Paulius Ojeras: AI is Changing the Clinical Trial Cost Equation

AI is about to force a much bigger conversation in clinical research than most people realize. In this episode, Ram Yalamanchili, CEO of Tilda Research, and Paulius Ojeras, VP of Clinical Operations at Perceive Biotherapeutics, dig into how AI could change the economics of running studies, not just by improving quality and accelerating timelines, but by putting real pressure on the traditional CRO pricing model. If the work takes fewer hours, gets done faster, and delivers better outputs, what exactly should sponsors still be paying for? That question leads to one of the most fascinating parts of the discussion: whether clinical development is headed toward rebates, new pricing structures, and a very different definition of value.
