Stephen Lutsch

In my position as Senior Director – Clinical Trial Digital Innovation at Genmab, I lead a team driving AI adoption within clinical operations, decentralized clinical trials and digital innovation in drug development. Previously, I have been working to bring the best disruptive innovation into normal clinical operations at LEO Pharma to help improve and accelerate their clinical trials. Furthermore, I am trying to solve some of the toughest challenges related to scaling digitalization, data, and automation to generate competitive advantages across business units. One aspect is driving the necessary foundational components around a scalable GxP data platform, machine learning opportunities as well as automating digital processes with robotics process automation. Besides leading the necessary change internally, focus is on a design-thinking approach where we put the patient and site at the center. I have an ambition towards “delighting” patients, investigators, and sponsors by solving the real-world challenges they face by leveraging both qualitative interviews and observation, as well as quantitative methods to reveal actionable insights

I have a PH degree in Pharmaceutical sciences by the Barcelona University. I started my career as a researcher in Neurochemical department within the Barcelona Biomedical Research Institute (IIBB), where I developed my PH degree focused on Alzheimer’s disease and Inflammation.

Once I completed my Ph Degree in Neuroscience, I moved to the clinical industry, working most of my career in Data Management, first in a small CRO company and later in the pharma industry.

For along almost 12 years, I was managing phase III clinical trials acting as Global Data Manager Lead, coordinating end-to-end data management activities (including SDTM development) mainly outsourced to global CROs. Apart of the oversight of clinical trials, part of my role as an expert in DM was to lead standardization on E2E data and processes.

On 2018, I completely changed my role and moved to the Quality area. Since then, I’m Director on Clinical Quality Compliance. On this role, I’m providing quality support to Biometrics functions (including DM, Programming and Statistics roles). Among other activities, I’m giving quality related advice and guidance, overseeing quality issues, CAPA implementation and risk management.

Since 2020, I’m Regulatory Considerations Expert Group DMEG Chair on the Association for Clinical Data Management. The aim of the Regulatory Considerations Expert Group looks at providing guidance information on several areas surrounding regulations. The expectations and recommendations on implementation and what data management needs to be prepared for in readiness for inspection.
