Clinical trial data management is increasingly challenging as studies grow in complexity. Quickly accessing and analyzing study data is vital for assessing trial progress and patient safety. In this paper, we explore real-time data access and analysis for proactive study management. We investigate using adverse event (AE) data to monitor safety and discuss a clinical analytics platform that supports collaboration and data review workflows.

The Microbiota-Gut-Brain axis (MGBA) is a topic of interest that has gained attention and recognition in the scientific community over the past years. The gut–brain axis includes the central nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, and it is an information exchange network that connects the gut and the brain. It can transmit information bidirectionally: “top–down” from the brain to the gut and “bottom–up” from the gut to the brain.
