Team

Commercial Research Team

Heading this team is Dr. Piers Mahon, a translational research expert and European Data and Evidence Network lead at IQVIA. Piers and his IQVIA team have supported DIGICORE's prototype network, the Oncology Evidence Network. This network's pioneering work encompasses diverse research methods for DIGICORE, specializing in broad cohort research (e.g., natural history, outcomes) and focused studies on multiple molecular subtypes of cancers. This includes both fee-based commercial services and academic research.

Interests

Commercial Research Interests

01

Efficiencies for patient identification in external comparators to accelerate programs and minimize patient matching inefficiencies, especially for large disease franchises.

02

Establishing ethical, compliant off-label observatories for precision medicines to assess clinical benefits and risks.

03

Adapting Mendelian randomization methods to study somatic mutations' impact on cancer treatment response using real-world data.

04

Coordinating biobanks to form extensive multi-center sample cohorts for translational research and diagnostic development.

05

Validating digital therapeutics and remote patient monitoring through real-world data, addressing confounders like patient motivation bias.

06

Designing and gaining regulatory acceptance for pragmatic, fully digital platform trials, with a focus on conditions like Cachexia.

07

Developing cost-effective digital tools suitable for an international network operating at a "regulatory grade", encompassing data models, capture innovation, outcome validation, NLP, and PRO development.

Please note, we do not consider proposals for proprietary or exclusive research networks, in line with our public-private partnership approach.
