Session 8, Track 4: Co-Managing a Complete Regulatory Program with AI: A Sponsor–Technology Co-Design Case Study

Session Chair(s)

Consultant - Strategy & Change, Red Nucleus, United Kingdom

This session explores a biotech sponsor’s integration of AI across its regulatory program, from pre-IND planning to submission, to streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and ensure compliance while managing multiple assets. It describes a co-design approach, where sponsor subject matter experts and technology partners mapped regulatory workflows, leveraging large language models for narrative drafting, automated document management, structured data extraction and metrics managed to achieve significant time savings and improved cross-functional alignment. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a live workflow mapping exercise to identify automation opportunities in their own programs and gain a practical framework for AI adoption in regulatory management.
