CLOSING PANEL DISCUSSION: Macro perspective: Facilitating the harmonization and equivalence of working across regions

  • How can sponsors and service providers start using guidance in totality instead of in silos?
  • Overcoming the lack in consistency of regulations between regions and countries
  • Collaborative ways to render it easier for regulators to accept multiregional trial data
  • Developing shared expectations for trial conduct, acceptability of endpoints and data transparency

KEYNOTE: How to optimize efficiencies at clinical trial sites when they’re underperforming

  • Building a partnership reciprocity between sites and sponsors to reduce discord and ensure sites are confident enough to succeed
  • Is it fair to place the shortcomings of trial success on site performance?
  • Developing an integrated strategic global site engagement model to transform site experience
  • Enabling innovative approaches to drug development and delivering new treatments to patients faster
  • Equipping sites with a clear and well-defined protocols to be able to best respond to sponsor needs
