KEYNOTE PANEL: The Patient Enrollment Revolution: Global Lessons from China’s Clinical Trial Efficiency 主题圆桌:患者入组革命:中国临床试验效率带来的全球启示

Patient enrollment remains one of the most critical bottlenecks in global drug development, often delaying timelines, increasing costs, and limiting patient access to innovative therapies. Against this backdrop, China has emerged not merely as a region of vast patient numbers, but as a laboratory for systemic innovation in clinical trial execution.  患者入组仍是全球药物开发中最关键的瓶颈之一,常常导致时间线延误、成本上涨,而且还会限制患者获得创新疗法的机会。在这一背景下,中国利用其庞大的患者数量而,不断发展临床试验执行中的体系创新。

Why Innovation Fails to Scale at the Pilot Stage

  • Defining clear ownership, success metrics, and decision points at every stage of implementation
  • Exploring how sponsors, CROs, and technology partners can better align expectations and timelines
  • Is the industry too risk-averse to innovate properly?
  • Identifying when to pivot, pause, or scale innovations based on measurable impact and long-term feasibility

CLOSING PANEL DISCUSSION The Feasibility Crisis: Are Sponsors Pushing Sites Beyond Capacity?

  • Why recruitment forecasts and feasibility assessments across the DACH region continue to miss targets despite strong research infrastructure and healthcare systems
  • How increasing study competition, protocol complexity, and limited patient availability are placing growing pressure on sites
  • The operational challenges impacting recruitment and patient access across the region
  • How sponsors, CROs, and sites can work together to create more realistic feasibility strategies and more sustainable approaches to patient recruitment and site engagement

PANEL DISCUSSION Future-Proofing Clinical Trials with AI: Will Today’s AI Strategies Survive Tomorrow’s Clinical Trial Landscape?

  • Exploring how AI can support end-to-end clinical trial delivery, from protocol authoring and risk assessment through to data analysis and reporting
  • Examining how historical trial outcomes, regulatory feedback, and operational data can be leveraged to improve planning, country selection, site strategy, and database design
  • Understanding how AI-driven connectivity across departments can break down silos and create a more integrated approach to trial execution
  • Discussing how organisations can operationalise AI strategically to future-proof clinical development processes rather than applying disconnected point solutions
