END OF CONFERENCE
Chair’s closing remarks
Session reserved for GlobalData
Designing appropriate and patient-focused oncology trials to reduce patient and site burden
- Understanding site processes and expectations to reduce delays in site initiation, activation, and screening for potential patients
- Championing collaborative sites for a streamlined trial
- Can we ever be appropriately equipped for adverse effects with off-site testing?
PANEL DISCUSSION: How Artificial Intelligence (AI) is powering a new era of cancer drug discovery and development
- Moving from basic functionalities to more meaningful impact and examples of this in practice
- When AI is progressing so quickly, how will regulation evolve to match this speed?
- When is AI not the answer?
- How AI has revolutionised innovative ways of collecting data, biosimulation, and early disease diagnosis for oncology trials
The role of patient research NGOs in drug development – illustrated by the Children’s Tumor
Foundation’s leadership role in the EU PEARL project
KEYNOTE: How do you increase patient accessibility for your clinical trials to enroll the right patients while ensuring patient safety
- Assessing the link between eligibility criteria and the potential for a serious adverse event to make an informed decision about potentially expanding the exclusion criteria of a trial
- Discovering alternative solutions to improve patient enrollment into trials
- Where are you getting your data for entry criteria?
- How have the increased pressures of patient recruitment led to changing and expanding your traditional enrollment methods? What are you doing differently to increase enrollment?
- Ensuring your entry criteria are not too conservative but remain safe so that you can reach real world populations
- What are the criteria that are major barriers for underrepresented minorities?
- How are you using AI to interrogate which criteria to change?
Morning refreshments and networking
CLOSING PANEL DISCUSSION: Why do drugs fail clinical trials?

- How to improve drug efficacy and patient safety before it’s too late
- Back to square one: Differentiating with simpler, patient-centric protocols and optimised study design
- Avoiding disappointing results by implementing the right technology tools to advance your trial
- Lessons learned to mitigate trial failures
