Norstella’s Real-World Data/AI Executive Forum Highlights
The Norstella Real-World Data Executive Forum explores how real-world data (RWD) can accelerate treatment progress in neuro-oncology, particularly for small patient populations and rare subgroups whose outcomes take years to fully measure. Norstella’s mission to “smooth the path to life-saving therapies” guides its RWD strategy, including curating data elements that closely mirror clinical trial inclusion […]
Norstella and Replit Team Up to Accelerate Innovation and Optimize Commercial Processes with AI

Innovation at Norstella often begins with a question: What if we could move faster—without sacrificing quality or compliance? During a recent hackathon, Norstella’s commercial and product teams had a chance to answer that question firsthand and help us drive our mission of improving patient access to lifesaving therapies across the drug development cycle by using […]
The Convergence of AI and Real-World Data are Reshaping Clinical Trials

As clinical trials increase in number and complexity, so does the competition for the patients best aligned to the study requirements. And with clinical trial processes relatively unchanged over the past decades, a patient and investigator bottleneck has emerged. Finally, with the convergence of artificial intelligence and algorithms trained on real-world data (RWD) sources, we […]
