KEY NOTE: Driving CRO Performance in Clinical Trial

  • Determining the optimal stage for CRO engagement to maximize efficiency
  • Engaging CROs in protocol development to inform strategic decisions, including country selection and trial design considerations
  • Leveraging CRO expertise by fostering a collaborative, partnership-driven relationship

Tracking Global Rare Disease Trial Trends and Preparing for 2027

  • Where rare disease trial activity is growing/declining and which indications are driving this
  • Geographic shifts in where trials are being conducted and emerging locations to watch
  • Benchmarking trial size, duration, sites/countries and other operational metrics against industry standards
  • How trial designs are evolving, including adaptive/platform approaches and strain-agnostic development
  • What the current pipeline and data suggest for 2027 and beyond

Breaking Down Silos – What Clinical Development and Drug Safety Can Learn from Each Other in Rare Disease Trials

  • The biggest misconceptions Clinical Development and Drug Safety have about one another, particularly in complex rare disease programmes
  • Practical lessons from your six-month role swap and how it changed the way you approached collaboration
  • How a better understanding of each function’s responsibilities can strengthen decision-making when working with small patient populations and limited clinical data
  • Simple ways organisations can encourage closer cross-functional collaboration and improve rare disease study delivery
