Medical monitoring done right: the three questions every sponsor should ask

Ensuring the right medical monitoring (MM) approach is critical to trial success—but sponsors often overlook key factors that impact cost, efficiency, and patient safety. This session will cover three essential questions sponsors should ask: Who is on the medical team and do they have real-world expertise? Are you paying for the right level of MM or just paying more? When should MM start, and what happens if it’s too late? Attendees will gain actionable insights on how to optimize MM strategy, avoid unnecessary expenses, and enhance study outcomes.

 

·       Medical monitoring teams: Why indication-specific expertise matters.

·       Cost versus value: Avoiding unnecessary 24/7 coverage and eligibility review costs.

·       Early MM involvement: How proactive planning prevents protocol pitfalls.

Technology Solutions for Reducing Hidden costs in Clinical Supply and Trial Changes

Inefficiencies in investigational medicinal product (IMP) management can significantly impact trial timelines and budgets. We’ll explore strategies to optimize the clinical supply chain, focusing on advanced forecasting strategies to minimize waste without compromising patient access. Discover how to build a robust, long-term supply plan that enhances overall trial efficiency and ensures secure, cost-effective IMP delivery.

Beyond Boundaries – Unlocking the Potential of Cross-Border Enrollment in Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are the backbone of medical innovation, but one of the biggest challenges we face is patient recruitment. In an era where diseases know no borders, why should access to potentially life-saving treatments be limited by geography? Cross-border enrollment offers a powerful solution—expanding trial access, accelerating recruitment, and improving diversity. But it’s not without challenges. This session will

 

  • Give a background on cross border enrollment and why it is a beneficial tool in clinical trial recruitment
  • Discuss some regulatory and logistical challenges when implementing cross border enrollment
  • Provide case studies of Worldwide Clinical Trials successful implementation of cross border enrollment strategies
