Sites in the Driver’s Seat: How Sanofi Is Flipping the eSource Playbook

Session details:

Sanofi outlines how it's operationalizing a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) model for clinical data acquisition. Site technology landscapes are more nuanced than "EHR or no EHR" — many sites have EHRs they've never connected to research workflows.  Starting in early-phase chronic disease studies, the approach addresses these key

takeaways:

• Why EHR-centered eSource models break down in community, specialty, and early‑phase sites

• How a BYOT, menu‑based approach reduces site burden while maintaining sponsor data integrity

• What it takes internally to align clinical ops, IT, regulatory, and data teams around a new operating model

• Why starting digital site enablement in Phase I creates compounding downstream value

• Early lessons on where site‑driven technology adoption succeeds—and where resistance remains
