCL’s collaborative portal is a step towards enhancing clinical data sharing and helps in overcoming unique implementation challenges which the pharmaceutical industry has not dealt with before.
